Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
This may be a problem and it may not but I would encourage you to pull your turbo inlet duct off and check to make sure everything is ok. I managed to bark my turbo for the first time today 
(that's a whole other story) and I yanked my inlet hose to check out the play. First thing I noticed is there seems to be alot of black dust residue on the turbine blades. Hmmm, I take a look down the inlet snorkle and there's quite a bit of white residue in there but that could be grease residue from when I had @#%^ with the grease seal on the k&n filter for the stock box. I took my inlet snorkle completly off and cleaned it thoroughly with B-12 and paper towels. While I had it off, I ran my finger around the inside lip where the BHAF snout sticks out and there seemed to be a little bit of dust there. I have had the filter in for a year but I do mostly highway driving and it actually still looks quite good. Also, I am using the pvc pipe stiffener and when I inspected the inside of the pvc pipe, instead of being perfectly smooth it has some patches that look pitted yet are smooth, almost polished looking. I don't think this is looking good. Ya'll might want to do a closer inspection and see what you see. I'm starting to wish I hadn't put the AFE filter that I won at Muncie in my wife's Ram 
possibly sucking dirt dan

BTW I have about 15,000 miles on the filter. 
. As long as my girls still think it's cool, doesn't bother me and she'll have no choice once we get the 5th wheel
