I would just like to say that I bought and installed my new pod filter today. I'm a first timer with the pod, as I was a firm believer in the hi-flow panel filter in the standard box theory. Well, let me tell you now that I installed my pod, I ain't going back!! :)

I was accustomed to the sound of my slight induction noise, on boost, and a slight swoosh of my stockie plumb back BOV, when off the accelerator. I can now safely say that was a thing of the past.

I after I put the pod on, I took it for a test drive and I could not believe my ears!! This pod is so damn loud!! I know that a lot of you here have already experienced this feeling as most of you all run pods, but from my point of view it came as a shock. I didn’t think that there would be that big of a difference from what I had.

You hear the rush of the induction as the boost builds and then it turns into this surge of turbine noise and then I release my accelerator and Whooosh!! I suddenly have a BOV!! :wassup:

I want to also state that in terms of a power increase the car seemed the same as before, which is really saying something, considering that it is sucking in all this hot air. Also my temp doesn't move, whether I’m stopped at the lights or driving, it just sits where it's supposed to be.

I have to say the Blizt Sus Core LM pod is great, I’d hate to think how loud the Sus Power LM pod is, as this is loud enough and half the price. Also it filters a bit better than the Sus Power LM, which is a bonus. :(

Next on the agenda, heat shield and cold air intake.

:jump:

Well you won't notice the difference on your temp meter as thats only your coolant temperature! its not any indication of whether your engine intake charge is any warmer or not! That is what makes the difference in power.

You also probably won't notice any lack of power (if there is any) just by feel.. it will be on the dyno where it may be noticeable.

but yeah, its all about the noise.. its a noisy one!

Sorry to be a pessimist but that noise becomes annoying after a while. I noticed when I went back to the stock air box. It is fun stomping on the accelerator going past bus stops full of people tho :)

You say the pod has the same power output as a crappy stock filter in the stock box? What does that say about investing in a pod?

Pods are an absolute waste of money unless they have some sort of CAI. A hi po panel filter in the stock air box will out perform an unshielded pod all day at any rev. You must’ve noticed a severe loss of bottom end torque at the very least?

    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
