Apparently, the owner of said K&N overdid the oiling or did it on the wrong 
side of the filter.

I just had my semi annual emissions test done in VA, I have an A4 1.8t with 
K&N conversion, K04 turbo, Garrett chip, LLTEK exhaust, etc. My emissions at 
idle and at speed on the rollers were less than 10% of the allowable standard.

The key I believe is doing things correctly, not blaming it on an aftermarket 
item that has a good reputation.
