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

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*
Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.

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.
