I stuck a 6637 over the K&N tube and clamped it down, works fine.

FWIW, I think it is just the drop in K & N filter that sucks...no pun intended. But you can't go wrong with a 6637.

I believe so, the drop in doesn't fit the stock box well and particles make its way around the seal and dust the turbo.

I had good luck with the FIPK K&N filter (replaces whole stock setup). They work if they are maintained properly. I would check the inside of the intake tube often and never could leave a mark. I just got lazy and decided to use the 6637 and a cover.
