you mean on the boost return outlet?  Pointless really as air only blows out of it.  Can't you just measure it yourself?

yes, do you reckon anything could find its way up there while driving? Like stones from the road etc. The car is away getting work done on it.

you'd have to be doing some serious off roading to get stones in there!  The charger blows air out of there at a fair rate even at idle so there's no real way of things getting in.  Loads of people (myself included) ran/run there g40s with nothing on the end and have had no issues.

If you really want one though I can measure the outer diameter of the boost return opening.

i have one, used for about 2 weeks, in good nick. Just needs the metal end gluing back on the top of the filter (1 bar boost knocked it off - and its used to sucking not blowing).  No biggie.

Suppose you'd not want sh1te in it if stood for a while
