Default K&N drop in air filter in my TT! Seems to help with turbo lag. My imagination?

I know MNE did G-Tech hp validation on air filters and found zero increase in HP. However, it really seems to be breathing better, and acceleration is more immediate.

Funny thing about the stock filer when it came out. Only 2/3 of it was dirty. The one end was much cleaner, as if they overengineered the size or something. Wasn't too dirty in 7100 miles, though. Very clean compared to my last two Toyotas at comparable mileage, and it is very dusty in Florida.

Whaddya think?

I noticed smoother acceleration as well. Maybe my imagination or placebo effect after paying $80.

Default Better HP : no, because the Waste Gate opens at the same pressure but better response : yes because.

... the pressure changes are FASTER because of easier air flow
