How Bad is it to not have a Gas Filter in-Line of the MAP Sensor?

Short term, shouldn't be any problems. Long term, I'd get one - oil and crap could foul the map sensor out. A good used one should be CRAZY easy and cheap to find.

Would one of these work as a filter for a boost controller like the profec? Cus mine is really dirty and its not listed anymore on greddy's website.

sorry to stir this up.
but is a check valve and gas filter different? common sense says yes, but there is an arrow on the gas filter. Woud a check valve not be able to stop oil's?
reason why I'm asking is, I blew into mine and it goes both ways even though theres an arrow on it - so I'm looking for a replacement and figured when I go to the auto store I would like to know this information before hand.

I saw the arrow and it really made me wonder... cause I know the function of the MAP sensor... so it didnt make sense to me. I figured previous owner switched mine with a factory check valve(maybe why my boost hits 2psi and vacuum isnt consistant).
when I took mine off it blows out both ways and rattles something inside of it (guessed it was broken). The arrow is on there so I checked my manual and figured someone on the boards would know.
