that doesnt make it legal, if you are running another intake mod already ie. front mount that box wont save you from anything. Not sure where your from but in vic anyway.

if you have ONLY a pod filter you dont HAVE to box it for any other purpose then heat soak, which for day to day use is barely worth losing sleep over.

+1 i agree with alex...not worth it..i was think of making one myself...but when my mate done his and th rouble he went through to do it, it wasnt wroth it and it made hardly any difference..

also about it being legal, if the cops know what they looking at, they can easly ask you to show whats inside the box...if there is a pod, bam they will get you for it....well thats what i know....can be wrong...

Fair enough, so what could i do for a cold air intake system without cutting holes?

I've tried putting the pod behind the front bar but when it rains the pod becomes wet.

If anyone has any previous experiences/setups let me know cheers.

like james mentioned, check the DIY secition and the guy with username WYTSKY made on for his car and i am pretty sure the cops didn give him troubles...if you not as much of a handy man, i think he can make you one for some extra cost...

here is the link to his DIY

just use the factory airbox?

solves your problem, works perfectly fine, and then let's you run a FMIC.

win win win really.

^^ What Ash said or,

Remove the heat shield or make hole in the heat shield and put your stock cold air take back on so it feeds air to the pod.

If you feel the need to still have a pod on.

Hi and thanks but wont it be illegal to have a front mount and pod ?

to what i know it is...thats why just get a standard air box...they work perfectly like ash said...his car is a rally quick track car and he uses standard (i think) coz they are better...i have spent money into going standard...so if you are spending money and dont have standard box go standard...otherwise leave it standard... ;)

I've got a proper made one had it for 2 years now and i havent got harrassed. its not legal no because techically your hiding youd Pod filter or one of ur supposed 2 intake mods second being your cooler or CAI. u get caught go put airbox back on and done.. if u have one

Nice mod Arthur...but if you're going to do that, you might as well just use a panel filter? I though the whole point of the pod was to have a loud intake sound...is that any louder than the factory airbox?

LOL NICE.. shine torch down their though gg

Yeah am in process of trying to make some plastic covers as u can just see the filter poking out,

Also to cover the old cooler pipe holes..Bit trickier than i first anticipated, but ill get there..

Edit 4 birds..yeah bottom of airbox is cut out, you can hear it and it draws air from the holes underneath where the cooler pipes used to be as well as the snorkel..I ran it for a bit with panel filter and box stock but it didnt feel as quick..

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
