the standard AFM sits inside the airbox, but u need the adapter from the AFM for your pod, if thats the one your talking about.

As for the pod, i know the K&N fits perfectly, not sure on others as i havent tried them , but if they are a similiar size they will fit in the box, as far as i know teh apexi one fits in with no problems .

if the hks is a mushroom pod, i think it may be to big to fit it.

NOTE: To anyone ive sold one to can u list your pod, as a refrence to others

Yeah the HKS one is a mushroom pod, it bolts on directly to the AFM. So if the AFM sits inside the shield then the pod would sit in there as well... providing the HKS one fits in the first place. Might just convince me to get that Apexi one! :teehee:

Received mine today, putting it in tonight. I also grabbed 2meters of rubber edging for like $6 and edged any part that may come in contact with the paint. I'm also putting in heat shield foam on the inside. Good quality product and great value considering what others are charging.

Looks good Dan, and i might actually put that foam stuff in my own box and see how it goes.

Xizor: Ive got a few more made up in my spare time, but never really re-advertised them, but for anyone intrested i still have a few

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
