SENDING BACK THE BLITZ SUS INDUCTION KIT DUE TO SEVERE POWER LOSS PROBLEMS, SO WHICH FILTER SHOULD I GET? IT SEEMS THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE OPTING FOR PANEL FILTERS DUE TO MAF SENSOR PROBLEMS WITH CONE STYLE FILTERS.

 

I am in the same market!! I need a panel filter. Options, K&N, STI, Green? also for STI V5

 

I've got a Power Engineering induction kit ( basically K&N ) on my sti4, been on 2months, no problems so far.

 

I went for STi p/filter for MAF reasons. Very happy so far

agree with Pete, i've used An STi panel filter for the last 6 months and everything is fine.

The only prob. now is that i have a Front Mount Intercooler fitted - so i've had to fit an induction kit.

After countless research , the most maf friendly kit would appear to be the k and n .

I've taken a couple of precautions to safeguard the maf / improve response with the induction kit :

fitted mini cold air scoop in place of std. vent above cone.
ducted a cold air supply from front bumper up to cone.
made a vertical heat shield to sit beside the cone , to try and keep as much warm air away as possible.

car is awaiting re-map at the mo ( 10th oct ) , so i haven't been able to give it a proper thrashing yet to see if everything is ok !

 

WHAT MODEL OF IMPREZA DO YOU HAVE PETE?

WHERE CAN I GET AN STI P/FILTER?

WILL MY STI NOT ALREADY HAVE ONE??

CHEERS FOR YOUR REPLIES GUYS

Does the p/filter give a noticable induction noise? The blitz sus sounded great pitty i had problems.

 

i couldn't really notice any noise improvement with the panel filter, now the k and n induction kit - that's a different matter !
