K&N is a no-brainer upgrade IMHO. Helps fuel economy a bit, sounds slightly better, doesn't cost much (you need air filters anyway) and you know the engine is breathing better.

Andy-R. TBH mate forced indution doesn't give hardly any extra power just sounds better.

Think there might be a misunderstanding here, forced induction is where you force the induction air in, e.g. supercharger or turbocharger. Were you thinking just of an induction kit ? Because then as you say it just makes it sound different really.

EEK! Problems, not sure if this is filter related. But.....
If i thrash the car for a few mins, then come to a stop at some lights or something, the car isn't idling properly. It sounds like its about to cut out! Is this normal????? HELP please

No, it's not normal. Did you reset the ECU soon before that ? If not, give that a go. If you did, might be part of the learning process ?

I assume this didn't use to happen before you changed the filter ? Might be worth double-checking that it's in place properly.

No not normal at all.
If filter is all that you've changed recently then i'd start there, were you careful when replacing the filter that no debris went past the filter??? i know i pulled out leaves & hoovered out some dust before fitting mines.

Did you re-set your ecu???? i re-set mine but it just may be yours coming to terms with the new filter???




EDIT - Stevie beat me to it.

No when you come to a stop the idle should stay at one place and not move.

Yes I reset the ecu. It has done it before, but only once or twice. It doesn't happen everytime either. And will sit at idle fine when just started, or I haven't been driving hard.

A friend at work has said it could be the MAF sensor, going to clean the airbox out when I get home tonight. And see if there is any dust on the sensor.

I had a quick clean round the MAF sensor on my lunch, and car was fine on the way home.
Its a good improvement too, the old filter was well due for replacement, taken a while to bed in, but worth the hassle. :w00t:

The IS200 doesn't have a MAF sensor (it has MAP instead).
