Checked K&N filter today. Have filter for sale!

I can't tell you much about EGT's yet because I am gauge inpaired at this time.

I also never used a K&N in the stock box so I can't help much there either.

I can tell you that the turbo does spool up faster than a stock filter in an unmodified air box. The seal is completely airtight. I check mine regularly. I did not notice any fuel mileage differences with the new filter.

If you do get the RE-0880 filter I would get the prefilter that goes with it.

Bug Out here are some EGT reading I got late last summer... .

EGT test using different air filters and configurations hauling cattle up a 5 ½ % grade 5. 6 miles long, two cows at a time. Tried to visually load cows so that the weight was the same. Outside temp (o/s) taken off in cab gauge. Cruise set at 65 MPH in 5th. EGT reading at the top of grade.

W/ stock housing and new paper filter (Fram) o/s 74 Deg EGT 1200+
with about one mile left had to kick the cruise off, down shift to 4th, and slow to 60 MPH to keep the EGT under 1200.

W/ stock housing and K&N filter o/s 78 Deg EGT 1100

W/ Open RE-0880 K&N filter o/s 80 Deg EGT 1050

W/ Psycotty housing w/ insulation tape and RE-0880 filter o/s 84 Deg EGT 900 - 925

There is also a big seat of the pants difference between the paper filter and a K&N in the Psychotty housing. The engine just feels freer to run with the bigger filter and the Psychotty housing.
