sprinter2012 Personally I think the turbo one is flawed, in that a LOT of turbo'd cars had the turbos fitted/upgraded after they left the factory.
Can you imagine Stav's car trying to suck in 400hp+ of air through a K&N panel filter? I think it would rip the paper out of it's housing! LOL
Yes I can, the 5.7L engine in my car can be tuned for 550BHP N/A (if you have deep pockets) and can get there with a OEM paper filter - proven time and time again. Over 550 a different filter is better.

I meant with the standard IS200 filter, would that really still work?
Surely that must reduce performance at that level?

OEM filters are not as bad as people believe - I thought they were rubbish just like the majority of people however videos like this and my own research suggest otherwise.
Sure there is evidence going the other way but for a road car OEM filters do the job without you the driver suffering. Unless you want a more pronounced induction noise.

31-03-2019, 09:33 PM #13The issue there is there is no way of getting to that level in an IS200 without a tubby, so a pod filter is required.

So I've got a different plan. As its going to make sweet fa difference to performance, going for an induction kit for the IS and take a cold feed pipe from the bottom grill. A mod I bought for the Celica 5 years ago but never fitted.
Well I got my jan speed exhaust fitted today and it seems to be a lot smoother and noticeably torquier (if that's a word) but it doesn't sound any different to the the one that was in it.
