Pod Filter

[blinko]

hey i just install a pod filter into my r32.. im just wondering if im going to have a problem with dust geting into my engine bay because there is no air box anymore. The pod filter is also very load when sucking in the air.. just wondering if this is normal.. thank you

Why would installing a pod effect how much dust gets into the engine bay?

But yes the louder induction noise is normal.

how'd you get the snorkel to sit there? mine doesnt want to sit there properly?

[blinko]

i dont mean the pod filter would cause more dust.. because there is no box anymore the dust would just flow with the air from the road into the engine bay.. my snorkel has a piece of rubber in the connection with the other pipe that lets it sit up properly, it can still be pulled of very easily but at least it stays there..

all air pods make a sucking noise,

well every car i have owed n mates cars have all made the sucking noise

[blinko]

yeh i understand that they would make the sucking noise i just wasnt expecting it to be so loud.. but yeh im sure its all fine.. do u think i will need to make a heat sheild for it or will the heat sheild have no affect because its a turbo and all.

[Buddy]

no man i dont think u need a sheild 4 it, it will be fine. but if u want a pod u best to get a good quality one it makes all the differene

[blinko]

yeh i will get a better one i just had that one on hand when i decided to do it lol

[ToF]

LOL!! Actually unsealed pods are actually less effective than that good old restrictive airbox you just removed. There are plenty of threads explaining why if you go pod you should seal it off with a heatshield so I won't get into it.

At the end of the day it's your car and your choice as to which mods you believe is best.

no cai means hot air going through filters heat is bad for performance so get a cai setup

would it really matter if hot or warm are goes into my filter once it hits the turbo its going to be hot anyways..

[Intensevil]

The turbo will heat the air up, but if the air is already hot, its just going to heat it up even more than normal.

Cold air = denser,

denser = more oxygen in the given volume

more oxygen = more powaaaaaaaaa
