Just wondered if anyone ever takes any notice of my comment about induction kits not working. On my car it was proven it was affecting performance.
I think sometimes people just blindly spend money on peoples ''yeah they are great'' say so.
sad oh so sad.

Perhaps a thread should be started with people justifying their comments with hard facts on the matter.

It isn't jock's grammar that infuriates me anyroad. It's his loopy opinions that he throws into serious discussions. Such as if you drive a ****e MG and ur(sic) rubbish at driving you deserve to die.

mate you have your own opinion and i except that at the end of the day
you look at most performance car's evo's,skylines they have hks kits fitted
so they can't be that bad.

So just because HKS sell loads it means they are good and actually doing something for your car does it?
Not meaning to have a go at you by the way, just what your comments represent .... Ie money from newbies expecting big gains they will never see.

MAF failure is something I am not 100% convinced of either by the way

I agree with you that panel filters are better they are well tested on here now for providing cooler intake temps than induction kits - You just have to read the "webmasters" modding thread for the proof.
i just thought it would be a good oppertunity to discuss some other effects an aftermarket induction kit can have.
I have a MY99 MAF and i'm well aware of its weaknesses especially if coupled up with an induction kit.

Scoobynet is ripe for people spending vast amounts of money after people listen to members comments. I should know I have spent £thousands on such things.
My proof is that my trust kit (like your HKS used on many jap cars) was increasing inlet temp, when it was mapped by Richard Bulmer ( i can spout names too). On his advise it was removed there and then and replaced with a green cotton filter. The inlet temp reduced by 14 degrees.
