    Default Air filter question.

    Hi all, bit of a noob question for you-

    Is it ok for me to use a filter which is a different shape to the original?

    I have a Cpe CAI which has a long air filter on it at the moment, its a bit old now so I ordered a new one which looked roughly the same dimensions on the net but when it arrived the actual filter element is a bit wider and quite a bit shorter than the original one.

    Want to check with ppl who know what they are doing before I go ahead and put the new filter on the car.

    Thanks

    You probably wouldnt want something with a smaller surface area, though really it doesn't matter as long as it fits correctly

    If you are stock turbo, then fit is the most important thing.

    Even a shorter but wider filter is likely to be more than large enough for the flow requirements of a K04.
