I happened to read through the recent topic about CAI's. I see that several of you guys say the K&N is no good. I've got the K&N Gen. II FIPK. It seems to have worked fine for me so far. I'll have to check for dusting. What goes into the 6637 mod, and whats the cost to convert to it? Is this one of those BIY things? If so, what do you need to build it?
K&N took a back seat to this mod!

What did you guys do with the filter minder? For my K&N it just plugged into the end of the filter.

I chunked mine in the nearest dumpster. It isn't worth keeping IMHO. Just look at your filter when you open your hood. The 6637 seems to last about a year here, or a little more. I had about 15 months on mine, but it was pretty plugged up when I changed it. Have a look:

Heres what mine looks like installed, pretty much the same as everyone elses. one thing not mentioned is the intake air temp sensor has to be moved out of the way, but you might have already taken care of that when you put the K&N in.
I really love the sound of the turbo, the first time the wife was in the truck after i put it in we were getting up to bout 60 and at the end of the acceleration it "snezed" she was like "that sounds cool" to me thats a good compliment for my truck. (she never really gets excited about trucks)

Take the intake tube off and take a gander at the compressor wheel. If the turbo is dusted the edges of the fins will literally be sand blasted and chewed up. Someone should be able to post up pics of what a dusted turbo looks like.
