What would be the best induction kit for a MY00 Turbo?

looking for performance increase, but dont want to kill my engine....

There are lots on the market, but if your still running the original MAF sensor in the car, the general opinion seems to be that K+N 57i induction kit is the one to go for. Good performance, and appears to have the least chance of damaging your engine.

HKS BY A MILE

 

GGR do a MAF friendly induction kit for MY99-00.

Check out GGS036.

TBH the best option is a good replacement panel filter.

You won't get much of a performance increase in this area, with a turbocharged car the gains are made elsewhere, and the induction side merely has to avoid becoming a bottleneck.

The induction kits that provide an apparent performance boost tend to do so by fooling the airflow meter and leaning off the mixture, which makes the car a bit quicker, but can cause dangerous cylinder heating/det.

The standard MY00 induction tract isn't overly restrictive, and thus the best all-round option is simply bunging in a good panel filter like the STi, K&N or Green products.

 

I take it the same go's for a MY03 aswell Greasemonkey?

 

Cant argue with greasemonkey, especially not on Scoob's.

Panel filter it is then.

 

Cheers grease monkey....

next question

panel filter??

GREEN, K&N, ITG, or STI??

It applies even moreso to the new age cars Jasoon, as it has the extended inlet that gathers cold, fresh air direct from the upper air intake. Thus, there's even less reason why you'd want to stick a cone on it.

Edited to say, Jamie, pick any three of the four you mentioned and you should be fine. The only one I'd rule out is the ITG, on the grounds that its design makes it prone to losing the "gunk" it is laced with. This gunk has been known to settle on and contaminate the MAF sensor, making the other three safer options.

 

Or try Blitz air filters -

Blitz Sonic Power Filter @ £324.99 inc VAT

Blitz SUS Power air filter @ a slightly cheaper alternative of £177.99 inc VAT

 

Lol! Bullsh*t certainly does baffle brains. If this conical stainless steel shield is intended to prevent engine heat getting into the intake, what's with that big hole in the front of it? Won't all the heat go in there instead?!

325 quid for that? Could get the same effect with an old teapot and a saw!

 

Can the MAF be removed with a re-map or are there lots of other issues to considder with the MAF, how important is it ??

 

You can remove the MAF sensor if you move over to a MAP based ECU like a GEMS, Link, MoTeC etc. Think John Banks has done a bit of research on simulating MAF values via an input from the MAP sensor, but barring something like that, on a Subaru ECU, the MAF sensor (and a properly reading one) is essential.

 

I think ill go with Greasemonkey's advise and get a good panel filter
