Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the vr one is the right size/shape but just too small.Can't believe the aftermarket hasn't come up with one yet. We get useless overpriced replacements of the factory one when moving the airbox closer to the turbo is a much better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All oil filters (k&n) are illegal. But a dry panel filter and big intercooler is legal. This is in Vic, not sure bout the rest.Don't think dry filters are all crap either, there are good ones out there they just don't last as long and are not reusable.

Once I work out dimensions of airboxs ill do a couple dyno runs to see the difference between box and race intake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
