southern_tango Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Got tired of the wiseling sound of the turbo(i'm not young any more...)so on saturday i took the pod filter off the car and put the air box back in place...and i looks to take longer to get to full boost(much longer)pod was apexi and airbox has a apexi panel filter so basically it's the same;before it used to jump in full boost now it takes a while and the car car feels sluggish so don't know what's going on...Any ideas????????????

bentwagon Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Can you use the pod inside the airbox? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/386022-back-to-factory-air-box-and-running-sluggier/#findComment-6156873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
southern_tango Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Can you use the pod inside the airbox? No ,as i said it's an apexi power intake ,even when it's smaller than K&Ns and other Brands still doesn't fit...
