Nice one.

I am a firm believer that the stock crossover gets so hot it negates the fact that it has a cold air source.If you doubt me go for a run and feel it with the BACK of your hand.

Having said that an external air source would be that much better.

How about posting up what you did.

I agree mate , I think the stock crossover is a heat source to be reckoned with.. or pissed off all together..

And the SS Inductions kit looks like the biggest waste of money I have ever seen. It still feeds through the airbox and 3ft of pipework first , oh and through the interheater/crossover section.. Oh and if it provides the CLAIMED 18rwkw gain , then my mod must give a 36rwkw gain because it goes TWICE as hard lol...

I just had another look at this, I think if you chucked the battery in the boot or moved it to the other side then knocked up a air box to put the pod in it would actually be a pretty good setup for $200.

Heatwrap will always work over that engine cause its so hot. You can make the pod filter setup like sashas yourself by modifying a piece of 45 silicon hose and hacking up the standard piece of plastic that goes from cross to turb. You will need to have the bend in the cross replicated and custom made though - to go from throttle bod to the rubber pipe.

I have just finished modifying my intake pipework to eliminate the crossover assembly, relocate the BOV and shorten overall intake length. Intake temps are expected to have dropped dramatically and turbo seems to spool much faster than before. Also torque into 3rd gear has increased HEAPS..Pulls very hard. Im impressed with the increase..Also sounds awesome coming on song.

Hey... this is exactly what I want to do.. All I want to know is where? What? How much? I want to eliminate the crossover and maybe relocate the battery to the boot or otherside of enginebay, and get the 4" rapid intake/airbox, or mayr not one that big...
