forge 007p recirc valve

 

[jay1601]

agreed with above the 007P is thw way to go.

IMO K&N are crap

 

[a3dcf]

Whats crap about k&n which would you go for also where can i find the cheapest forge dv? cheers

 

[jay1601]

i got my 007P from S3BAM, for a good price. not sure on current price or if he still sells, drop him a PM

i used a K&N on my corsa C and it killed my MAF sensor, mate used a K&N on his LCR killed his MAF within a couple of weeks.

better filters out there but thats my opinion

 

[s3dave]

The K&n filters do seem to be over-oiled out of the box, to say how long they have been making them they should no better......IMO

iv got a K&N on my a3 doesn't seem to cause any problems but i did read on the K&N website this - K&N Response to Mass Air Flow Sensor Concerns

i don't know if its just K&N saying this to watch there *** so loads of people don't ring up and blame them, also in the Neuspeed P-Flow Kit it uses a K&N filter and iv herd quite a few people using them. and from my personal experience when i fitted my girlfriends jetex on her LCR it felt more oily than my K&N.

there was a post about air filters a couple of weeks back. It was a scan showing the results of different filters etc on the same engine. K&N was one of the worst flowing out of all the cotton filters.

ill try find it

If u go to the bottom of the scans to the graph. The lower the line is the better as the left side is restriction.

woah powertec seems to bum everything else, that pretty much changes my view on cone filters and what the difference between them is.

it does but also offers the least protection. jetex is the best compromise it seems.

 

[aragorn]

Pity they didnt graph the amount of dirt passed thru the filters.

no ratings on the hks mushroom filter i have this and find it a great filter i have had the powertec filter on my previous car.

the powertec was good filter little maintenence needed.

the hks mushroom filter is great filter change the filter every 6months costs £5 fo the element and is a dry system so no oil in the filter
