    Regarding air filter, I've been TOLD that our filter area is way too small for a tuned RS6. Stock power levels it's barely adequate but you ramp the boost up then the filter area is way under sized. No good solutions at this time. I use stock Mahle paper filters even with much higher power levels than stock, and would LOVE more filter area but don't want to shell a couple g's to have someone develop a real solution.

    A few have been saying this yes, but neither confirmed power levels nor real world times suggest such.
    '02 S6 Avant Silver - Pokey | Carbon Black/Ebony RS6 w/ stuff - darn quick | '03 Daytona Grey/Ebony RS6 w/ more stuff - quicker yet | '91 NSX CDN issue with 6spd & BBSC - quicker yet and then some | '87 Buick GNX OEM clone w/ lots of stuff - quickest hands down
