LOL!

the Green filters can be ordered with a refurb kit (£11.75) from all good retailers .. This helps to keep the flow rate up

This is a "Blue" Green



In all honesty, not worth swapping if you already have a "Green" Green (but don't let me stop you ).. but worthy of consideration if running the red paper effort.

The filter material here is to our own spec and is somewhere between the road "green" and their Group A material in terms of flow and filtration. If you want to get hugely technical, a quick mail to TSLRichard@aol.com can have precise flow figures for this appearing in your incoming mail.

Hope that helps

Cheers

paul

Just tried to buy an ITG air filter from Scoobysport but they don’t stock them anymore. They now stock the green cotton air filter.

I have only heard good things about the ITG filters, are the green cotton filters as good?

The ITG is an excellent filter

the Green flows marginally more.. and is a little less oily.

There is also a "blue" Green subaru specific filter available

Cheers

to be honest the gains over the standard fiter are not that noticeable or is it just me ?

The HKS on the other hand made changes not that good out weighed the bad

more turbo lag running lean but mid range was neck snapping, just that your engine would have gone bang after a while,

have no experience of the ITG but for £60 its hardly worth worrying about,

That blue one is the one I just got sent from TSL. If you get one, you will find you have to trim all the little rubber tabs off. They are designed to be trimmed. Just a bit of extra work.
