air filter

[kappatango]

hi - i want to relace the stock filter with another brand. 

Has anyone got any experience/advive for switching the filter in the existing housing??

And what sort of performance increase could i expect??

mk2 8v '88

thanks

K&N or some of the others and to be honest I don't think you'll notice the difference it will make but they do make a difference if only a very small one !

K&N panel.

No noticable increase.

thanks guys - Do GSF sell that sorta thing, or is there somewhere online to go.....just for the panel and I guess that a stright swap for whats in there??

[Agreeable Slick]

any good autofactors should do them, and aye, it;s a straight swap over for the old paper filter.

sorry for being dumb  :embarassed:

go to gsf in worthing and they'll sort you out. i'm pretty sure they do k&n and i'm pretty sure yours is a digifant. basicly if you open the bonnet and there are loads of braided hoses coming off your air box its a k-jet. if not its a digi.
