Thanks to all of you for such a great forum...
I was thinking of installing a K&N air filter in my Box and then I thought, "I wonder if anyone else has done this on the forum".
Rather than post another question, I used the great search function available and found this thread.
Needless to say, I will not be going with the K&N.
Also found a great link with step by step instructions for desnorkling :
EVO Chip for 2.5L
If you haven't already, familiarize yourself with the search function.
Great resource !
Nick

And yet you still make a useless post.
hahah JUST KIDDING. I think some (like me at times) are just lazy and don't want to put in the work looking for information.
Good Job.

TriGem2k,
You know, I was going to mention that :
"Rather than post another question, ( or make another useless post like this one ), I used the great search function available and found this thread."
Looks like you beat me to the punch...
( Wait, I just made ANOTHER useless post now, didn't I ? )
Thanks,
Nick

If you absolutely have to have an air filter, BMC tends to be better than K&N from what I know.
Your car is an air pump. Open up the exhaust first, then go to the intake. Not saying a drop-in filter is best, other options are out there waiting for you to search them out. Once you've freed up both ends, you get some extra performance as well as a great new sound.
Everyone stop talking about air filters now.

Regaurdless of the myth that the k&n is the culprit in damaged MAS, I just removed the oile from the filter and used it like that without issue, I had to replace my MAS about 2 months after but it had 97k miles on it so it was due.....still no issues with the new mas................I know in previous posts I said I was removing the k&n but I never got to it, I know ill get greif for running an unoiled k&n but its no different than using a $350+ intake setup sold by our sponsers.

I've had my BMC in now for 2.5 yrs with no issues at all. It is about time to either clean it or replace it and to tell you the truth I'm just going to order a brand new one. I'd rather pay $75 for a new one than risk fouling a 300-400 dollar MAF. Hell, even the paper Porsche filters are what 30-40 bucks? I don't mind tossing the filter even though it's resusable.

+1 Adam, I agree... (I would have said just '+1', but the forum says that message is too short).

BMC Air Filter
Hi have had my BMC air filter that is part of the TTP cold air intake system on my 2.7L 2000 Boxster for about 3 months now. I have cleaned it twice since then, and it is due for another cleaning.
I have been very impressed with how much dirt, dust and such comes off the filter with each cleaning. Its pretty easy to clean, its more of a bother to get at the filter than it is to clean it, yet I would like another filter unit. Then I could just swap them out when needed.
