As a matter of fact I have been deeper inside last year I pulled the turbo and changed the pedestal o rings and everything looked new matter of fact while I had it off a had a diesel shop check the turbo just to see while I had it out if I needed to rebuild it. We actually run a k an n on our tug boats and have been running them for ten years now and I am the port captian of our boats I do all the matinance and mechanic work and I have yet to see a bad turbo but to each his own I tend to be very meticulous about my truck I change the oil once a month and the tranny fluid every third oil change and clean the filter every month but I do believe in the wrong hands and environment dusting can happen

Do your tug boats deal with dust and dirt all the time? And spectre is worse than k&n there is a reason they are cheaper. But whatever I guess you are the expert on them since you're the one that wasted money on it, hell what do i know about a 7.3 or any diesel for that matter.

Yea we deal with dust allot I'm not condoning spectre I was just stating that I ran them for along time with no bad results. I didn't want to start a argument I was just saying with the proper matinance they work well at least for me

I just put a 6637 filter in place of the old spectre that came on my truck. And the 6637 clearly flows more.. Truck dosnt smoke when I floor it in o/d any more and the turbo spools a lot quicker.. But you can't hear the turbo as well.
