Default K&N Induction Kit on a MY99/00

Just looking for some feedback on people who have fitted these to their 99/00 Classic Turbos.

I have read all the reports that seem to dismiss induction kits etc....just wanted views from people who have fitted them

Anyone ?

the MAF on these years is particularly sensitive and prone to fail. i would steer clear of any induction kit. the panel sti filter may be an improvement over standard and may be worth a punt.

As above really - Noticed a loss in power due to the intake of warm air.
Only really any good if you enclose it in a box with a cold air feed to it.
Makes it SOUND faster LOL!
Replaced it with a K&N panel filter due to concerns about MAF and DET.
Standard airbox is good to around 350 bhp, so I'm told

Stick to a panel filter K&N, Green or STI
Avoid ITG due to oil contamination issues.

Regards

K&n 57i here. Had a new maf but i think that was age rather than filter which caused the failure. Had no issues for 18 months

GGR K&N big cone kit, no MAF issues (old MAF replaced at time of fitting ~15000miles ago). Gained 10-15lbft torque over 5000rpm on a maxed out td04. not boxed off.
