I guess 11k+ miles can really clog up the air filter. My turbo spins a lot more freely now. She is noticeably louder now. I guess I might have to visit the drag strip tomorrow just to hear her scream.

Hmmm, so every 10K miles, the filter is so dirty that changing it causes the car to sound different, and the turbo to spool quicker? That doesn't sound good to me. Plus, it's a PITA thing to change it/clean it. Are you sure this isn't a case of "I changed my oil, or waxed my car, and now it's faster" ? Because you didn't mention how the new filter looked in comparison to the old. And, why didn't you just clean it?

I think we need more info on this. Is the filter really that prone to getting dirty? If so, can anything be done to help alleviate this?
