This is great info. I saw another test like this with similar results on the Deisel Stop. But the also tested the new Progaurd 7 and it did much better. If I can locate it I will post it.

I'm with CHP on this....
given the number of Warranty repairs voided due to "dusted" turbos, etc...
I'M not putting anything but a Ford filter on mine....
here's the -oh versions write up:

not giving them ANY excuses....
yeah, yeah, I know, Magnumm-Moss and all that....
but if they say $1000 for a turbo or $15000 for an engine....
I am out THAT money and all my attorney fees for the length of time it takes me to sue them.....
and I don't have that much time normoney - personally

2003 6.0L 4x4 Limited Ex - traded in (BooHoo )

To play devil's advocate, when does the law of diminishing returns come into play? Certainly it's nice to filter out every possible particle, but at what point are you sacrificing power? I wish they would have also dyno'd a test vehicle with each of the filters to see what effect (if any) the filters had on performance. There's probably a happy medium in there somewhere.

For the best of both worlds as far as filtration and performance have to meet I think the AFE ProGuard7 was the choice.
The Tymar filter has proven to be a worthy competitor in the ring as well.
