im about to do the same (turbo on my sd33) i will be running a el/ef falcon airbox where the battery is ment to be

the stock airfilter setup is fine if you are using stock facotry turbo parts the reason i ans going for the diffrent airbox is becuase im finding sd33 air filters harder to find compaired to el ef falcons

yeh sounds like a good truck could i keep the pre filter and run a rubber intake pipe from the turbo to that filter or a mandrel bent pipe
