Induction Kits add Power to Turbo Engines?
The answer is WRONG! - There are many believers out there that Induction Kits do add power. The fact is Induction kits do not always add power to forced induction engines. Despite the claims made by the manufacturers of induction kits, very few cars actually see a benefit from adding them.
So, if you are looking for more power then there are lots of better things to spend your money on. The reason is that the Induction Kit sucks in hot air from the engine bay which carries less oxygen and therefore reduces power. Standard air filter boxes are more than sufficient for your EP6-DT engines.
If you want to improve the airflow then it is better to replace the stock air-filter with a high flow panel air filter similar ti K&N 33-2936 instead...
... but the benefits will only be appreciated at the top end of the rev range. Only if you want others to hear the induction roar noise out of your car bonnet and makes you feel good then the induction kits are for you!. Otherwise do not waste your money.

Agree. Small engined cars can lose power when fitted with an induction kit instead of a panel filter. Panel filter is the best for our 308 Turbo engines.
yup ... i can testify ... i dump the open pod after 1 day .. low end torque was horrendous ... hehe . anyhow the default design is still the best ..
Very true. Induction kits are usually good for big engines and not useful for small engines like 308T of only 1.6liter. Small engines will have less power output if they are fitted with air induction kit especially at low end of the power band. Very few small engines actually see benefit from adding them.
Bought one for my 5008..can't figure out how to open the filter box yet.. Lol
