for some cases .. it may reduced the pick up from 0 speed (even worse for i-kit).. and lucky from my 1.4 16V 100ps, the K&N filter are giving out better performance all the way. (but it cost about 10% more fuel)

OK, dumb question time, why is it bad to be drawing in hot air through an air filter?

all engines like cold air, to be compressed with fuel in the chambers. hot air is less dense and gives out less power as a result.

Attention to panel filters on TDI´s (I don´t know with other motors...)

The excess of oil in the filter will damage the MAF sensor, so caution oiling the filters...

This little piece (Bosch or Pierburg) it´s between the air box and the motor and it´s expensive...

The gains of a panel filter are very small and it doesn´t compensate the risks and the maintenance, in my opinion.

Cheers
