Will there be much of a power difference?

I have a k and n panel filter at the minute, but id like the wastegate chatter/flutter and been told I need a cone filter - not sure if they're called induction kits on these? Anyway, was wondering if there's any REAL benefit to having one over a panel filter? Cant justify doing it for a flutter

 

Fitting a cone filter won't make your wastegate do anything. There is a point when the standard airbox becomes restrictive apparently, and it's around 400bhp so I'm told.
I do know fitting them you lose a little spool for a micro increase in power so to me it's just not worth it unless you really need to

 

Cone needs to be big enough, many aren't, and they can cause MAF damage and failure, which results in ENGINE FAILURE!!!

 

Sir Bob Rawle of BRD reckons you need to map straight after fitting for any gains.

 

Remap and go mafless

 

Or big Maf

 

Stick with the panel filter unless going mafless

 

You won't get much chatter just by fitting a induction kit, and as said no gains, in fact you'll probably be down on hp compared to pannel filter on stockish mods.

 

Thanks guys ill have to google what maf means I'm new to all this stuff!

But defo gonna stick with the panel, thanks for the advise

 

Mass Air Flow sensor, measure the amount of air going in so the ecu can add the correct amount of fuel, the mafs on the 99-00 are fragile and dont like vibration or dirt which can happen with a cone filter if not mounted correctly.

If the maf does go faulty then it will pretty much run lean and be rebuild time again, so good choice

 

Ok mate top advise thankyou
