I've instrumented the stock turbo air box and the stock filter cartridge isn't the air restriction.
I got over 4" Hg restriction at the elbow before the amm above 4K rpm (ok, 17-18 psi boost) without an air filter element, same WITH a clean stock saab element. I'm just not that into the K&N religion and they're just a real pain to clean, having to let them dry, etc. I'll use an amsoil foam cleaner (easy to clean and mostly dry with paper towels, then reoil, or just keep a spare on hand, I guess you could do that with a K&N) but why bother with a K&N, just for the hype.
Unless you straighten out/replace the stock turbo air can, just use the stock paper air filter and change it every 30K.
