Default Good cold air kit?

Hi everyone. I have a question concerning the different cold air kits. I heard that the k & n type filters aren't a good thing for turbos. Any thoughts would be appritiated.
Thanks

If you don't like the hassle of re-oiling the filter, go with a dry kit. S&B and Afe are just some popular and trusted intakes.

Ok thanks yea I've looked at both of those I like the non-oiling but just wondered if they have as much filtering capacity? I just got my truck and it is mainly stock with the exception of a bully Dog outlook tuner, and a straight pipe. I just bought an air dog for it. My next question concerning the bullydog the screen doesn't lite up anymore making it hard to read and the previous owner didn't include the hand held tuner that went with it so I have to idea what tuner was used. I called bullydog they informed me that it is obsolete and I would have to buy another. My question is what are your guys thoughts on tuners I want one that has gauges included. I've done some research on a few and like the edge w/ attitude or the smarty touch. Any thoughts/advice would be great!

AFE has been great on my truck for intake- that and then removing turbo silencer gave a nice whistle compared to stock. I would do EFI Live no doubt. I switched from EJWA and there's no comparison - for gauges purchase the CTS2 if you like the ability to change gauges. They are cheaper than a pod and more customizable!
