Which intake for gains, sound & reliability?

I wouldn't dwell on it,once the map is on it'll be fine,providing its a decent trusted one that is.

I am looking at possibly going stage 2+. Is the OE box with a decent panel filter any good or will it seriously compromise power on stage2 +.

Having had stage 2+ with an intake then back to oe with k&n panel and then paper. I can say the car felt best with the oe plus paper filter. I lost low end torque with the intake and the k&n gave me boost fluctuations. I wanted a fast road car so the oe plus paper gave me the best results. On tests the best panel filter showed a 0.90% pressure drop than paper, so very little difference in flow.
The revo is a good intake but these are not cold air intakes in the truest sense as they are not sealed from the warm engine air. The revo has a pipercross filter on the end so is a good flowing and filtering air filter.

Interesting to read about the standard intake,I would have had it dyno'd before and after but fitting isn't a five minute job.
My Revo Induction is trying its best to be a cold air intake

Is the revo intake supposed to rub on the heatshield? Mines rubbed the black coating off!

I agree with you that there are good points with the original filter.. I had ITG but went back to carbonio style intake (with pipercross panel) because of driveability issues (and noise..). I spend a lot of time rolling the maf section to different angles because I had rich running engine and lost boost at low revs. It did help and it was almost bearable in the end. Of course ITG produced more power at the top, but it didnt "feel" as good in daily driving conditions.
