95 WRX with FMIC, what induction kit?
Hi there i wondered if you might be able to help, My brother is about to Fit a FMIC kit from Flat4online.co.uk, i understand that you need to replace the standard air box with a cone to allow enough space for the pipe work, given that this is the case what induction kits do people recommend to work well in this situation ?
Kind regards
Dave

I've got a K+N 57i on mine, works well and fits ok with the hybrid.
There are quite a few fitting guides for the hybrid on here, search the projects forum

I've ran K+N filters on all my scoobs for years without any probs, all of them pre MY97 with the stronger MAF. The MAFs that aren't IK friendly are those from the MY99-00 - even then the K+N is well regarded as MAF friendly on these models.

seems alot of confusion over this matter, alot of people saying one thing and lots saying the opposite, has there been any actual failures from oil'd filters?

I'm saying that K+N filters are fine. In my opinion.
Other filters, be they oiled or not, may or may not be good.

It is confusing isn't it?! As long ago as 1996 or so I read an article in Max Power (sorry) where a group of induction kits were tested. The winner in that test was the K and N which if I remember correctly gave a nigh on twenty bhp gain! The car was an Astra Gsi 16 valver with an exhaust and three bar MAP sensor.
