Stock 9000 air filter VS. upgraded HKS GT2530 turbo

Hi guys,
I have the '97CSE with upgraded turbo to HKS GT2530 (exactly the same as GT28RS in the US), boost at 1.0 bar. I have the 3" dp & catback system, but the stock air filter.
The only question, I just wonder if the stock Air Filter could withstand the higher flow of the HKS turbo? What is the max. flow rate of the stock 9000 air filter? I know that this HKS turbo flows about 450 cfm but no idea what is the stock filter's spec. I feel some power bottlenect at higher rpm, but not sure if it's from the filter or what... so need advice...
Would like to upgrade to K&N (either drop-in or open air) but doubt that there's alot discussion that tht K&N won't filter well, and I live in the up-country that there's still alot of gravel road, too much dust...
Any advice is welcome!
TIA,
Darrel
