An induction kit is only better if you can guarantee you can get a decent supply of cold air to it.

If I was you, unless you're doing heavy mods to it get a panel filter, then drill the airbox and get a cold air feed from the vent in the bottom of the bumper.  If you search the forum there'll be a few topics on it mate.

The pics of the inside of the airbox look very messy, but it's pretty smooth behind there and it made good power on the dyno  :smiley: :smiley:

Drilled airbox and panel filter is the best option.
