Default Induction Kit for 1.8 zetec

I have a focus 1.8 zetec and i want to change the airbox for an induction kit. Any ideas on which one to go for as there are so many to choose from. I quite like the idea of a Jetex induction kit as they are about £30 cheaper than all the others. Any of you guys got the jetex induction kit, if so is it any good??

If not which one have you got, and what sort of power increase did you get?

I got the jetex induction kit sounds great, quite when crusing, noisey as hell when you nail it!!! Well impressed They do state though that the bracket bolts on in a certain place next to the battery but it's a bit to close to the fuse box and rubs, so I drilled a new hole a couple of inches forward and fits a treat now.

Avoid oiled air filters as the oil contaminates the MAF sensor wires.

ive got a pipercross one and ive never had a spot of bother with it. i cleaned it a couple of weeks ago and it still seems the same? that ones got a good noise and always turns the heads. i cant see how the oil would interfere with the MAF sensors though????

The oil changes the cooling effect on the hot wire resulting in inaccurate readings.

well if i was to sell it what would you reccomend? ive heard the jetex ones are good but there is a one called the " ractive superflow"? a bit on the pricey side and maybe not as good as the graham goode but it did get some positive feedback on power increase when tested. theres that many to choose from now.
