Torque loss with K&N Filter on a turbo?

Hey guys, I have heard of Torque losses if you use too big of an air filter on N/A models. I have an 85 Turbo, and have an enormous K&N filter on mine, but since its a turbo it doesnt matter now big of an air filter i use correct? Im just worried about Torque losses. Thanks guys

i mean its possible, if the air clearner was so big and thick it couldnt suck, but as long as you have who ever told you that, you could have enough sucksion.JK

when did he say throttle response^^^^ torque loss. latley bro you have been in another world. but on top of that....torque loss due to airflowing better.....thats just retarded. to big of an exhaust on an N/A will result in low end torque loss. mabye poeple think it works in the exact opposite end of the engine too.
