Motoxman -
All you need to do is get a piece of 4'' pipe , about a inch wide , and tap a hole for the filter minder to go into. I believe someone had a pic of their setup , with this done to it.
So basically , it would go :
Filter - inch wide piece of 4'' pipe - then rubber tubin to turbo

IF, you get a ford power stroke, make SURE you get a snorkle!!!

When it rains hard I have to drive through 12" of water to get out of my driveway, and what about the boyz running water injection on their hot rod PSD's, or any diesel for that matter?
It just clears any stored codes that may, or may not, be affecting your driveability.
What will resetting the pcm do exactly?

This kind of filter has been run on diesels for years. No question you can screw things up with water, but if you're in water that deep it will get in a factory box as well. How many PSD have you seen runnibg around with snorkels. I have a direct shot from the grille of my truck to the filter (zoodad mod) and have driven through some pretty rough rain and snow at 65 mph or faster without a problem. This is just one of those mods that make the little boys nervous. If you're worried , don't do it. If you do do it and are still nervous, put it all back the way it was and blame it on some noise as others have done. No worries on my end.

These numbers were supplied by AFe after I discussed the Tymar and the possibility of them producing a filter system with a paper filter. I was told, basically, "why would AFe want to produce a system that flows less?" and received this fax from them this morning.
Don't take them as Gospel, just as you shouldn't take the numbers Tymar gives as Gospel. Of course Dale is going to hype his Tymar system, just as AFe is going to hype the Magnum Force. The truth probably lies somewhere in between... (which would still mean the AFe flows more).

I just purchased the Tymar air filter for my '99. Much less turbo lag and more responsive than the stock setup.
I recommend the open air filter system.
I don't care what Banks is doing, I don't work for any of these companys, and I'm not plugging anything.
It just works better!
Done!
