sooty air filter

Post by Ferroplasm »

I just bought this '06 turbo AT and I'm working on some preventative maintanence. I changed out the air filter last night, which was so satisfyingly easy, and I noticed that the intake side of it was black in the middle. Is this typical with turbocharged engines? I've never seen that before on my previous vehicles.
