Mine is a Revo Intake, I am not going beyond Stage 1 so it is not required.

I know its an old thread! but I've read through the post and still have a question.
I appreciate the standard filter will be a limitation on stage 2, but if the car has all the hardware for stage 2 and a remap to suit for stage 2, is there any significant limitation power wise by keeping the standard airbox. I just dont like darth vader in the glovebox.

My Ed. 30 with stage 2+ parts fitted couldn't make more than 330 BHP with an OEM airbox and a VWR panel filter using 98 octane petrol. Using a octane booster it made 335 BHP. With the same octane booster and changing to the VWR intake it made 355 BHP. No change on the tune for that, it was just the OEM airbox restricting the top power. Later with the same hardware but no octane booster and a new tune the engine made 367 BHP. That's my personal experience.

Thanks for that so it does restrict thats clear and what I expected just by how much.. Maybe I will just see what he driveability is like under the 2. I just don’t think a filter is for me.
This will be on a KO3 don’t think I mentioned above.
