RallyRaddo 0 Posted August 19, 2007 Just ordered a replacemet ITG Filter from Merlin Motorsport (Pt No WB481). I used a competition ITG Filter on my rally prepared Discovery for years and wondered if anyone's used this make on a Corrado? Curious about any improvements noticed.

jonnyboyo 0 Posted August 19, 2007 Is this a panel filter matey? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RallyRaddo 0 Posted August 19, 2007 Yes, direct replacement for the standard one Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonnyboyo 0 Posted August 21, 2007 How much was it mate? The K&N filters on Rado's tend to give a crisper throttle response and a deeper induction note. I guess the ITG would be the same. A common mod is to drill the airbox WING SIDE ONLY and/or remove the snorkel from the front of the airbox which restricts the airflow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RallyRaddo 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Jonny, It's just arrived in the post this morning. I will get it fitted and let you know any difference in noise / performance soon. It's simmilar to the competion filter I had previously: foam type impregnated with oil. Cleanable and reuseable after re-oiling. Cost breakdown Filter £36.00 Delivery £5.50 Sub Total £41.50 VAT £7.26 Total £48.76 Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonnyboyo 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Nice one. About the same price as the K&N. Will be interesting to see what difference it makes as i want to fit a uprated panel filter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Nice one. About the same price as the K&N. Will be interesting to see what difference it makes as i want to fit a uprated panel filter. Very little difference from a standard clean paper element, just knock the dead flies out of it occasionally, Jetex panel filters are much the same too. Don't forget to clean and re-oil them occasionally, they do tend to get a bit clogged with oil from the breather mainly, but it takes a couple of years to get really bad on a sound engine.

jonnyboyo 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Any difference on a (slow) valver would be good for me! When you say little difference Dave, is that with just the filter or airbox mods to? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RallyRaddo 0 Posted August 24, 2007 According to my neighbour, a few doors down, it is louder. She sent me a text yesterday thanking her for waking her up as I left the drive and drove past her house, waking her up, allowing her to get the refuse out in time for collection lorry, LOL Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
