panel filter is good enough for up to 400bhp, induction kits can cause maf issues and add to the lag of the FMIC.

What other mods/remap do you have?

ouch, hoping you're not running in boost too much with the stock turbo on and no map tweek.

I'd go for a panel filter mate, unless youre planning to go over 400bhp at some point.

Put it this way, i've got an induction kit on mine, running a VF35, FMIC etc and i'd happily go back to a standard airbox and panel filter as i've had nothing but maf and fuelling problems with an induction kit on.

This is the RCM kit...



It's a bit tight with the Japspeed kit but I've had no issues with MAFs or running since fitting it a couple of years ago. I have run a dedicated cold air feed and will be adding some additional heat-shielding when I get it back from the bodyshop.

Huge 'green stuff' filter on mine. Less than half the price of an RCM (which is basically just a KnN and fancy inlet pipe) and does the job just fine. I'm also running Maf-less.
