Its also a fact that a turbodiesel has far more air than it needs. Hence the wastegate on the turbo. The stock air cleaner and filter can flow far more air than needed. This is the exact reason a K&N is pointless. MB did know what they were doing when they engineered the air intake, believe it or not.
