I was wondering if anyone knew what would be a better cold air intake for my cummins, the NAPA 2790 Gold Air Filter or a K&N kit?

 

I do not have any experience with either setup (I ran a K&N on my old gasser), but I have read a number of posts where the oiled filters are not recommended on a turbo engine. Someone with more knowledge than myself will chime in eventually.

 

i am quite new to the mod deal since i am only 18 and have had my first diesel since september of 06 when u say oiled filters which one are you talking about sorry about my lack of knowledge

 

oiled filter is something like airaid that is a system when you clean it you have to re-oil the system. The K&N system is a dry system I believe. But I maybe wrong. I ran the airraid on my gaser and am planin on runing the AFE on the diesel.

 

so what you are saying is that if k&n is a dry system it will run on my tubro and not effect it

 

yeah pretty much, i am not for sure about "oil" systems hurting the turbo. I dont see why it would. But I would for sure choose the K&N over the napa filter system. And no, that system isnt going to hurt your turbo..I have a lot of friend running it, and I also use the air filter inside my stock box.

 

alright that sounds like a plan i am just getting into this so i dont want tojust start throwing parts on and then have a truck that is messed

 

me being 17 and this being my 5th truck am still just getting starting in the building and selling. this is my first diesel and dont plan on selling this like my other hemi and jeeps. i love working on it and although i dont know everything about it. someday want to. and this has to be the best place to learn!

 

The K&N is an oiled system. From what I have read, oiled filters allow high flow but you sacrifice filtration. It appears most guys in the know are getting away from oiled filters and going with dry ones.

 

JH do u have any suggestions on a good dry system in the same price range as the k&n
