Yea, and ive already trimmed my fan shroud back to the actual fan, so there is no more room possible without moving the turbo back...
I know its the piping and not the filter, I pointed that out earlier. And 1100rwhp is not twice as much as I make

i was referring to the 650hp you said you made and his 1100. i dont know what your makes set to kit but he sits around 2200hp on a higher boost level, he doesnt run a filter at that level thats for sure. 1100 was on 12lbs

Well at that point it is probably double
The 650 was before adding timing and low boost
It is interesting how sensitive turbos (and centrifugal blowers for that matter) are to the intake piping.

i just asked him and he said throw a filter on the turbo without the piping. it will give you the best possible flow with little raise in intake temp, but after the intercooler and meth you will be plenty cold.

yeah it is very interesting . when i was logging last friday night i logged with the filter on and it off and we saw a 2.7 psi difference and the blower came on way quicker throttle response was night and day. i em very interested in seeing the difference on this huge intake .... lol

If the pipe is large enough not to cause a restriction (which hopefully my sewer pipe is) then it will behave the same as the filter directly on the turbo.

its apples and oranges, cant compare

well its not necessarily because of "restriction " either. it has to do with turbulence also (how the air spins into the impeller) also, thats why you see allot of turbo guys put velocity stack on the front of turbos to make the whirl wind effect.
