Panel filter or enclosed induction?
Yo all.
I'm looking to improve on the billions of gee-gees (horses) my engine already develops - mainly for ecomony improvements.
Where would my money be better spent... enclosed induction or panel filter?
Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent provider of either for my car? :
thanks everyone

Panel filter for you mate, not sure of the diesel inlet but ditch the bit to the air box for a straight pipe to remove resonator and all the other shit

torque is immense on diesels, and same rules apply sort of, panel filter for sure, enclosed wont give that much but allowing it to breath better is a good idea.

Get a panel filter for sure mate, you will notice a better difference with that and should pick up quicker.
