The better the car takes in cool air the better the fuel return.
The reason to reset the ecu is so the car memory reset your driving mode and will look at what changes has come into effect.

should i reset my ecu? as i get the feelin the previous owner very rarely went into the vvti? how do u reset the ecu?
theres a couple of different panel filters on ebay. do i need the square one or the l shaped one?
Garys Lexus IS200 - Lexusboy - 24-03-2018
Normally l shape but check whats there already.
If you disconnect the battery for 20 minutes this will reset the ecu

i wont loose any settings or anything will , i know the radio doesnt have one but it wont disturb anything will it?
Garys Lexus IS200 - Lexusboy - 24-03-2018
Don't think it affects anything on the is200 models except the radio station setting but it does on the other model cars like the sc ls gs
If you have a after market alarm this could be effected
