that's what I was thinking. standard filter with battery in a box in engine bay = no cop trouble. plus I really dont like pod filters

There's a thread atm discussing how to quieten down the spool noise of turbo side intakes. Rap1d I think it was, replied confirming that muffling the pipe/box will quieten it down. Pretty much doing what they've done with the stock box - using the square crosses on the bottom and the way the pipe is made (corrugated sorta).

So if you want a loud spool use alloy pipes and make the bottom of the box smooth. Otherwise if you want it quiet..try use as much factory stuff as much

maybe I could incorporate that gay induction cone and reduce the noise lol. that would almost bend straight to the battery

Even with standard filter if your running more boost it will be loud. Who cares if it's loud if it's legal?

lol nah just bullshlting around abit. I want more noise otherwise I wouldnt do it. would be good if I could utilise all stock part could do it exchange.

Ok thanks ive sent him a message about the intake kit.

From what ive read there isnt much power to be gained from a turbo side pod? money to power ratio I mean..

I was planning on just a tune and the pod intake to start untill I get back from work next time..

yeah youre right the injectors would still hold you back - go filter injectors and tune and you will see some good gains. also if you can stretch it grab a hiflow cat too. stock intercooler will be at its limit but you will get decent power. say 300

edit: a turbo side filter will make a big difference to inlet temps if it is in a proper box. this will increase hp too as air will not be running over the top of the hot engine

I emailed Simon at nizpro and he said leave the injectors till 320kw, and the fuel pump is fine till 400kw.

He recommended doing cat and intercooler with battery relocation set up..

I've been reading on the exhaust forum for days but maybe you could advise .. What's the power limit with..

A) just a hi flo cat

B) hi flo cat and dump pipe

Seems people suggest get the dump pipe and cat for now, some note just to get the cat?

I'm getting off topic here!

if you can afford it go dump and cat straight up - less mucking round. 320 on stock ba injectors!! I wouldnt think that would be possible. if you are going to tune then you need to do everything first then tune. otherwise it will get very expensive for you. if I was you buy all your parts, then fit them, then get it tuned. I might not be the best person to advise you as my car is stock but I have seen enough to know that doing it in small stages will cost you alot in tuning

^^this. Plenty of good injectors floating around for $200~ 2nd hand.

Just a hiflo cat will do the job.But the dump an cat sections bolt in so no cutting.

What started as intake and tune will end up being the works if you listen to us.
