Procomps induction Owners
I have always been a massive fan of these since there were released years ago.
Let me see you pics of them in your engine bay
Has anyone changed the jetex filter (i think it is) to something like a green filter and did you notice any difference?

Depends am sure they used to be 280 from Procomp, but they went bust or something and someone else bought the mouls...i.e streamline carbon and now its £299.
£20 more but they have changed the way they make it, so it looks better and the fnish is spot on

TBH appearence doesnt really mater, as long as it gives good gains and doesnt cost alot, then thats what i would go for.
sorry to hijack the thread, but does anyone know what BHP a non-turbo 2.0 subaru puts out? they seem incredably slow....  sorry.

jetex filter was fine i dont beleive changing to a k+n or anything else would give any noticeable increase/decrease.
The procomp was worth the money alone for the noise it made. It was possibly the single best mod i bought in my many years of saxo owners ship.
