I have the apexi power intake pod filter. It seems to get good ratings.

Although, my car came with the pod already on there.

If you are putting a pod on for noise reasons, louder turbo spool and so you can hear the stock blow off then fine. But if you are doing it purely for power dont worry about it.

Cheers mate, buying one now

Make sure you keep the stock cold air intake on to feed air to the pod.

Separate the cold air intake from the air box and bolt it back on the car.

Sorry to ask, but are you saying don't put a pod filter on for power? Or am i misinterpreting?

Because pod filters honestly don't net any significant gains in power on a car with minimal mods.

ahh ok, so what extent of mods would be helped by a pod filter? turbo-back exhaust or even more?

thanks

haha did i not post that right at the top.

basically the airbox is fine till you start replacing the turbo etc. even then its not always a big difference.

but if you want to hear the turbo then they are fantastic

From what I had understood, stock airbox setup is fine (minimal differences) up till approximately 300rwkw, but I may be wrong ..

just getting my head round it. i'd always thought they were a performance addition, not just for sound and looks. i've been told by random mates that clean air to the intake manifold can add like 5% (eg: pod filter and fairly straight piece of 3" pipe)

A pod without a shield will just suck hot air from the engine bay giving you less power, your better of using a good quality filter in your stock air box.

But if your fully sick then physics doesnt mess with you.

This is a good site with results from testing not here say.

They could be talking about other cars with crapper airboxes. I know my old commodore loved the pod filter over the airbox, although i did have it mounted under the guard for heat shielding as well. It was also a 4" pipe with 4" super long pod hehe. The commy airboxes are crap though.
