that looks more like an oil catch can to match an exedy clutch.

as for the template, are you just wanting a partition or a box system? if you are just wanting a partition, just get some thich cardboard and make one up. its not hard. just have to cut out 2 gaps for the intake pipes, and any for the intercooler pipes.

Ive got a partition with lid for sale at the moment - $50 in the carparts&accessories4sale section.

worked well, although Ive now replaced it with a proper CAI, getting everything ready for the hiflow turbo >_<

up here in freezing QLD you don't have to have the pod enclosed, just a fixed mounting bracket.

its a bit of a funny reg that one, ive been told both and was pulled over recently and was told it had to be covered or its defectable. Needless to say i went and bought a pod enclosure, some cops say it is some say it isnt.

it was the boondal hoon squad that pulled me over. i had the pod mounted and they didn't say anything about it. another 2 of my mates got puled over, both with pods, and by the hoon squad, again nothing. and one of the other guys asked the cop about it as well and he said as long as they are mounted, not just hanging there they are fine. they booked both the other 2 for various other problems though, like cutting the front bar for the intercooler, atmo bov, 1 had a sports steering wheel which was too small, and then the usual, bald tyres, too low, etc.

also because the filter is nearly as big as the bucket the bucket would get sucked in a bit, so air would only get to the top of the filter, not much would get to the sides. i'd have to say that the tupperware box using the panel filter is the best so far.

it looks professional like this

not really. would look better painted black. but even a hard will suck in a little. might work a little better if it was t shaped with the cold air pipe coming in the side of the bucket instead of the bottom so that the air is going straight into the filter.

Might use a similar tub as a template, get it all to fit, then take it off and make one out of aluminium sheet.

If worried about the look of that paint one, could possible fibreglass over the top of it

i prefer the tuperware box as it uses 2 intake pipes, both going onto the filter, so the air isn't hitting the front of it then having to travel around it. and the box is big enough to let the air flow around the filter.

This is what i have done to get air there, and just changed inside the engine bay around a little bit today and i'll post fotos of that tomorrow. I figured that if u have the pod filter joined to the induction pipe, the induction pipe goes under water (deep puddle) the suction will suck water up. I had the same sorta set up with the pod filter down behind the front spoiler but didnt feel comfortable in heavy rain or with puddles, so this is what i ended up with.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
