I just installed a Trust Airinx on the weekend, and right now I'm considering taking it off. Does anyone else have one? It has to be the loudest piece of **** I've put in my car. Are they supposed to sound like an extra loud vacuum cleaner on intake and a horse when you let go of the throttle? I expected a little bit of extra noise, but this is ridiculous.

I was going to record a sample of it and put the MP3 of it up, but I just thought I'd check first. Maybe I've screwed up the installation.

I'm going to make an insulated box to go around it quiten it a bit (and hopefully only let in cold air). Will this make much of a difference?

As an aside, anyone who reckons a pod filter is a good substitute for the BOV noise is kidding themselves. It sounds terrible, nothing like the clean tccchhh sound of a BOV.

Cheers,

Michael

Yes it is supposed to be loud and if you get that "Horse" sound then your bov is not working efficiently enough.

Trust make a good filter but unfortunately it always comes last in filter tests with k&n first and HKS,blitz and apexi in close succsession.

If you have the option to get rid of it and get the apexi then do it.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Boostmeister:

The whole reason I bought it was based on a magazine comparison. It had equal best filtration and the best performance. I'll have to find the mag it was in.

Now, about the BOV not working efficiently enough, I've got the stock one. I thought that was good for a fair bit above the stock power. I don't think I'm too much above stock power levels, in fact I'm still running 7 psi boost. I used to have a Blitz atmo one in series with the stock BOV, but that went when I put the FMIC on. So do you think my stocker is faulty? I'll replace it anyway as I miss my BOV noise :)

I'll have a look for you. No promises though. It was a pretty good article actually. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought the pod on their recommendation. I reckon that since it's as loud as it is, it has to have good airflow (ie good performance) but the filtration would be down. The article didn't agree with that though, as it said it had good filtration.

I also think that it would be good if there was only one company that evaluated all the performance parts.

Yeah I'll check them out. The article I read may have even been from there. Not sure though.

I remember one thing the article said though, the reason they liked the Trust was because it was a dry filter, which meant it wouldn't foul the AFM with oil like many of the other ones can do.

Black33,

The article I read said it filtered very well, and since it was a dry filter, it wouldn't get oil on your AFM. It certainly isn't a BAD filter. I think all the filters mentioned are all the best of the best, so it isn't like you're tying a handkerchief over the inlet pipe or anything.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
