Would it be possible to post the dyno charts, overlapping, with open element aircleaner VS boxed paper filter?
Even though your peak TQ went up it came on a bit later in the RPM range (3150). You put out 279 at a much lower RPM (2400) with the open filter. So the overlayed chart would show a nice comparison in you HP and TQ curves to see how much power you were producing, and within what range.
Also, was the car fully cooled with paper element in VS a run or 2 in on the dyno with the open element? In other words was the car hot with the open filter in?
I personally do not like open filters sucking up the hot air of the engine comp. I think the ideal setup would be a boxed in, hi-flow filter with hi temp plastic (not metal) tubing to the turbo.
Great #'s BTW
