INDUCTION KIT ??
I drive my car but a mechanic I aint!!! I keep seeing induction kits advertised, is this worth buying, what will I get from it? what one should I buy? I have a 1997 STI type R, already got exhaust and dump valve, do I need induction kit?......cheers

Imprezas dont benefit from 'induction kits' unless theyre making well in excess of 300Bhp; Id advise against fitting one as they cause more problems than they solve, this goes for oiled filter elements too.
There are some circumstances where a VTA dump valve will be a benefit, but unless youve got a 500Bhp monster then I doubt that that will do anything productive either; dump valves and induction kits are the mechanical equivalent of blue neon washer jets.....
A bit of controversy creeping in there.....

I got an HKS ind kit fitted to my '93 wrx with a remap aswell. Noticed a little difference performance wise, but did notice a big difference in how much better the car sounded when fitted with the decat exhaust.

I've got a Blitz stainless steel induction kit along with Bailey dump valve, remap and full stainless single high flow cat exhaust, and have never had any problems on my UK97 turbo. Rolling road figures are pretty good to with 268bhp. Love the sound of the induction kit sucking in air when pushing it!!

Been running a Blitz SUS filter for a year with no problems at all but it has a decent air feed from the front and a heatshield so stays pretty cool.
I believe the older MAF sensors are more robust and are not so prone to damage...on later cars it's advised to stick to the OE airbox and a decent (non oiled) panel filter.

Thanks for the advice guys...a little confused but I will read all again, more against the induction than for. Maybe Ill give it a miss. Cheers again.
