Apart from that, a transparent : air filter will inevitable shorten the life of the engine, this is not : of much concern for racing people. Does it? I've been told (admittedly, by folks selling them) that the K&N filters both breathe better, *and* do a better job of filtering than the stock paper air filters. Regarding flow through filters, with a turbo, I would think that turbo spin-up time (lag) would be affected by this; once it reaches maximum boost, the wastegate limits you, but this is about throttle responsiveness. I'm quite willing to be contradicted by someone who knows directly about these things, though. Dave "Hey, isn't that last sentence some sort of Usenet first?" Hinz
