Does it make any difference to shorten the pipe from the front turbo housing to the standard crossover and add a pod? I have added a circle around the pipe I am talking about.

I bought another pipe to cut up so I could keep the original intact and under my bed, I recommend doing the same.

I originally cut the pipe how you describe and added a pod, made sh!t loads of induction noise and sounded mad, took the BOV off and it dosed very loud. However, once summer hit the car is a slug on 35 degree days. During winter it was fine.

I have just moved the pod to the position of the airbox so that air is a bit cooler. This is where the second pipe comes in handy. I used the original and the cut up pipe to do this. The cut up section which I didn't use as a dose pipe nicely locates the pod in the airbox position which looks stock.

Performance wise I can't tell which works better, the intuitive thing would be the airbox location is better but once you get heat soaked it doesn't matter anyway

Yes, car will feel like driving a GETZ with all the hot air it will be sucking in

haha speaking of spare pipe, thanks Henz. The dose is long and strong sraight off the turbo!

Didn't notice much drop off in winter though, summer sucks balls!

Best way to do it so you can keep your original pipe

All these parts u can get from autobarn.

3" Silicon Joiner

90 Degree Bend, 3" Obviously

Cheap, mushroom style pod (Bigger ones may fit, not 100%)

Assemble

And remove the original pipe and squeeze on using your original clamps. Too easy
