Hi . I tryed to put a a induction kit on my wrx 2003 red blobeye . Installed and the car was stalling and not liking the drive the maf was on the right way and is fine . Any ideals why that would be . Have put the stock air box with a hks air panel in . Running fine now . Just wanted to hear the turbo spool a bit more .

 

It will need mapping into the car

 

Ok thank you

 

As above it will need mapping to suit, they do sound great when on boost,the best sounding and probably best performing is the rcm version which is a large k&n filter with the rcm trumpet. Great sound from them

 

as above remap needed , you could fit it , reset the ecu , drive carefully to get it somewhere to get it mapped , ecu is confused as to what’s going on due to the change in the air getting into the engine , i had a cone filter for a while it did improve performance the boost noise was great but i get fed up with the noise all the time

 

If you view all the road tests they gain no extra power

 

i agree little to be gained from them , not a good idea having one sitting in a hot engine bay , but put one in a wing with a cold air feed and a remap then possibly a minimal gain to be had , i’ve stuck with a performance panel filter in standard air box on both of my scoobies , my ute the gains are bonkers it’s around 40bhp + with a map but the v8 suck a load of air in , but funnily enough not a massively noticeable gain in on the road performance
