when hauling on open trailer does the turbo intake need to be covered bagged to keep wind out of the turbo

new to turbos when hauling on open trailer does the turbo intake need to be covered bagged to keep wind out of the turbo

Most definitely. I just take 2 or 3 shopping bags and some elastic bands and put it over it, try and suck it down enough that the upper bag doesn't flap a ton, it'll get a hole in it quick. But in either case you don't want dirt getting on it, it's meant to filter snow, not dirt particles.

Go to Menards-Lowes-Home Depot and get a rubber cap from the plumbing section and get a hose clamp. Remove air intake filter-install rubber cap with a hose clamp.....

You don't want the wind to start spinning your turbine with out the engine running to lubricate the bearings. keep it covered when transporting it.

I use a $10 goretex stuff sack from one of my local mountaineering shops. Seems to work great and it is an easy on/off with a draw string. They come in multiple sizes.
