Interesting, thanks for the effort (and petrol!)

Is it? I thought it was a bit inconclusive. :confused:
Like i said i'll run more once I have the slam panel adapter as maybe hot engine air was still getting into the enclosed filter.

It may become clearer after a number of runs to see if the results are consistent. Look forward to seeing if the adapter/ram bit gives it the edge

Sorry just being lazy and hosting these here so I can use them in my revised first post.

£350 for 4bhp isnt quite what I was expecting.

I think with a stage 1 map you will not see much gain as the standard filter is still able to flow the air needed for 240bhp.
Also you need to leave whatever filter you have chosen on the car for a week and then do some more logging as the ECU needs to adapt.
I think after that you will see 250bhp.
It will be more responsive and maybe better MPG.
When I had the ITG and exhaust I was MAFing at about 330bhp and now with the Pipercross Panel its 300bhp. So you can see the gains with bigger flow.
Thats a 2+ ED30 BTW.
If you goto Stage 2 or 3 now it will make a difference but give it time to adapt.

Ok thanks.
I have left the open filter on there for now. I still need to work out why I'm getting this funny whistle and see if it can be eradicated.
My MPG seems to have dropped considerably since fitting (and no im not counting the big acceleration tests in that :) ). On my usual drive home from southend to cambridge the other night where i wasn't driving hard it only got 24mpg where i usually get 28+mpg. Hopefully this will settle after adapting?
Im due back at R-tech in a couple of weeks so hopefully it will have had plenty of time to settle. I can add power graphs and more logging runs then as well...
I guess the good result of todays test show that the smaller filter doesn't seem to loose anything in terms of air flow and temp and it obviously has the upside of looking neater and being much quieter.
