Not the same cars I know, but I used K&N in my TD6 and ITG in my TD5 for years without issue. Just need to clean and reoil them occasionally.

There's an argument that if you ask a turbo or supercharger builder, they'll tell you which one had a free flow filter and which one had a paper filter. They all go eventually so go for it or use the cash for a takeaway. Your remap even with a paper filter will still give you a decent improvement. visiting from www.rrsport.co.uk |

When I bought my 2004 4.4V8 petrol Full Fat I admit that I knew very little about the car. It was only when I ordered a full service kit that I discovered that I couldn’t use the air filter (which is still in the garage!) as my car had a BMC CDA (carbon dynamic air box) fitted to it. It was only then that I realised why it seemed to roar more than I expected.

Well overall I decided to go for the pipercross one. I doubt it will even make any difference power wise as they never really normally do. My impreza only squeezed an extra 2bhp from mapping with it on 10 year ago but for me it's more the sound |

I put a K&N filter in a 4.0 Ford Explorer and straight out the box it contaminated the MAF sensor. |
