Help!

I want to put an induction kit on the P1, as have got the full HKS system (super dragger), and was wondering what to go for - noise isn't an issue as it's a second car.

Heard some horror stories about the quality of the filtration, and it also buggering up the air flow sensor, which if that goes makes the car run like a pile of pooh.

Ahy ideas, everyone I spoke to said don't get an oil based filter, get a wax based one?

Please help!

There has always been quite a lot of talk about the best induction kits:

Blitz for example has led to a lot of MAF faliures but there will be people out there who have not had any faliures with it

APS Cold Air Kit is renowned to be one of the best, I don't think there are any MAF faliures with this kit on..but could be mistaken!

K&N 57i Again very reliable, again I have not heard of any faliures with this.

Not sure about HKS I am sure others will join in soon

I've personally had problems with HKS, none with K&N mated to STi trumpet.

HKS is not recommended for normal street use, the filtration capability is rather poor. I think the most important is to firmly attache the induction kit, as vibrations are more an issue for the MAF as is the filter itself.
I'm very happy with my APEX'i, one, try to get one, if you find someone in your area who has them.

Would agree with Alberick on that.

Apexi or APS everytime. APS flows so much air it can cause lean running - but I guess all the good ones do.

Blitz and HKS, if those tests are anything to go by, you may as well not run a filter at all.

Craig,

Do you not rate the K&N's in your vast experience? Just out of interest!

Cheers m8
