Ross from works auto put one of those hurricane filters on for me yesterday, they are supposed to be a huge improvement over the HKS pod filter. Driving home tonight I'd put my foot down with 12psi of boost and it'd cut out as soon as it hit 12psi, so I dropped it back down to 9psi and it was misfiring bigtime at the top end and didnt feel like it was pulling past 5000rpm... any idea's? think I'll go back to the HKS pod and get a refund.

Ken - did Jeff say anything to you about the car and what i said?? I hope I didn't get you in  trouble

Nah , Jeff wasn't there and as I said , it's not a problem.

Only saw the car you were looking at outside in the dark and rain.

Didn't look too bad but can look at it closer once you decide if it's the one you want.

Cheers

Ken

Lack of restriction causing overboost and lean mixtures.

Seems strange cos I didn't think there would be that much diff between pod filters.

    • Whilst the brewery had good beer, I didn't rate the pork knuckle, the meat was good, but, there was no crackling, the skin was just thick and chewy Will return at some stage for the beer, but, I will wash the beer down with chips Plus, no sauerkraut, in what world do people serve pork knuckle without sauerkraut, they did serve apple slaw with it, which was nice, but.......#sauerkraut the world
    • Wow yeah ok. Given how specific you are about your car, I'm very surprised you are happy to do that.  As a bare minimum, without having a wideband gauge in the car or running it up on the dyno to check mixtures, there is no way I'd do that to my car.  You beat me to it, was going to say just this. 
    • Yeah - that's not true. Larger turbos flow more at the same boost. By definition. I've always found it funny when the claim of same flow same power because same boost is made. The turbine is larger, therefore will put up a lower restriction to flow at any given flow, cf the stock one. Hence, you need less boost to make the same flow through the whole system. Hence, when you have the same boost as before, you must have more flow. -5s are a pretty decent bit bigger than stock.
    • That's basically how I've been driving my R33 for a while now. GTIII-SS running wastegate boost. It makes no more power than stock because the turbos aren't flowing any more air than stock. Eventually though I need to fix this so it can actually drive as it should.
    • If this was my own car, I would pull about 5 degrees off the CAS, run a wideband, and if that seems ok, send it.
