the performance loss from running an unshielded pod is small. the air is heated by the act of being compressed by the turbo, then is cooled by the intercooler before it goes into the motor.

I always thought that running cold air into the Air Pod was a advantage than running hot air? Why would everyone have boxes and heat sheilds to stop the hot air from going in then?

The turbo will heat up the air but if the air is already cold it shouldnt heat up as much as hot air would......

"the performance loss from running an unshielded pod is small" doesnt sound right to me. at the traffic lights with an unshielded pod im sure it heats up quite abit thus creating a loss of power. I remember someone put a probe and got temperature readings which were pretty high. imagine in the aussie summers we have been having. not to sure if it would be a very safe thing.

on a car thats using the stocker boost levels, i reckon it would without a doubt.

the stocker I/C seems to fail and hurt performance on increased levels (something it wasnt designed for)

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
