#1: K&N Air Filter Author: mdstone, Location: South WalesPosted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:48 am ---- Can anyone advise on the benefits of replacing the standard air filter with a K&N filter on a GTi? This would be just the paper filter not an entire new filter box. i.e. no insurance changes required.

Meaning better throttle response and possibley a gain of 1bhp maximum

When you say re-oil, does that mean it has to be oiled initially?

No from the box it's ready to be dropped in.

but as said will give a better less restrictive air flow
