Do I need to oil the ITG?

The ITG came preoiled in a plastic bag so luckily you won’t need to oil it until the first cleaning. The oil on the ITG is not excessive at all, just enough to give it a slight tackyness/stickyness it needs to capture the dust. During the test drive I felt the same performance as the Ramair, so no loss there.

How hard is it to get RamAir foam to stick to ITG?

It’s somewhat difficult due to the curved nature of the Ramair filter. The material doesn’t feel as dense on the ITG as the Ramair, but that was expected as it is a 3 layered foam instead of 2 layered, so I assume the lower portions are finer and the top portion is a course filter.
