Gains to be had from cone filter on turbo cars?

[Michael Guidotti]

Taka,

umm I think this is what I just suggested. ok, maybe I did not explain myself clearly. its still rather early for me. instead of making a new airbox I just insulated the one that was already there. with the cis injection system  this seams much easier. the air hose "snorkel"  I used connected to the hole in the factory box from there went to a hole in the bumper leading to the outside of the car. 

I have heard the same things about these filters, not sure if it is true but my car does not have a MAF and I have never seen any dirt or oil on the "other" side of my K&N.

Mike and Mike,
The way to go w/ this, if you have the inclination, is to build
an insulated airbox that sits low behind the bumper with a snorkel
to suck in cold air far away from the turbo.

mlp on the s-car list has done this. Ask him exactly how he did it
and I'm sure he'd be happy to share some info.

The other concern I have about K&Ns (however unfounded it may be)
are the reports I've read about the filter oil clogging up the MAF.
I'll stick to paper for the time being.
