K and N Filter
The cold air intake I got does use a N&K filter. When I was thinking about getting a cold air intake, I checked with the Porsche mechanic that has done work on my car. He warned about oil from the filters mucking up the sensors.
When I talked to the folks that installed the intake with the N & K filters, I tolk them that I was concerned about oil on the sensor. They said that was very rarely the problem (except for me?), that the only time they had seen a problem was when folks cleaned the filters, reoiled them and put way too much oil on them.
What is the role of the sensor on the intake? I am wondering how a malfunctioning sensor can mess up the operation of the car, or is it just an emissions sort of thing. I know just enough about this topic to be dangerous.
