Pod... Waste of money at your power level.

Get a decent full turbo back exhaust and fmic on to it.

Grab a cheap bleeder and push boost up to 1bar on the dyno.

You may have to replace the fuel pump if it hasn't already, mine began leaning out on ~13psi and was dangerously lean at 1bar.

That should keep you happy for a little while.

You may want to look at a pod or CAI in to the stock air box. I have done the cai in to the stock airbox.

Then save your penny's for a highflow of sorts (slide or hks2530) and either a full ecu or remap. Remap is the cheapest way out of it.

Ok I know the car has a aftermarket Aplexi exhaust on it.

What is a bleeder? I am replacing fuel pump now, old one died. Replacing it with a stock one. What is a CAI? Highflow is a turbo? How much for a remap? I keep hearing about the Aplexi power fc. Is that expensive? How much do tuners usally charge just to tune?

Sorry learning about tuning now.

Bleeder = Manual boost controller = Non electronic

CAI = Cold Air Intake

Highflow is a standard turbo that has been hi flowed to allow up to 18psi &/or around 250rwkw without dying.

The rest just depends on who you go through for the tune etc

So which is better a CAI or pod? So I can hook either one of these two to my stock Air flow meter without having to retune?

Is it cheaper to highflow my turbo or buy a new one?

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
