the panel filter change showed about 2-3 bhp gain on the mr2.

the cone filters did nothing for BHP but then on a mid engine car it was sucking in the hot air straight from the engine.

all the induction kits saw an improvement in mpg

with the diesel box it should see a small gain.
You are quite correct.
Diesels require dense, cold air and lots of it!!
The more air you can feed it, the better.
