?? who is doing your build. Would love to here more about your truck.
Side note in order to get air into the turbo you are going to need some sort of elbow to get air from under the front end somewhere.
Another option if this is a race only application k&n makes a 5" inlet Air Filter but you will have to offset your radiator to the Drivers Side to gain clearence.
?? who is making your headers and turbo support bracket

Re: Filter options for a 5" turbo inlet
...Years ago several individuals tested "grabbing" air from their fog lights (like Robert`s) and found it
to be very hot, and dirty turbulent air. Turns out that heat from the pavement, plus grit and
such made it undesirable (especially if doing both street/strip duty) for turbo inlets.
...There was also a follow-up test where air movement was tracked at several entry/exit points
on a Sy (ie fender vents, cowl hood, front ram-air inlet, etc) and I believe it showed that
fender inlets during acceleration were a vacuum area; and that underhood heat exited in some
pretty strange places.
Wish I`d kept those test results, but I'm working from memory...(probably done around 1994-ish).
