I think you'll end up sucking in all the hot air off the engine & exhaust

RE: air filter straight on turbo - willkirk93 - 12-12-2015
when I got the car I could hear the turbo but wen my car went into garage for new clutch they noticed the pipe had fell of the turbo so they asked me if I wanted it fitted so I said yes and now cant hear the turbo and my car is really sluggish so been told to put filter on turbo and make a cold air feed just not sure the easiest way to get to turbo

Are you sure the standard filter is alright?
RE: air filter straight on turbo - willkirk93 - 14-12-2015

Fair one.

I'd get some kind of mesh and just put that on & cable tie around to secure it or something.
Dunno if it's an entirely good idea but I've seen it done a few times on drift cars without problems

Jubilee clip and a sieve will keep rocks, animals and small children from being sucked in.
*disclaimer: it'll probably end up dead if you run anything less than a proper filter*

You've seen it on cars that do maybe 10 miles a week? Try it on a car that does 15,000 a year!
And then open the bores and check for wear, open up the turbo and check it's health with a microscope, looking ok and being ok are entirely different.

Sieve mesh massively cuts down the intake size! Filters use a huge surface area to avoid that.
