superchip & Panel Filter

[Gavla52]

Hi Guys

I would gather that it is recommended to add an induction kit when having a superchip but wondered are panel filters (Pipercross) just as effective?

Not bothered about induction noise tbh so was going to purchase a panel filter however, i know these dont produce the best gains.

With an induction kit on the LCR im guessing heat soak could be a problem?!?

Any help on the matter would be great

Heak soak isn't really an issue on these cars to be honest if you replace the rather rubbish OEM air feed with some neoprene ducting. You'll find that the drivers side intercooler does most of the work when cooling air into the turbo but obviously, the cooler the air is that the filter sucks in, the more of it it can ram into the turbo. Nothing wrong with the Piper X panel filter at all if you want the engine to stay quiet, i'd say just upgrade the airfeed into the box to go with it.

Wouldn't it be better to get a remap instead of a superchip as they are a bit outdated now and requires soldering to install and remove, remaps are safer too i heard.

I meant a re-map, sorry guys trying to do to many things at once and i was looking at summat on google about superchips but didnt mean for the car.

Ye im lookin at remaping the car

Superchips do remaps now, that's what I thought you meant

They aren't popular for our MK1's though.
