A good air filter setup for a 6.9 IDI with turbo

[6 Nebraska IDIs]

Nice work Aaron. What kind of filter are you running in that box?

I have to pull the airfilter housing back out and see what the #'s are for the filters.

There is an outer and an inner filter. The outer is a fleetgaurd paper filter and the inner is a cloth or cotton filter. I bought a new outer filter and washed the inner filter and applied some filter oil to it, not too much though.

Should get some time next week to do some bondo and paint work on the filter canister. I had to cut a section out of the canister that was dented in and replace that with a good patch of metal. May have been more work than it was worth but I like work.

The truck runs much better and almost all the smoke is gone. I struggle to see any smoke at all. Thats good I guess but now I want a little more power so after I get a pyrometer I will turn the pump up a bit.

The turbo spools much sooner and more easily. I know it is getting all the air it needs now.
