WPN XR6T Member 12 Member For: 17y 8m 9d Gender: Male Posted 04/04/07 11:23 AM Share Posted 04/04/07 11:23 AM SS Inductions make a Pod-in-a-box option called the 'Growler'. Advantages of this is you have a pod filter, in an air box shelted from engine heat, with a lager intake simular to the 'phoon/XR 8 setup. If that doesn't float your boat, go the 2'nd intake option. Get the XR8 one, because if you ask for the Typhoon one it'll cost you $$ due to the fact it has FPV on it!!! I have a SS Inductions 'Big Mouth' kit which is a bigger snorkle and a K&N Panel filter myself, and found that it does the trick, and a Edit will go a long way to more noise as the Turbo will be working harder making more Kw so on. My Edit has my T running 259 rwKw on 98 RON with standard internals, and it sounds great as the Turbo spools up and carrys on...All the best mate.Matt.

(xr8/fpv)also if anyone could tell me where would be the best place to look for these items it would be greatly appreciated.thankyou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
