Default Which panel filter?
Evening everyone, just wondering which filter would be best to get as I'm looking at getting the car mapped in a few weeks time, not expecting huge gains its more about making sure the car is fueling nice and smooth. However if I can give it a little help all the better.

I'd recommend the pipercross pro r at £30, it's reusable and dry so no maf oil risks, in the independent jap tests it added 9bhp which was the same as cosworth which is also dry and costs about £30 but isn't reusable, k&n and green are both cleanable but cost slighlty more, they added 10/11 bhp in the test but why risk using these oil based filters for that little gain however small the risk maybe

K&N or GREEN IMO, used these for years and they cause no issues...........

the only oiling problem you potentially get is with the foam type filters (older p/x, ITG, etc.) or if you over oil a cotton one after cleaning.......
