I agree, any water, gunk, etc on the tires would go all over the filter there unless you could make some kind of custom shield.
My friend has been telling me he wanted one of these kits for his tacoma and that they are only 3,500 bucks. I've not had time to investigate, but for 5 grand I would rather go the conventional route.

Hell, it might even break a window and rupture and ear drum if the car is relatively air tight. At full boil, the turbo is sucking is massive amounts of air. There is only about 15 cubic feet of air space in the trunk. You do the math

if anything else I'd look into just sticking the filter directly on the turbo inlet

You face the filter twards the back of the car and use an aluminum shield louvered as well to the back for protection.
in the trunk?.... what kind of airflow is in the trunk? wouldn't that be stagnant air?
