They can contaminate the MAF sensor (mainly MY99 and MY00) with can lead to lean running and ultimately a popped engine if it's not spotted.
I have an MY99 with a K&n 57i (considered the only safe choice by many) and have had to replace the maf. Whether it was down to the filter or the fact it was 5 years old i don't know

I run a bugeye MY02 WRX T
The induction side is one of the things that subaru seem to have got right.......
With an STi panel filter etc (I use a K&N, not ITG) 300 plus BHP seems fine although a bit quiet !!

hi im new to this forum but why will atmospheric dumpvalves lead to engine damage
i phoned up a few scooby tuners and most have said that the fitting of an induction kit is unwise as it can in turn make your engine run lean and cause detonation so on mine i use the original, my car is a my99 uk spec my maf sensor gave out on me 2 months ago and i dint have any other filter but the original type fitted ( fixed on warranty)
