Get a K&N, those cheap ones don't filter well.

Standard paper filter like Ryco will be just fine imo. Just clean or replace when necessary

You could go for a stock Toyota one, believe it or not they are high quality.

+2 on a k&n panel! Although you may pay up to $100 for one, you get with it a lifetime warranty. I don't believe there are any performance gains to be had by just dropping one in, but If you plan on keeping your car for a while it'll pay for it's self over the cost of replacing throw away units.

I noticed a difference with the K&N with my motorbike - pulls harder in the top end. But then again the filter is close to 4 TBs.

TRD would probably be like 300 bucks. Is it oiled cotton?

Not oil , Ive read oil filters stuff up MAF's. Cant remember what i paid. There is a Toyota dealer in Sydney that stocks them.  I chose it above the Toyota filter not for the quality but the wire reinforcement that is has considering i was going Forced Induction.

Thanks for the opinions guys i might go with TRD parts though sounds sensible to me after hearing about the MAF sensor.
