A CAI can be put onto a turbo car. It can be attached to the ambient air inlet on the turbo. Just like these pictures will show...

Thats not a CAI, and it pretty much serves as a filter by protecting the turbine.

C'mon man....where does the compressor get it's air?? It's not the exaust gas that gets pumped back into the intake. The exaust gas is used to turn the turbine in which turns the compressor wheel that draws air from the ambient air inlet. A CAI on a turbo is completely legit and possible. You shouldn't flame this guy when you don't got your facts straight either. We can all learn something new without a wise-ass putting us down.

kinda off topic, i was woundering if anyones played around with adding weights to the control arms to improve their quarter mile time, i have seen one guy do this, on a highly modified corolla, it was front wheel drive and he said it gave him better launches, has anyone ever heard of this before?

if your saying you need a filter and pipe for the turbo, you are wrong. like txhatch said, its there to keep rocks and shiit out of the turbine. go figure.
