SO I JUST DID THE DIY TYMAR INTAKE ON MY TRUCK AND AS I TOOK THE TUBE TO SEE IF IT WAS TRUE ABOUT THE K&N FILTER. IF IT REALLY PASS DIRT, AND I FOUND SOME ON THE TUBING FROM THE TURBO TO THE AIR COOLER. THAT SUCKS! DANG I HOPE IT WASNT TOO LATE!I MADE SURE TO CLEAN THE TUBING. DONT DO THE K&N FILTER BESIDES WHO DOESNT WANT TO HEAR THERE TURBO SREAM!:burnout

Well you learned a lesson that I learned a while back. Did you look at your turbo wheel. Was there any damage.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully there's no serious dusting. I ran a K&N filter for a long time, but I was lucky. I finally changed it out for an Amsoil air induction replacement filter, and I saw no signs of dusting on the turbo wheel then. Good luck.

WELL THE WHEEL ON THE TURBO LOOKS GOOD! AND I RAN THE K&N FOR ABOUT 7 MONTHS. SO I HOPE THAT IM OKAY.

You should be fine. I ran one for about 1.5 years and then I found holes in it. The holes were about the size of a 25cent piece. I contacted K&N they did warranty it under there 1,000,000 mile warranty overnighted a new one to me. Which I used for a short time till I got my filter from napa. Now I am looking at getting a dry reusable filter from aem or another similar company.

No Problem Yet and Turbo Sings!!! But Gotta Look Now!!

Is this a problem with all oiled filters, or just k&n? just curious cause I have an AFE filter.

From my understanding it really is just K&N.

[lizardj1986]

YEAH I AGREE. IT JUST LETS ALL THE DIRT IN THE SYSTEM. WITH THE RESOLT OF DUSTING THE ENGINE.

If you want the best filtration go with the Ford AIS intake, nothing will filter better. My UOA's prove it works.
Friends don't let friends install K&N's.
