or can anyone reccomend another one?

cheers andy :-)

Was thinking about this one too

http://www.scoobyparts.com/acatalog/...CTION_KIT.html

seem to work really well on my turbo 2000 :-)

I would leave it exactly where it is mate.

Keep it standard unless your going to spend out on other engine mods...

As above keep the OEM airbox,for your needs will be enough

Just get a panel filter good for 400+

As above mate.

A nice K&N Panel filter :ok:

A fitter will be fine and It so happens that I have a Cosworth one that only done 1 to 2000 miles that I need to sell as I went FMIC.

Well looks like ill be going for a panel filter for now then lol are there any issues with oil going onto the maf as opposed to a dry filter induction kit? also has anyone used either of these ones?

Apparently do-lucks panel filter gave the best results performance wise when tested. No idea how they are in general though.

Cheers dude ill have a gander

Do-Luck will give you biggest gain,but have poor filtration...

Personally i would go with K&N or Green Cotton,Cosworth too is good from the test

Jura


K&N or Green Cotton,Cosworth will be better choice than Do-Luck


Jura

Cosworth one is good.

I had a feeling that would be the case with the Do-luck one, hence why I said I have no idea other than the performance gains. Remember a similar test with cone filters where the best hp gain wise, were the worst when it came to keeping the air clean. Not worth it for 3-5 extra ponies!!

On another note as its quite relevant to the opening post, is it purely for financial reasons people say not to bother upgrading to induction kit from decent panel filter or are there mechanical repercussions also? Thanks in advance.

Well ive ordered my first set of bits for the scoob, ordered a dv, panel filter, splitter and a few other little bits so pleased with that, looking forward to fitting them and hopefully noticing a change as time goes on, got a few other bits in the pipe line too but gonna get some advice from people on here before i go gun ho into it lol

Well normally ive allways gone for a induction kit, but alot of people on here and my mechanic have said a pannel filter is best unless im planning to go above 450bhp, id like to get to the 400 mark one day but im happy for now just getting it breathing better. Im not entierly sure why a pannel filter is better, im guessing it may be something to do with heat soak or something like that :-)

Hot air from engine bay, Extra air which the MAF has issues measuring accurately low down when size increased etc

Similar situation is with the HKS panel filter,they have biggest gain(7-10bhp),but again have poor filtration and poor filtration is not good for your MAF and turbo and engine,plus Do-Luck and HKS are not re-usable as K&N,Green Cotton and Cosworth(Cosworth filter is just K&N filter coloured to the Cosworth blue colour),those 3-5bhp you will never feel on road,similar is with lightweight pulleys etc.

About the induction kits is you will need remap,yes looking nice at engine bay,but gains are not massive if its mapped,i would say keep your OEM airbox,its OK to above 400bhp and if you will at future go with FMIC(Front mount intercooler) and bigger power yes you will need go with induction kit,but on standard TD04 is pretty pointless go with FMIC,we are this done and if its worth,i would say no


Jura

I was thinking along the lines of k&n and the green ones but i was worried about the filter oil getting on the maf like with some of the induction kits :-( or is it different with the panel filters?

People used Green Cotton and K&N panel filter without the problems and i don't think you will have problems with those panel filters


Oil is just on the outside - the air facing side of you like, the oil is to help trap and catch particles

Jura

Cheers for the replies to my question. So in a nutshell you can fit an induction kit as long as you make a heat shield but don't expect a performance increase ultimately making it a waste of time and money unless aiming for 400+ bhp. Ive been known to waste the odd bit of time and money ;-)
