Chris, am I right in thinking that other than a nice meaty sound a free flow filter is of no benefit performance wise to a Turbo diesel. In that a Td is not governed by air flow in the same way as a petrol. |

that is a reasonable assumption to make Bridges yes.
Diesels run lean all the time, the fuel injected is what makes the power, opposite on a petrol to an extent.
Of course there is a point where theres not enough air for the fuel injected! |
