Well e-x-c-u-s-e ME!
I have an S&B, I just put in a new filter when it looks dirty, but I guess that's not a decent enough answer for some people eh?

danny

Then your air intake system is too restrictive for that filter minder and you are pulling a lot of vacuum when you stomp on it.

It should be known that filter minders come with different calibrations. The one that was put on at the dodge factory isnt going to read right in an twin turbo setup because it wasnt calibrated for that system. Filter minders are not a universal type thing where you buy one and it works on every vehicle out there.

I can also tell you that International tells you not to even touch an air filter unless the filter minder is reading a high restriction.
