I have noticed that recently my air filter doesn't sound like it sucking much air in. Could this be because the air filter is stuffed or the turbo is stuffed?

Thanks.

well lets take a look at it...

If the air cleaner was dirty it may not flow well causing a lack of suck noise...

The impeller and the housing are fixed so if the problem is originating from the turbo it would be due to some serious damage which I think you would quickly notice.

I got a new air filter today. Hopefully should fix the problem.

Thanks for you help.

Problem found. The air filter had a cut in the bottom of it. Didn't see it until i took it out. New one is in and its working beautifully.

Cheers.
