I was amazed with how much road trash the scoops collected and transferred to the Air Box. A cup-full at times.

In your case I see no filtering system prior to the Turbocharger compressor blades.
Maybe you have some screening that was not visible in the pictures.

Hate to see a new set of Turbos trashed and needing a rebuild minimum because you killed your turbos.
Big Chief got his turbos for free from Precision Turbos (so if the Oklahoma grit kills them) he can get another set.

Food for thought.

Unfortunately, air filters are super restrictive on the front of turbos, but we do have screens to keep out low flying birds and some debris. Also at 750.00 ea. Its not too hurtful to replace one. Don't have Big Chief money or sponsors.
