Induction kits
Is an after market induction kit worth it?
Looking into the Apexi range for a 2002 STI bugeye (UK)
But i have heard the standard box is better due to heat from the turbo??????
If this isnt the case will a 2003 kit fit onto the bug eye? Does it matter from WRX to STI or not??
Thanks, Sam

Hi Sam
I ran an induction kit (Blitz SUS and Powertec) and actually found I lost power when I was running minor mods.
Not sure of your intentions but from experience proabably better to run with the panel filter.
I now have a biggish K&N filter with heat shield but this followed the new 18G turbo; exhaust and remap

Unless you're going for a FMIC (in which you need to remove the airbox for the FMIC piping (in most cases)), stick with the standard airbox... AndyF's WRX which made 370-something bhp was still on standard air box and so are many reasonably powerful cars on here...
I'd save the difference between a panel filter and an induction kit myself and stick it towards a remap, because that will make a massive difference (all in my opinion, but I'm not a tuner or anything)
Edit: remap should cost you about 650 all in plus a fuel pump upgrade (~ 80 quid)
