Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

you run the risk of sucking in hot air with those and i believe others might concur with me when i say you're better off avoiding those and using the OEM airbox with a different filter.

They also have this VAS (Venturi Admission System): is this intended for use with, or in place of, the above filters?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Okay, I am confused. On browsing the BMC web site for a new air filter, I was a little confused. What is the difference between BMC's simple conical filter and the twin conical filter? Any practicality or just marketing? They also have this VAS (Venturi Admission System): is this intended for use with, or in place of, the above filters? I read about the carbon fiber dynamic airbox, but I couldn't even find mention of that on their site after entering Porsche 996 available products. Is it only for turbos, 997s, or other cars? So, which of the three/four is the best to go with? Some on the forum have mentioned the BMC F1 filter, but I found no mention of this on their web site. Is this simply a nickname for one of the above? ...and yes, I searched dozens of threads for this answer, but no one addressed this issue...flame retardent :-)

hmm..i'm using the BMC F1 filter right now, no CEL problems. The other airboxes you are talking about are cone air types without sheilding. you run the risk of sucking in hot air with those and i believe others might concur with me when i say you're better off avoiding those and using the OEM airbox with a different filter. here is the link to the BMC F1 filter: http://www.bmcairfilters.com/infoOEM.asp if you really feel the need 2 modify ur airbox, try the BMC Carbon box, worst case scenario it looks nice, best case, u actually gain 1-2HP http://www.bmcairfilters.com/infoCDA.asp
