Be careful with K&N air filters on turbo cars. The turbo loves them and they sound awesome with a cold air intake...HOWEVER..K&N do let in more air and with that air are very very small dirt particles which dont get along with boost control valves. The small dirt particles build up over time in teh boost control solenoid and ruin it. It will cause overboosting and then eventually base boost only. At $200 a pop, I learned the hard way, to the tune of $400. EEuroparts wont even warrantee that part anymore if they know you have a K&N filter with cold air intake. I assume the K&N drop in stock size will be similar because of similiar material. I keep my K&N on my truck with dual exhaust now.
