Yes, power production and turbo noise will increase. An Evo 9 motor rebuild will cost you at the very least 3k installed. For a 4 horsepower increase thats a hell of an expense for absolutely NOTHING.
Anyways....55 bucks for an oil change?
Bro, go to Costco, Sams, BJ's or even WalMart and buy a case of 6 qt's of Mobil 1 10w-30 or 5w-20 for winter (not recomended but it makes it easier for my motor to warm up in the super cold) and buy a PuroLator oil filter from AutoZone for 6 bucks. Total investment, 32 bucks....Just a thought.

For the short period of time you ran without your air filter, given the weather conditions, you should be fine and no harm is done. If you are the paraniod type clean out your MAF with a compressed air can. Just put a stock or K&N drop in filter and you should be set. Also, if using the K&N drop in filter make sure you drain and dry the filter of all residual oil. You don't want any of that stuff coating you MAF sensor ... bake it out in the sun or take a hair dryer to it, if you have to ...

I just bought the filter so befor I "drop it in" I'll crean the maf with the can"o" air to be on the safe side and dry the hell out of the filter.

One more quick question.......how come I didn't get a check engine light when I was driving without a air filter? I thought for sure that I should have seen a CEL......should it throw a cel or it's normal not to?
