Hello everyone, I'm curious to know if anyone had done something in the way of replacing the old banks turbo air filter box with something else? Other than just slapping a cone filter on.
It looks nice, but it covers the whole top of the engine, is rather cumbersome to remove to work on things, and worst of all, you have to unscrew 8 dang bolts just to check the air filter! Not to mention fighting the lid back on just right without crushing the air filter... Of which k&n is the only option as it's custom made for this kit. While it allows more air flow, id rather a filter that stops more dust.
