The majority of aftermarket intake filters are actually worse at filtering out dust and foreign material than the OEM filters. There are, of course, exceptions to this but they're somewhat rare. Also a CAI will move the filter more into the available airflow, whereas behind the headlight inside the engine bay you kind of have a passive barricade formed by the front of the vehicle to help keep the debris from ever reaching the filter.
Aforementioned debris will start to pit and micro-sand the blades on the compressor wheel in the turbo, similar to how a dust storm will strip paint and finish off of cars and metal.

Got my TS chip in today, immediate difference in power and shift points. I'm taking a trip up to Windham NY this friday so I'm hoping to see a difference in fuel mileage.
Am I the only person who doesn't put more than $50 diesel in the tank unless I'm going on a trip?? I like to think that tactic saves on weight and thus increasing my fuel mileage around town haha

I got stock, high idle, 65 daily, 65 tow, 80 performance, and 100 performance. My buddies ripping me a new one for not getting the smoke tune...I looked at it as a wasted tune cause I would only use it in front of him haha
So far Ive only used the 65 daily and like I said in a previous post theres an IMMEDIATE difference in acceleration and shift points, I'm going to leave it in this tune for a couple weeks to get a good feel for fuel economy with it. Ill keep you posted.

Just a quick update, I took a trip up to Windham NY yesterday to do some snowboarding, had the truck on the 65 daily tune, drove up and back, logged 438 miles and the fuel needle is a little under half a tank. Pretty good fuel mileage with such a heavy truck and 4 grown adults and gear.
