Default Can I upgrade the air filter in my PPP MY00 Turbo?

Looking to put an STi panel filter jobby instead of the standard one.

Will the PPP ECU be happy with that or will it start to give me problems??

I had a full decat recently and it wasn't too happy to say the least, so I had to put the original catted downpipe back on. Currently ok with a Magnex non-res decat centre.

I am currently running with a MY00PPP With a full Decat and Green Panel filter and all is well

I did run with an STI panel with the catted d/pipe and the car was fine

Apart from the STi filter, what are some other decent options?
Ive heard lots of stories about dickie MAF sensors after changing the air filter..?

*ahem* well if you read the Scooby Magazine filter test then the 'Green' Panel filter is the one to go for and with it being lightly oiled is MAF friendly

There are also K&N and ITG but the ITG is not really recommended with the 99/00 type MAF sensors

Proper STi one is the one go for.

The decat downpipe may well need the ECU error light ( CEL ) fix doing, but the decat d/pipe would show dividends in terms of performance etc.!

What were the problems with it ?
