Hi i remember seeing not to long ago a custom stainless steel pipe that went from the afm to the turbo that was ment to reduce restriction and i just wanted to know what it is called and where i can get one? Also do people notice a difference? Thanx

Not unless you have a high kilowatt application thats pulling 230kw++ and the only reason you'd notice a difference is because at these power levels the standard rubberised induction pipes can suck themselves closed and severly bottleneck airflow. so yeh, unless yours is sucking itself closed you'll notice no difference

Only if ur using a std airbox. If your gonna cut and paste, cut and paste the whole story.

If your using a pod, you wount have any issues with the std rubber intake. But it is a bit ghey so if u feel like making t better good on u.

High kilowatt 230kw :):):(:)

Thats funny tell me another one

Mate if you want one have a look in the For Sale - Business Traders section as there is a place that sells them.

that pipe is not suitable for stock air boxes. only pods. I asked him. prob. too long or maybe wrong angle.

I'm quite sure i'm not cut/pasting anything retard :devil:

What i'm saying is there's no point getting one of these, unless your running decent power or want to dose :P

Yeh but he wants one because he's heard it reduces restriction, he also wants to know if anyone notices differences, so i'm assuming he's looking at it from a performance aspect

anyways wtf are ppl doing awake at 2am on a sunday night

How do you know for certain it doesn't reduce restiction. He may be right.

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
