I need to ask my tuner if he took any vids haha. I took my car to Austria so I wadn’t there during the tuning process.

Here is a video of a quick pull! The external wastegates sound insane! The whole upgrade was worth it just for the sound.

Next is getting better tires for the rear because stock Michelins don’t cut it.

It sounds so good, and pulls very strong mid to top end.

I would never use the oil and cloth air filter, again. I had to replace an engine due to all the junk it passed. The cylinders were ruined. The shop owner said the filter had let a lot of dirty air pass and destroyed the top. Compression shot etc. Showed me the wear.

what filter would you use?

what filter would you use?

A high quality paper filter. I like the performance with the oil and mesh but just for fun, look through it forward the sky or bright light. It is very porous, which is what the shop had me do. I got more power and my turbo worked better but at what cost? It is frustrating because if it truly protected I would use one now but never again and the company that sells them, would take zero responsibility even when the head mechanic said he would talk with them but nope, they wanted no input. If you have the money, which some companies that race have, then rebuilding engines is no big deal but for me, no I don't have that in my budget. :^)

I think a paper air filter would be sucked in by my turbo ?

I understand. Now it will suck in fine dirt and sand. But wow, I hope I am so wrong, but my engine told the story but I wish the best of luck. And my mechanic showed me the evidence in the tear down and also the intake with fine silt in it.

So the stock air filter is better than the https://www.knfilters.com/33-3136-r...c8QZeSvuxrLxhmCJX6bTMCzrAkhPfwHhoCo04QAvD_BwE
?

just popped open the housing and it’s so easy to replace

I would never ever, ever use a K&N again. Never. A ruined engine and 1000s later and the proof shown to me on the tear down confirmed what I was being told verbally. I emailed K&N with the proof and they would own up to nothing!
