AFE and K&N
I read this multiple times to stay away from an oil based K&N filter. From what I understand the oil from the filter can collect on the turbo vane making it off balance and causing turbo issues later on.
If this is true then why do people have NO problem with the AFE filter setup which also has an oil based air filter?

I'm running a S&B and no problems... IMO k&n filter media is to thin and allows dirt through. You can do a search and see others who have switched... or go to the S&B site and see the ISO testing they have done.

What is said above about the K&N being thin (how they achieve their airflow) is true. I avoid K&N because of the dirt they let by; not because of the oil.
