Does anyone know if the stock foam filter that comes with the T78 kit should be oiled? If so where do I get the oil. It seems like this filter is letting too much crap through. I am going to order a K&N any suggestions on the best one. I wanted one with the filter in the top instead of just a cap, but they only go up to about 3.5 inches in diameter. Thanks,

Brady,
You dont oil that filter.

Jason

 

you don't oil that filter and yeah it doesn't filter very well. mine actually BROKE! i bought a K&N filter for like $40 from my local speed shop. works like a charm

 

Thanks for your replies guys. I noticed that the filter was not working very well when I took off the elbow that attaches to the turbo so I could polish it. And there was dust inside the pipes. Probably shaved a few years off my engine life.
K&N here I come.

Sorry to hear that, i have stock twins and fairly brand new k&n filters, i should check to see if there is dust too.

 

I am switching to K&N. It is the Greddy foam element that is letting too much dust through. Let me know how the K&N's are working. Thanks,


Brady

 

K&N's are paper element. You use oil which does a better job of trapping crap.

 

We must trap the crap.

 

As I unpacked my T-78 kit I threw that filter in the trash!
