Your filter is fine for your current power. If you want much more you will need an induction kit. Putting one on now wouldn't hurt but the 2-300 quid for the induction kit and a few hundred quid for the remap probably isn't worth the 10bhp you would get.

Stick with Panel at that level, Green are fine or go K & N or Cosworth.

I agree with the others,the green panel filter is good for that sort of power, it's what I have and I have been told it does a good job.

I think if you are going 400+bhp then you may need to have a rethink.

An induction kit is a nice addition, I love the difference in sound especially on Scoob but I would advise at the very least getting the map checked.
