ok here you go, for all those of you that are running these mushroom hks type air filters, 'youll love this':lol:
ive seen 2 different cars that ive worked on, with boost problems, which turned out was caused through these filters!
in both occasions the filter element had eroded due to water rotting it. then you end up with big chunks of it that break away that get sucked and wedged in your turbo and induction system, and funnily enough there nearlly always the green elements.
as your all well aware this is not good for your engine, and will severely restrict power with tiny bits of foam blocking intercoolers and anything else with a small bore:lol:
so imo these style of filters arent worth jack sh1t, if you do have one because you like the look of it, then keep a regular check on it 'and that means remove it' and check the underside, as this is where water will be drawn too and where bits will start to break off and rot (like an exhaust they rot from the inside out;-)
i personally think that the blitz gauze filters are the best, and maintenance free (other than an airline blow through)
on a gtir especially, 'due to filter location' foam element types are not much use as the element sits right under vent where all the rain pours in when your driving along which gets absorbed! and in turn this will pull a lot of moisture through your induction system
so you can shove em up your jacksies:lol: :lol:
