most do not recommend fitting an induction kit from what ive noticed on here. Although from what ive seen in japan a good quality induction kit such as the apexi is a good kit to use. You shouldnt need to change anything with the induction kit. just make sure you clean it at regular intervals.

The only problem is that on a recent dyno day it was found that a customer with a Pipercross kit was running week, after changing the kit to another make the car started to run OK. Any ideas?

What's the link to their site and where does it say no re-map is required?

Cheers
