Get rid of the stock airbox and K&N Air filter, and slam in a BHAF or AFE Stage II or Scotty II. Lots of reading on K&N through search function. Hopefully you haven't dusted engine, check turbo bearing play. Hope you have Good luck.

Agreed! - I'm going to head that way when the filter gets tired...

My 96 had that problem. The air box was not prefect and that allowed unfiltered air to seep past the filter edge.

Why wait until your $20 filter gets tired and lets more dirt into your engine?? The longer you wait for your filter to get tired the more tired your engine gets from breathing dirt.

Get the Scotty II! Great sound, Great look, Great filter! Your engine will love you for it.
