I installed the ITG panel filter for the Euro this week at the recommendation of Peekay. It is a direct replacement for the OEM filter. ITG are commonly used in race cars including F1.
Purchased from these guys for $150. Not the cheapest replacement filter but it will last the life of the car.

I have the filter installed in the Icebox. The guys at fuelsaver also installed a stencil which is glued to the lid of the icebox as they do not consider it to form a perfect seal. This cost $30.
Results? I have been driving for a few days now with the ITG filter and the response is definately better. As the box is now sealed better it is also quieter. It wasn't the easiest filter to fit as with the stencil you need to push hard on the Icebox lid to line up the screws. The only other downside is I have some resonance (slight vibration sound) in the engine bay at 60kph but only with WOT in 4th gear and up. I had this originally with the Icebox but somehow it went away.
In terms of performance - it is an incremental improvement - not something massively different to the Icebox foam filter but enough to notice. A gain is a gain. I wouldn't say this mod is great bang for buck - but at least I know my Icebox lid is sealed 100% and this is the last filter I will put in the car. Oh - and it probably has the best reputation of all filters on the market.
