if were talking the main air filter, is this gauze only on land rover parts?? as I bought a filter last week, no gauze on it, and there was none on the one I took out, and have to say my car goes better/faster
LMAO.
That gauze is about the coarsest fibred material you can get. Its flow restriction will be nil. I mean ZERO. Its there to prevent larger debris clogging up in between the paper vanes on the main filter element. - Granted, if the filter is years old and the gauze is completely clogged with dirt then it will cause a restriction, but without the gauze, that dirt just coats the paper element anyway, so there will be no actual change in air flow.
Anyone claiming that a car goes noticeably better between a standard new filter and a new filter with the gauze removed is talking out of their hoop.

Best way to improve airflow , is to dump the egr valve and clean the intake manifold and ports out
hiya
i bought an air filter with thengauze on, emailed the manufacturer and they advised me it stops all the larger bits getting in a prolongs the life of filter, so left it on, i think it was a oem one but not from land rover, bearmach i think
but also agree the egr blanking and new crankcase bmw conversion also the small turbo filter at the back will defentely bring some power back to the engine
along with a synergy bix and it transformed my td4 engine
put a pic of mine on here with the sleeve and left it on
