Hey guys when changing out the boots, I noticed a really light film of dust on the inside of the boots....this doesn't seem normal...turbo has no dust on it at all......I'm using a AEM intake...what gives before I get and amsoil filter...

 

I noticed the same thing on my truck after a long 4-wheelin' weekend. I changed the K&N out for an Amsoil w/a prefilter. If I go on a long wheelin' trip again up in that area (Mammoth Lakes, Ca), I might pop the factory set up on.

 

No problems at all with the AFE....

 

I'm thinking the AEM is not great at stopping superfine particles of dust like the oiled filters....

 

it is pretty good at stopping air molecules though!

 

I had a slight amount of dust with my stock air box/filter. Put in an Amsoil drop-in, problem resolved. I now have an aftermarket setup, using an Amsoil nano and an Outerwears pre-filter, no dust anywhere.
