Turbo upgrade question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I just bought a used T67 turbo kit for my SR20, and my question relates to the air intake on such a large turbo. Please bear with me, as I still have a lot to learn about turbos and motors in general. Most all pictures I see of similar big turbo upgrades just show the turbo with an exposed turbine wheel, with no type of intake pipe or air filter. I'm guessing this is a horrible idea for normal driving, correct? Also, how is it possible to run your car like this without having the MAFS before the turbo? Can you eliminate the need for a MAFS through ECU tuning/replacement? Please share some knowledge. thanks.
