Hey,

As topic states, mate of mine just bought a wrx my 01, and she wants the same noise as my car makes..

So got a pod etc, the AFM in these cars is attached to the air box.

Obviously srews out, and i can get a custom pipe made for it..

But im sure there's adaptors already out there for this??

And ash, move it to technical thread after tomorrow just want ppl from vic to have read it.. to see if anyone here knows..

that kit looks expensive... the 1 my cuz got is just a short pipe (3" long or so) with that opening on it

Ive just been down to re customs with the misses and theres a wrx there that a has an actual made 3 inch pipe like you said and which that AFM just screws straight into instead of that long pipe.. just like the size of a normal skyline one.. much easier

so now i just have to find out where to get it.. It might just be a blitz or apexi adaptor..

thanks guys..

autobarn sell adaptors for like $15. my mates got the model after that, and from what i can see, it looks like the AFM is molded into the air box lid, i cant see how you would get a pod on there?

note the above may not actually be ture, only had a quick glance at it and never really bothered after that

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
