I am not sure if anyone has used them on the 20VT. I think people tend to go for a cone type filter and some form of shield to seperate it from the warm engine compartment.
Some people also drill the standard airbox or fit a larger trumpet as apparently the stock airbox is quite restrictive. Some reckon on 15bhp + faster spool up of the turbo.

I am not keen on cone filters on turbo cars as you tend just to get a sucking noise instead of an induction roar like you would get on a naturally aspirated car.
I have a few mods planned on the coupe, but nothing too drastic, I can't afford to blow it up..
