I have the APS stage 2 air box on my T along with various other mods that equate to around 260 or so at the wheels.

I've got the APS Phase II and have 280rwkw, so I don't think you should have any problems at 260rwkw.

:spoton:

Do you notice the airbox making a huge sucking noise when flooring the car?

I'm assuming you have a manual as well. Good tune for 280kw. What boost are you running?

I've got the auto and am running about 12psi boost, don't have a boost gauge so couldn't tell you exactly.

I do hear a noise from the air box when I boot it but it's usually drowned out by screeching tyres and the turbo spooling :w00t2:

But seriously I think the noise may be a combination of your turbo spooling up and your airbox sucking air. :spoton:

Mines not boosted or staged, but has a second cold air intake under the front headlight with a K&N filter.(very similar to Geeas).

Put the boot in and you can hear it sucking like a $2 Wh*re :lol: Then being a manual when you change gear you get a massive air flitter noise from the intercooler and probably a bit of blow off in there as well! :spoton:

From my experience you can never get enough air particularly the cold stuff. However if you were going to start boosting, and changing exhaust's etc it would be best to have her dynoed as you are freeing up the restrictions on the car hence changing it's performance from the original settings. As each car is different you can then taylor your fuel, air and boost ratio's to suit your personal mods, by doing that you can conpensate your settings for the amount of air you are getting and not have to worry whether the car is getting enough, and pinging! This means that she should be fine as you have the APS kit on it it will have been dynoed as such :spoton:

open your air box take the filter out and have a look at the size of the hole cut in the front of the air box you will see it is at least four times bigger then the original hole for the snorkle ....... I would stick with the aps intake.
