The std dv is more than fine as stage 1.

As above, the stock one is fine, just check it for condition to make sure its not split. You're far better spending some cash on a panel filter.

I would just keep the std filter. I ran my car at stage 2+ with the std paper filter and it ran just fine. All these high flow panel filters don't flow much more air than the paper. I cant find the website but a test was done to compare the flow rates from after market filters of all types i.e cotton gauze, foam etc. The difference in pressure drop was 0.90% from the highest flowing to the paper filter. The main restrictions are down to the design of the intake rather than the filter itself.   
I did have a K&N fitted but got a boost fluctuations. I refitted the paper filter and the boost fluctuation was gone with no detriment to performance.

The guys at Rtech gave me the Rev G filter due to the aggressive map style. SO YOU should change.
