Not that simple John, in order for a filter to work well it has be a bit
DIRTY, filters are designed to operate with some dirt (I tested many
filters.....).
Look at it this way, a naturally aspirated engine can only suck using the
pistons as a pump.....not that strong!.... a turbo engine can suck much,
much, harder...... so it is much more important to have a clean filter with
a NA engine than it is with a turbo engine, 
this is ONLY a rule of thumb.....
