With the Hot Film Mass Air Unit conversion ..... no oil or with oil or keep with the original paper?
 
Des,

If it is a new K&N they come pre oiled. If you clean a used filter as per instructions I believe they then need to be oiled to work correctly. I was always told that the oil can deposit on the MAF causing issues and potentially damaging the MAF etc. Mine came with one but I removed it straight away and I didn't want to run the risk.

I am sure someone with more knowledge will come along ! Good luck.
 
Silver, I told Des exactly the same as this a few days ago having removed a filter from mine when purchased.......It is not what he wants to hear.

Des, it will give you a 25%+ bhp increase (at the wheels!), further enhance your already impressive driving credentials, actually clean your MAF, optimally port your engine internals while guaranteeing you a stage win in the Porsche Club speed championship.

Hope you are happy now Des? [:D]
 
Never doubted your advice Paul, and will be taking it ..... posting hear is giving me some debate on the matter and an interesting and serious issue which I would imagine the vast majority are NOT aware. Thank you for your help yet again, I would never doubt your knowledge on anything. [:)]
 
my rs has maf since 1995 and k&n filter,never any problems

use to clean it alot when i had open airbox,standard airbox now and dyno result recently was 290 bhp, you put very little oil on them

surely standard airfilter alot more restrictive???

Keep the standard filter in place and just regularly change the paper element. The K&N part which was on my Cup when I purchased it did nothing other than increase noise levels.
