K&N airfilter upgrade...

[rayTTsmith]

Hi... if i put a k&n cone filter in my car, do i have to reset the computer or does my computer reset it self???

[Crasher]

Don't do it, fit a K&N panel filter only.

[rayTTsmith]

oh ok... and why is that? just curious...

[Crasher]

Induction kits suck hot air which loses power and they appear (in my experience that is, I sell huge amounts of K&N) to cause Air Mass Meter failure where the panel filters do not. I don’t know why there this is but it is what I see.

I had to change my air mass after fitting a K & N panel filter to my Seat Leon 1.8T .. you could see where it had sucked the oil from the filter...

[Crasher]

I have never seen that happen.

Hi,

When you say panel filter, you mean "in box" filter?


Thanks

Yes, a direct replacement for the original paper element.

OK.

I have allways used CAI, and now I don´t want change the original one.
According to K&N add, you can get 1-4 hp with this kind of filter.
Do you know anyone using it, that got result like this?


I already have the APR programs installed, and want make some other mods.

Once again, thanks.

1PS yes, 2PS maybe, 3PS possibly, 4PS yes I have seen but any more and I would like to see it to believe it. I have the APR stage 1 for 98RON on my AUQ engine and it pulses and stutters under boost, nothing on standard setting.
