I wouldnt trust the technical claims of anyone thats trying to sell me something.
The cotton/foam mesh thats used as a filtration element on those things just isnt as good as paper, and thats why you have to keep them earled - Playing w/ fire on a turbo'd car, IMO. I also think the saving money by having a 'lifetime' filter is crap, a paper filter costs what, $10 or $15? A foam filter will cost 3-4x that much, plus the cleaning kits...
