How often would you clean the MAF if you run a K&N oiled filter element? To me it seems that each time I dismantle the MAF and the filter box, the mesh is dirty with a thin film of oil that makes it black.

Throw the K&N away if its making the MAF that dirty - go with a foam filter or just run a dry K&N. Paper filters provide maximum protection and their performance isn't that bad when they are clean.

Agreed. Besides, Audi is known for having very efficient airboxes...paper all the way or no filter at all!Originally posted by S2central.net

A waist of money than it was. For the price I could have bought about 8 stock elements....and replace it every 6 months or so...Originally posted by NoNonsenseAgreed. Besides, Audi is known for having very efficient airboxes...paper all the way or no filter at all!

Yeah thats an ideal solution alright - but it wouldn't work in the S2 engine room.
Also - Why put an air filter on a dump valve ? D'OhPaul Nugent
