Has anyone used one of these K & N apollos on there Vectra B ? What BHP can you expect in an increase?

Well if just get the pod alone then dont expect any major increases in power, all the hot air it'll be sucking in from the engine bay you most likely decrese performance.

BUT
A setup like this might get you a little gain, notice how the pipe relocates the pod to a different and most likely cooler area.

So yeh, get the pipe as well.

I was considering getting a heat shield for it aswell, i thought that the apollo kit came with the pipe?

I googled the kn filter and it didnt mention anything about a pipe with the kit. The kit only comes with all the connection attachment bits but i might be wrong.
A heat shield is also a good idea.
