That's not my definition of a 'working' air filter mate :lol:

According to K&N, the filtering is not done by "blocking" the particles, but adhering them by the oil & the thin thread end splits.

I know their advertising literature mate, I've wasted money on them like so many others before me (and after!)

I've been using K&N for years without filtering problem. Yes indeed, it's not that clean as the stock paper filter can provide, but very close.
|
I could explain how they reach their filtering percentages, but won't bother (it's a con)
Have a look on my website under 'intake' if you're really interested.

And it out performs a lot in flow.

no it does not.
I've got the pressure measurments to prove it.

Let's admit it, those obvious radial traces on the blades can only be made by "fluid", not "particles" from bad filtering.
|
I've seen worn compressors that looked exactly like yours, and these people had never used W.I.

I know the corroded blades in the picture is scaring (to some at least), but I absolutely hope to see other's successful results. (And actually I'm still using this same turbo now & it seems OK. )

The compressor efficiency is a bit lower, no big deal, don't worry too much about it. Just use the stock filter from now on.

About the jet location we were talking over a lot previously, I have a reverse idea that maybe getting the jet(s) further upstream would be better.
|
I've just set up mine as upstream as possible (right after the MAF)
There is a 'split' afterwards, with the pipes going to each turbo (say 120degree turns) Then there is a 180degree turn for each turbo.
Who knows how the atomisation will be after all this torturous path...
When I dismantle the turbos in the future, I'll stick a W.I. nozzle right opposite to each compressor. Then we'll know which one works better.
Wish me good luck :wink:
