After this test I made the switch to Perrin intake and ordering my AMSOIL filter ASAP. I don't have anything bad to say about K&N, just the proof is in the puddin'.

My Perrin arrives from MAP today.

Then I can put my ETS intake with K&N up for sale.

Found the problem

Looks like my MAF gave up its life for the airfilter shootout. And my perrin filter is due to arrive on monday. Now I remember why I dislike this style of filter!





This same thing happened on my 2G DSM, but that car had MAF-T on it in blow-through. I had a bastard20g/sleeper16g on the car at the time (thank god!) so the metal cap got stuck in the turbo inlet, about 5mm from the compressor wheel.

Anyone got a good condition maf for sale?

Yes, and for the record, it was NOT like this for the test

Thanks a lot, it's actually not funny. I've had boat-loads of bad luck lately and this is just a real flick in the nuts on top of other stuff.

I had a girl do that flick of the nuts once. We no longer dated after that.

Keep your head up Scheides, your luck is bound to turn around for the better soon enough.

I would say the Amsoil is the best filtering followed by the Apexi.
