Is this something I should be concerned about? Will it shear off?Stock 05 BA MkII Ute, K&N , no BOV, no centre muffler, 59000 kmsthanks..By truongski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not very clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a read of this:http://www.aa1car.com/library/turbo_repair.htm"If the compressor blades are badly eroded, unfiltered air has been entering the intake system. Check for a missing, torn or poor fitting air filter." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are basically sandblasting that leading edge, but still shouldnt happen with a K&N. I use one where alot of sand accumulates on the a K&N pod an no real issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
