WHICH FILTER- STI V5??
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.

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 !
