Question about induction kits?

Postby Jonknight » Mon Oct 03, 2011 8:20 pm

I was wondering if fitting an induction kit to my Mpi would give any noticable power increase or is it better to just go for K&N OE replacement filter or just leave alone. Are the benefits purely just service life with the OE type?

Cheers

Hi Jon,
The induction kits actually cost you power because the filter is just taking in hot air from around the engine ;)
The best would be the K&N replacement airfilter. It does give you a tiny bit of power and the car drives way better ;)

Cool I'll give that a go. At least it will save me a couple of quid :)
