What difference will I notice if I install a K&N free-flow air filter in my 90bhp TDI Audi?

Thanks !

You'll notice a savings in your pocket book as you simply wash the K&N instead of tossing it and buying a new one...
You'd need an engine dyno to see any power difference.

A3, I installed the K&N in my 95 Neon, and there's NO visible difference. I thought I'd get more power and/or better fuel economy, but there's none. As tak said, maybe there's a difference of 1HP on the dyno, but I'd save my money...

Because it's a company car and I don't have to pay for maintenance. :) I'd buy it if there was a little power improvement. BTW, it's a diesel engine, won't it benefit more from a free-flow airfilter than a normal engine?
