It's looks pretty small in the picture, but I'm sure in person it will look much bigger good choice by the sounds of it mate, if you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back??

£80 which was the cheapest I found it. Have a look at adam cupra 20vt thread, its bigger than you think.

Apexi is very popular in the states and Japan and they seem good for 400-500bhp. Like I said the reviews rate them very highly indeed so I am quite excited and Of course I will reserve judgment till I try it.

I know the cupra mk2 people use ITGs and say they are pretty good. Problem I read with foam ones is they tend to let more dirt in than other types and once they do get dirty thats it.

Very good choice on the Apexi, there pretty over looked as people associate them with Jap cars but its a great filter

Nice one Maz, I'm wondering what it will show on dyno After I read few last post today morning I had some ideas for you, but now it is too late
Anyway I would build a nice heat shield...

Used to run an Apexi filter on my 200SX and they're a very nice bit of kit. Good choice!

If it's a BMC CDA then ditch it ASAP, these are known to be very restrictive

yeah it is. was great as first, but I don't think its giving the flow it once did.

Got to be a dry filter mate otherwise it will cause problems with MAF.

You only get MAF problems if you overoil them after cleaning I had a green filter in mine for over 45k miles and it gave me no problems at all even with 2 cleans.

Yes but only way to get them clean is by oiling them. How much oil is too much, how clean do you want it etc...

You clean it with filter cleaner solution - once all the old stuff is off and it's clean and dry, light sprays of the new oil until you have a nice even covering. I've always followed the instructions

I bought a dry one so dont have to do that

For filtration / cost / flow you can't actually do much better than the stock filter, the only reason i changed mine was to increase the induction noise

 

[john_tdi]

the 1.8t boys seem to use big jetex ones, are they oil?

Any updates on this Maz?
