An induction kit is quite simply an air filter. Most cars have air filters mounted in an air box. These filters are generally constructed of paper which filters out the particles from the air and prevents these from getting into the engine.

In diesels the cats are two way devices and run in unregulated mode (ie. no O2 sensor like a petrol car).
