im curious as to what would actually get sucked in? any pictures since you removed it already......

There's a lightweight springy thing that must keep the auxilliary foam filter in place. I suppose that if the main filter got clogged while you're under boost, the force of the air coming through the bypass filter could push this plastic thing into the intake.

Personally, I think it is unlikely but I'll take some pictures and post them.
