Im no expert, but I believe they do give you a small boost in horsepower if done correctly, however you need to ensure they are getting a cold air feed too. Otherwise they just suck in very hot air which means no extra power and possibly damage to the engine in the long run...

Just remove the resonator box in the wing it will let more air get to the induction kit.
Make sure that the induction kit is properly secured or the vibrations could affect the MAF also a lot of people go on about you don't need an induction if you are running less than 350bhp.

i've got a 93 wrx with an induction kit (apexi) no problems with the MAF had it for 3 years running about 280bhp, a mate has a 94 wrx with one (HKS) running 310bhp he hasn't had a problem.

yes if you look in it you will see a wire hanging down thats the sensor (don't touch it cos its sensitive)
Do you have a kit already on it or looking for one to put on?
If you are looking to buy one do not buy one that is oiled as the oil can come of and onto the wire and f**k it up.
the japanes filters (blitz,HKS and apexi aren't oiled,the blitz filter is stainless steel i think)

Have completed a number of back to back tests with an induction kit and standard airbox on a newage. In my opinion, I would stick with the airbox which is more than man enough to supply enough air for up to 380bhp. For a paltry £40 an uprated panel filter repeatedly gave circa 8-10bhp increase, without the need to stress about under bonnet heat soak.
