I'm assuming you get a lot more turbo noise during regular driving?

Did it change how the car ran/acted at all? Any fuel economy changes, CELs, etc?

So overall, it shouldn't do much either way, aside from make a little more noise.

I like noise. My wife probably won't care much, but who knows, she loves telling people she has a diesel and seeing the confused look on their faces.

And yeah, it does make that noise, but oh so quietly, with the stock airbox. Hearing it more would be neat, assuming it's not detrimental to the vehicle's performance/fuel economy. Obviously, the stock air box isn't exactly restrictive to begin with.

Shouldn't they cover it under warranty?

Ultimately, is it (the intake) something you'd do again?

Well the theory is that it seals to the hood and pulls in cold air - but in reality, it likely still pulls in warmer engine-bay air. Which, actually is likely to help fuel economy, slightly.

Got it yesterday. Thanks again, sir!

Also - I didn't see any issues with the Amsoil filter, looks plenty good to use to me! And how is everything so clean - it's quite nice!

Hmm, didn't see any issues inside the filter, but I'll have another look - give it is inside the filter, I'm not too worried about it.

And okay, cool - I was going to ask if you had done that or not. Usually it's just a very rough precaution, but I know our cars are super pissy about **** near everything.
