There is black dust after the filter in turbo inlet :( Im so pissed right now.. I went back to paper filter. Atleast it keeps my turbo and engine healthy.

You check&clean your "sport" air filter every two years? I hope you not...

Why dont you look up pipercross promises for service intervals that they give compared to oem.

Just keep the paper one. I feel like a broken record posting about the oe air filters. There is very little flow difference between a high flow panel and paper filter. An independent test showed a 0.9% difference from the highest flowing compared to paper. Also remember that the after market filters cannot filter out the small microns of dirt that cause engine wear. A filters job is to do exactly that. Filter the air. I ran my paper filter at stage 2+ and the car flowed more than enough air and never had any issues. Save your money and just change it every 10,000 miles

Agree with above. Waste of money stick with paper element.
