Welcone to the forum.

I don't know the answer to your question, but someone who does might come along soon.

And, expect to get some responses that say that performance filters on an otherwise-unmodified car will make no difference whatsoever (other than perhaps more engine intake noise).

Personally, I never heard of SPRINT performance filters, though BMC have a good reputation, BMC High Performance Air Filters.

Also, interesting discussion on this VW forum: VWVortex.com - BMC vs. K&N Filter Comparison .

Hope this helps.

I once read diesels don't really like alot of air and work better with grubby air filters.??

Performance marketing !

A used filter has barely any flow loss but filters even better due to any larger pores in the structure being blocked .
