Induction kits upset the MAF sensor. This is caused by the air being turbulent, the OE induction tract smoothes out the airflow prior to the filter. So if you are sticking to the TMIC and keeping the OE ECU then go for a panel filter. If you are going to fit a FMIC then one option is to move the MAF sensor to after the intercooler so it beciomes a blow through MAF, not sure if there are boost restrictions though.
