Strange. I seem to be answering you all the time

There is a direct trade-off between filtering efficiency and airflow. Check the planetsoarer web site (full version) for an analysis but there are others on the web.

My personal opinion would be to stick with a Toyota standard filter.

Show us more about your car. You have a supercharger, but what are your other intake and exhaust modifications?

well my uncle, nole brown, took it to neil and he supercharged it. near the air intake has been cut out and a panel has been placed over it so that more air can flow in and gather all the air building up behind the kit. its had the headers and a 2.5" system stuck on, thats all i really know off the top of my head

lol, nah not into stickers, i like the clean look, thats why i have no wing and all that stuff. prefer the nice clean V8 noise with a clean looking car.

david i haven't yet had it on a dyno but i'm looking at a few things like a 1.5 shift kit from mike and then look at it. i'm interested myself to cause it surprises me all the time how she just gets up and goes. beat a TT the other day i was proud about that lol, standing start too

According to PlanetSoarer it's better to stick with the Toyota filter and just replace it every so often (every 10,000K's).
You'll get the same flow and better filtering than K&N.
