Air intake trouble !
Hi, i have SCT tuner and DPF delete kit on my 2008 F350, i have the stock airbox and a K&N filter in it, thoug i don´t floor it i get "check air filter " it´s very clean so it´s not dirt, point is i have the XTREME STREET tune in it, so the turbos are sucking in a lot of air, is there any mods that i can do to the stock airbox ?

What is the HP for that tune? I run the 210 without any issues with a GREEN drop-in filter. I also know that if I want to run the 300HP I need a new CAI

S&B, Banks or AFe seem to have pretty good results.
