gains are minimal if anything! but if you do get an induction kit get a good brand one! and dont expect any difference except in noise tbh

You wont see any bhp gains at all - the induction noise is nice and it may smooth acceleration but actual power gains are nil.

Dont believe the eBay hype ... but dont discount them althogether. RR tests on the kits have proved power gains. For example, the Civic Type R K&N Typhoon give 10.4hp on the rolling road, so they do work.
But 3bhp is usually the most to expect on the MR2, which on the road, is not really noticeable. However they do sound GREAT! And if fitted along with a decent exhaust like the new Mongoose, then you will have a much easier breathing engine which will feel more responsive and fun to drive!
