Question about BR intake filter

I'm in a big need to clean my Buschur Racing air filter. I bought a K&N recharge kit but I distinctly remember when I bought the filter, it didn't look like the oiled type (my filter was white with no hints of red). After searching the interwebs for about a 2 days, I've come across mixed responses, some say the BR filter is wet and others say dry. Are all BR air filters wet? Much thanks for replies.

No, Buschur has two types. If it was a bluish white when you got it, its the dry version(same one I have). When I picked my car up from BR in January, I was told for the dry type use a compressor and blow it out from the inside. Hope that helps.

Hmm. Can't say mine was bluish... Maybe more of a copier paper white. Got mine at least a year ago. Are the versions either white or red (dry or wet)?

I got mine in November of 2007 and it was the blueish-white I think. It looks like the one at this link: https://secure.buschurracing.com/cat...bd2fe271c37c0f

*edit - Whoops, forgot to say that I thought it was a wet, but I think it is a dry.

I have the blue one and it is def a dry filter. Snap a photo of the filter and someone will be able to tell you for sure which one you have.

Forgot to get back to this. I'm pretty sure that is their dry filter, the same one pictured by EvolvedGTI.
