air filter collapsing with ati

What do you do if your filter is sucking shut when you are in boost? Mine is doing that and I was just curious if there is a fix for it out there.

The filter itself or the intake tubing? If it's the filter, I'd try a new one I guess.

Its the filter itself. It is very weak. I figured on just buying a new one but wanted to see if this was common.

Are you running the twin high flows? If so I would highly recommend going with a bigger filter. I had the same issue with my setup.

I'm still running the 2core, but I'm going to upgrade to the twin set up here soon. Do you have a size on that filter so I know what I'm after?

Just look at your setup and fit the biggest filter you can.
