Why don't you just give them a decent clean?

May aswell just use the OEM filters and change them every 6months.

You'll see the same "performance" benefit....

That I would say is debatable. Using both from new is clearly not going to produce the same benefit, a high air flow filter will let more air in from the start, which lets face it, on a 4.2ltr na lump crammed into a small space, is a good thing. Unless I have misunderstood your comment?

Exactly, I'd say the gains are even less on the B8 compared against the B7. Audi have maximised this production cycle of engine now, which is re-affirmed when MRC can only get around a 14 bhp increase from remap & filters.
