This engine does not use a high volume or high pressure pump, a small 4 cylinder probably has more flow and pressure because of the RPM's they run at.
I agree, the reason behind trying this filter is the poor ADBV in FL820S, as i experience the startup noise in most cold starts.
also I was thinking (not anymore) this Mann Filter may cause another issue (starvation on the top of engine) at start ups due to less inlet compared the the OEM filter.

well this is clear evidence, must be updated recently.

My speculation would be that it is.
I suppose if you don't trust that, use a different brand filter.
thanks for the helpful inputs
