For an induction kit I would recommend Apexi.  Have a read of this link, and make up your own mind though.

For an induction kit I would recommend keeping your mazda airbox, may be with a K&N filter, and saving yerself £250 - and putting it toward an ECU so you can safely run full exhaust :D

BUT, if u HAVE to have an induction kit, Apexi is the best IMO, always has been, HKS and Blitz are not well reputed for their filtration abilities. Shit, the HKS thing is a piece of sponge FFS! :eek:

Pic attached (sorry about the size, cant b arsed to mess about with it) of the front mount intercooler version of the Apexi kit. The stock turbo kit is a bit different looking...
