What filter you thinkin of getting? A performance panel filter will increase air flow a bit.

If you fit a filter that pumps I'll be impressed.

don't think that will be the case m8..
Induction kit is set properly wi cold air feeds and heatshield etc..maybe 3,4,5 bhp...if your lucky though..
So NO WAY a filter is going to take a 1.2 to 1.4 territory
Take it you talking 1.2 /1.4 16v engines yeah..

doesn't always make your car faster, if you fit an induction kit you may find that it sucks in the heat from the engine. Your better off getting a panel filter withand drilling the box

Fit it properly with a heatshield and cold air ducting and stops it sucking in some of the hot air..Not all like...
As I said above....

1.2's just aren't worth getting performance mods for.
They are cars that go from a - b and nothing more
