Whoever has one, who has the best deal on the filter and cleaning kit?

 

For a 996TT.

 

When I get home I will send you a link. The BMC for the turbo is the same as GT3. I think it was about $125 delivered. I wouldn't bother with the cleaning/recharge kit. You won't have to clean it for 15,000 to 20,000 miles so I recommend chucking it and buying a new one. If you do the clean route and recharge the filter with oil, be advised that if you over oil it, you will contaminate the MAF and throw a cel. It is easy to over oil them, so at least for me, when it's dirty...I will throw it out and buy a new one that is perfectly oiled from the factory. Just my two cents...

 

Thanks for your feedback Chris, I found a good price and ordered one, no charge for the cleaning kit as well.

 

I've got the BMC filter in my car and I would definately recommend rockitman's advice regarding the cleaning kit. It is too easy to over oil the filter after cleaning and the problem is that it will hit your MAF and poison it, causing it to throw codes.

Just buy a new one, on a $140K car $125 or so for a filter once per year (that's how often I change mine whether it needs it or not) is a reasonable amount.

In the early days there were many people reporting problems from the BMC and dealers grew to hate them. The problem was casued by over-oiling on cleaning.
