K & N air intakes
Alright guys, so last year I bought a k&n intake thinking it was going to be a great mod for my truck... wrong. 6 months ago I went to replace my turbo and was astonished at what I discovered. My intake tube was covered in dust and "soot" and my turbo was ruined... Was my turbo ruined because of the intake? Not sure. I have noticed a lot of threads about intakes and just wanted to put in my 2 cents. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had this problem. 6637 for sure.

A K&N is an oil based filter, without proper maintenance (keeping it wet) they let alot of debris threw. Dry filters are defiantly the way to go...

Typical of cleanable filters...get a Tymar or do the DIY correctly.

"Properly Maintained" or not, any Oil & Gauze filter will let too much dirt into your engine...

Just curious, how many miles did you drive since you went with the K and N and what type of conditions? Was it all regular streets or do you frequent logging roads/off road?
