Ps: That was total net. sarcasm. You wont notice a difference with the filter except maybe better mpg. Performance will come from engine tuning, Aftermarket parts i.e. filters exhaust will amplify the gains from the engine tuning but will not do that much a la carte. BOV, is a complete waste of money as you are venting metered air(also can cause cels). If you want to hear it, buy or make an open filtered intake and you will hear plenty.

If you get the k&n typhoon intake system for about $200 you will kill two birds with one stone. It will give you a performance air intake, and you will hear your turbo build and dump boost about 50times more. Blow off valves are a waste of money and cause cels and actually worse performance because they dump everything to the atmosphere. With the k&n intake you can hear your turbo spool and a very loud woosh when it dumps. Many of my friends thought I got a BOV but I told them it was from the intake and they were very impressed

We've had good luck with the K&N filters, and have some customers that prefer our dry panel filters. Both work fine and perform the same.
For the BOV you want the Forge to have the best.

I installed a panel K&N filter on my R56 S. Performance wise, not much. Hardly notice. Fun factor wise, yes. I can now hear the turbo sucking air in and a louder boost dump sound from the stock BOV. But I want it even louder, so I recently ordered the 69 Typhoon intake. It should sound even better and more fun. Don't waste money on panel filter, go straight to Typhoon.

K&N drop in panel filters won't do anything for performance or mileage. I've tried them in 3 different vehicles and never noticed anything except they are expensive. Just stick with the paper filters. I have the JCW tuning kit in mine and the cone filter that comes in the kit does make it sound pretty sweet.

I have the K&N panel filter, it doesn't seem to add any performance but I do like the extra sounds! The BOV is definitely more audible now. I do seem to get pretty good gas mileage but since I bought it used and installed the panel filter like 2 days after, I never really got to compare gas mileage.

Why not use the CRC MAF cleaner?
Ya know, the right stuff for the job...
Brake clean can damage plastics and rubber parts. Especially on film type MAF sensors (versus the older hot wire designs).
I prefer paper filters. Oiled filters will gum on MAFs even when the filters are oiled to spec. (Which in turn also need to be cleaned with MAF cleaner).
The biggest gain from air boxes are the better sound... Which translates into a "it's louder, so it must be faster" mentality.
