thanks for the info man. I might take my door trim off again sometime and have a look at the drivers side as the passengers side I think somebody has already extended the cuts in the door but for some reason I think the drivers side was untouched. I do have a photo of the passenger side with just the pod and no speaker in it.

Also I did make note with mine that if you look in the middle picture you will see the top of the speaker hits the door trim where it curves inwards but that wasn't an issue for me at all because it just basically sat on top and wasn't putting any real force on the speaker.

I have included the photo of the passenger side pod which I think had metal already slightly chopped out of it before i got the car just to give you some sort of idea on how mine turned out. Also i guess another thing to factor in will be magnet depth and such. I might try and get the snake cam in there as well when I remove the trim just to see how much room I really do have because judging by eye it looks like there is about a cm or 2 between my speaker magnet and that white circle thing that goes with the power window.

Also I don't know much about this kind of stuff but just thought maybe if people put in some info on what has worked for them and what hasn't it might help others out.

Well thanks for the help. Much appreciated. After measuring and such, it was possible my 6" speakers didn't have to touch the inward curve of door trim, or any of it. So might just have to redo the templates :( but this time i'll customize both the hole position and screw holes (sounds bad, for the dirty mofos) to make sure everything fits. Will report back when done (may take a while).

I had the same issue as tyresbro where the holes didn't line up and the actualy template needed a bit of modifying (but this is probably due to the holes not lining up.

Also found that using 6mm mdf worked fine with the speakers I am using, but cut out a ring to boost the width to 12mm just where the speaker is so as to make sure the trim fit on with minimal ease.

Using the thinner board worked a treat!

the problem with that install the MDF willl get wet and expand/rot . you need to paint/seal the wood after you get it cut and drilled , A drying/ undercoat works a treat. not the stuff that stays messy and tar like but one that dries. or even some 2 dollar matte black works better then nothing.

you should drip protect the speaker back as well. duct tape over the top 1/4 of the speaker or a old plastic butter bowl cut and melted works well or store bought baffles ??

speaker wires should be water tight or treated to not corrode from water

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
