    I know it's not necessary, just an oddity I didn't expect to see in the instructions. Never heard of anyone running one before

    Is it actually useful in determining when the filter is dirty enough to be changed or cleaned?

    with the K&N it never moved a millimeter even after it was quite dirty.
    i put a WiX filter in a few months ago and I would assume it will move as it it gets dirty?
    Dont think I would spend $$ on one.

    My airbox has the Filter Minder and they're standard on our medium duty commercial vehicles where I work. They seem pretty superfluous. I've never seen one that indicated more than a few mm of restriction on the indicator and can't imagine an air filter so dirty that it would indicate even half near maximum restriction on the Minder, it would need to be phenomenally restrictive and you'd probably recognize an incredible reduction in performance from an engine. For a consumer vehicle, they're just a visual farkle (eye candy). They probably have a useful application in a very dirty, dusty environment, like having shovels of dirt or a hibernating bear cub packed into your airbox.

    Sweet. Curious to hear how effective they are once you get it all put together.

    I recall someone told me they are useful when engine is under load, which makes it kinda hard to observe.

    On the plus side, I found a good supercharger for us to upgrade to.

    Added money to it.
    Would this affect the heat exchanger at all? Like if the coolant circulates at a lower temperature maybe the radiator radiates less heat to the HX? I know the HX is in front of the radiator but I wonder if it has an impact.

    In theory, possible, in practice, I can't tell.

    for the heat exchanger, I'm going this route, since I tow often and will go on a long summer road trip.

    I'm pretty sure "the guy" he is referring to is @ViktorG. That looks like the same kit he's running or was at one point.

    Same here. And that's the first time I've seen it installed. Now I'm wondering what I'll need to modify so the 20 row Setrab trans cooler and the FB intercooler all fit up there

    Ya, I wonder if I can get a bracket made to have it to the other side instead of the center.
