We are not trying to be a hard ass about this to you, BUT you must under stand the damage that can happen.
Not having a filter on your motor, your motor sucks in sand,dirt,bugs and rain this stuff goes though the turbo into the inter-cooler plugging it up and if the crap gets pass that it gets sucks into the cylinder of your motor and rips up the cylinder walls making your motor burn oil and loose compression. On top of that the crap that gets pass the cylinder walls and piston rings ends up in your oil, blows the seals in your hpop then gets pumped in to the injector which gums up.

You see funny cars run with no air filters but they rebuild there motors almost every pass.

You need to go ask your boss if your motor goes south and is trashed will he pay out of his pocket to have a new motor put in. If he says yes then get it in writing.

Just because your boss is a champ is some racing circuit doesn't make him an expert
in this area.

If you take your truck to a repair shop/dealership to get it checked out and they see NO air
filter system in your truck, they will laugh you out of the store and tell you to get your boss to fix it.

well yeah i don't know any guys that have trucks that they only pull with that run air filters.... they are only goin 330 foot at the most.. that doesn't mean that the truck they use to pull their pulling truck to the competition doesn't have an air filter too.... I can't believe we are still talking about this?
