I know it's probably been done to death, but as search is down here goes.

I currently have an ITG panel filter fitted. I'm looking to increase cold air flow safely, limiting the chance of damage to the MAF sensor. So far considered HKS Racing Suction, Blitz SUS and APS Cold Air Kit.

I realise there will be may opinions, but I will welcome all comments.

I would reply for you Simon, but I was leaving it open for some non biased advice!

Thanks Jamie

Email me off line then, and I will see if I get any other advice.

APS Cold air kit is by far the most expensive but IMHO the best, or if money is an issue go for the K&N 57i

 

thanks

 

I wouldn't go for the HKS....

 

why not matt? I've got the HKS 'green mushroom' kit on the blackbeast and it's fine. Though it is a MY94 and I think later cars have slightly different MAF (wire or something) which does not react well to some induction kits.

 

Si,

I have looked into this thoroughly as you'd expect and I have the above mentioned APS cool air kit on order as well as a APS front mount

Kind regards

Chris

 

I ought to give you a call realy Chris, now I'm a customer

I have been looking at a FMIC as well, and looking at a more efficient filter / induction kit. From what I have seen and heard, the APS does look a decent bit of kit.

This should then compliment the MoTec I have had fitted; perhaps I should have really done things the other way round, but I'll get there in the end.

keep the replies coming guys - all appreciated.

Edited to ask Chris where he got his APS from and roughly how much.

Markus,

Should have quantified that, if you've got an MY98> then steer clear. MAF contamination is a problem with these on the film type MAF's

Matt

 

P.S. If I was going for a pod, I would get the APS no question!!!!

Matt

 

Just to add that it will be fitted to a P1

Si

 

APS gets my vote

mikee

 

Si....

A "scooby" friend of well known proportions is actually purchasing direct 2 each of the said items....me as usual said YES PLEASE SIR.....so until it lands and I've paids my money I don't rightly know....you know what I'm like

I'm down at Scoobymania next Friday am then over to TSL in the afternoon for a geometry re-set

 

If you don't want it, then perhaps I might

Will try and catch up with you next week when you're in Nottingham

APS cool air kit is very good.

It's K&N 57i is considered MAF safe.
Cool air from the wing also makes a big difference.
Remember to block off the remaining holes back into the engine bay from the wing for maximum effect.
APS kit also holds MAF very steady since assembly is bolted to the wing - no flimsy brackets.

The downside (not a big one) is that you can't use it in conjuction with a large intake pipe (MAF to Turbo) without some buggering around.

Markus,Just to let you know that the car that this happened on had another MAF go this weekend just to back this statement up.....

Matt.

 

I've got a Blitz Air filter for my UK 97 Turbo wagon. Is this going to ruin my MAF?

PS What the hell does MAF stand for? Is the air meter? Are these of the hot wire variety?

Cheers,

Rob

 

MAF sensor = Mass Air Flow sensor.... or AFM = Air Flow Meter..

something like that... i have a blitz SUS induction kit on my MY95 wrx and no probs so far.... its sucking in to much hot air thought...... the newer MAF sensors are the ones that have problems with induction kits.... i think..!
