Just stick with a good panel filter like Pipercross

Was your old filter filthy? or was the air intake itself blocked?  :huh:

There nowt wrong with having an induction kit, but without other mods to increase performance you will see zero benefits.

only thing with an induction kit is they drag the engine bay air in which is hot. Also how did you find out there isn't enough air going in?

theres a guy around the corner from me who i was talking to, he has a pipercross panel filter in his so we swapped and went for a drive and the problem was solved.

it started instantly without haveing to press the accelerator ticked over smoothly and power was also smooth and progressive.

put the old panel filter back in last night and this morning pig to start again so off to get a new filter in a mo when ive finished at work dont know what to do for best now though panel or induction?
