Just, are you ever going to modify your car or are you going to spend all your time here asking repetitive questions about bits you can buy for it? You're not Scoobynodd in disguise, are you?
Surely you've been around here long enough to realise that with the turbo (and power level) you've got the best thing you can do with the induction tract of your car is to leave the standard one on, and maybe replace the panel filter with a better one?
Do you ever use the search function prior to asking a question btw?

in answer to your question - yes they do their jobs. theyre a dry filter so wont harm your maf like an oiled one would. had one and replaced it for an apexi power intake - to be fair any dry induction kit is going to do the same job as each other. Handy if you plan on going for a fmic later in life too, as youl need one.

and if i'm spending that amount i'm gonna go front mount from harvey and take my chances with a induction kit, surely regardless of the power limits of my setup a fmic will benefit me with lower charge temps for my remap by andy f
Don't know whether terminal indecision is something you suffer from a lot, but if you carry on the way you're going, not only will you bore us all to death, Andy will probably be doddering around in a retirement home before you can put your car in front of him.

£250 is a reasonable price for one in good nick, especially with the inlet pipe and dumpvalve
You've asked (and received answers) to exactly this question in the past, so rather than ask the same thing over and over again, why not go back through your own threads, or even ask your chosen mapper? There's a page on his website here that may help you.

with the air filter an decat once mapped u can c an good few horsies added there i reckon but yea 98 arent mappable. try giving jgm a call if u decide. he might have a 2nd hand apexi there. but if your not mapping well just dont cane your car. the mixture of air to fuel is now lean an prob burn a hole in your piston

also, it depends! the weakest link on the uk cars is the gearbox, so would all depend on how you drove it. there are guys on here with uk cars running 350+, i think one is even somewhere in the region of 380bhp and still going - all be it on borrowed time..but iv heard there are customers of a certain trader on here running over 400 ponies on uk 754 boxes.
take everything on here with a pinch of salt. i did, take a look at my project and tell me that wont make 350

Induction kits are not recommended on my99/00 cars due to the more sensitive maf's (its not just the oil on the filters that kill them but the vibration of the induction kit, even with fixed mountings).
As to some of the other questions
uk classic engines (well all 2ltr classic turbo engines) have the same issue, crap conrods, which limits your power, they can let go as low as 330bhp and 350 is seen as the safe max limit.

where have you heard these bad things? im saying it all depends, sticking a 20g on and expecting it to be ok is a nono, you cannot just stick a big turbo on and expect it to be ok - i think this is where under educated modifiers come on here talking of their experience and put people off...like that fella the other day who held is car flat out for 2 miles on full whack...do that for even a mile and it can do your engine in.

full decat, VF29 Turbo, fmic from harvey hybrid gt2, uprated fuel pump, ecutek remap by andy f also forgot to mention HKS induction kit and new maf sensor to be safe
some say its a waste of time fitting a fmic but surely the cooler the charge temp the better and safer, its about the same cost as a secondhand sti tmic

the bit i heard was the gearboxes an clutch plus the internals of the engine. id love for more power but it scares me to gamble for more as i dont want a ruined car an cant afford an sti which i could only dream of. but if i was to go higher on this it will have to wait until work picks up an secure but i think next turbo is a td05 18g. i want to get to as u say 380bhp in time with minimal lag an a front mount to help an poss 550 injectors
