Yes I've heard that before. A diesel engine normally gets an abundance of air to work with. Maybe if it got 100hp/liter it could benefit from another filter. That could be a test for the dynamometer when it will get the software upgrade ...

The wipers stick out a bit on my car, they don't sit under the hood but quite high on the window. That's different for every car.
