G'day All,

I recently bought a Trust pod filter actually from RedLineGTR and could not be happier. The pod fitted perfectly and was a breeze to install.

I only have one concern, how loud should the suction noise be. Now I know, the main reason why I bought this, was for the sound, but from the interior, boy, does it sound loud!! :P

I guess I'm just kinda concerned that maybe I havent installed it right and perhaps the air is getting sucked in from somewhere else..........that could be bad. But fromwhat I could see, all the clamps, screws are bolted on tight, so yeah can somebody possibly describe how loud it should be?

I guess if I had to describe it, it sounds like a bov that is really obvious in the low end range. So much taht I cant even hear the turbo spooling up. In the upper end it's now so obvious.

Thoughts? Thanks to all who reply

I fitted a K&N filter and its loud too.

I was getting a bit concerned about it ... but every girl who ever gets in the car asks "whats that noise? is that the turbo? I love that noise!!!"

So im gonna leave it as is :)

mine WAS very frk loud but i am temporarily trying the airbox with a new filter - back to the pod again in a couple of weeks.

Most POD's are loud in skylines I think, except Ash's :P

Thanks Guys,

And KingKW13, you are NOT getting my stereo :P

But yeah, it does sound mad, I don't care if they do say I lose performance! hehe. It just sounds so agressive, I'm getting dirty looks whereever I go. And on the freeway today.........priceless.

Oh there is one concern though, rumour has it, that can actually damage or create more wear to the engine, since the foam filter does not filter as well, compared to say a paper filter. I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but I could not find anything using a search. May I ask, is there any substance to these rumours???

    • 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?
