Just a few questions:Should I bother making a heat shield/blanket of the top of the pod? sorta semi sealing the airbox? Would it be better to leave the stock airbox n throw in a k&n panel filter + Cut out the bottom of the box and run some hose to feed extra air?If I do everything I plan on (minus cooler) how much power can I expect? Should I even bother getting it tuned without a decent cooler setup? Am I wasting my money on a tune without one?Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time a pod is worth it vs. stock airbox is if you are moving it to the drivers side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot days they suffer with the stock cooler though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob leave it without a cover for now, in winter it's pretty cold when u touch the filter, I'll just make a DIY additional snorkel till I go a proper fmic kitOn a side note, do you vic boys have little meets? I'd love to come along and get some ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know after that I will have to port the wastegate/actuator ectAlso stock fuel pump is fine till when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brods Member 433 Member For: 14y 6m 18d Gender: Male Posted 20/07/11 04:17 AM Share Posted 20/07/11 04:17 AM Won't get it to 350 safely without fuel pump. Bigger actuator helps control boost over 12psi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
