Hi,
first off, I would not install tha BMC panel filter on a turbo diesel engine if I were you. After several tests, It resulted even harmful for the engine's optimum performance. In a nutshell, It doesn't give the same benefits as per a gasoline engine. Diesel engines already burn a rich air/fuel mix, therefore such an air filter in not necessary. Gasoline engines, on the contrary, sometimes need to enrich the Air Fuel Ratio. That's the reason why those air filters might be useful. But therte and then you might probably need to chip the car, chenge the manifold and so on and so forth...
Again, sell it back because it wouldn't do any good to performance and fuel consumption...
