I would just like to say that I bought and installed my new pod filter today. I'm a first timer with the pod, as I was a firm believer in the hi-flow panel filter in the standard box theory. Well, let me tell you now that I installed my pod, I ain't going back!! :)

I was accustomed to the sound of my slight induction noise, on boost, and a slight swoosh of my stockie plumb back BOV, when off the accelerator. I can now safely say that was a thing of the past.

I after I put the pod on, I took it for a test drive and I could not believe my ears!! This pod is so damn loud!! I know that a lot of you here have already experienced this feeling as most of you all run pods, but from my point of view it came as a shock. I didn’t think that there would be that big of a difference from what I had.

You hear the rush of the induction as the boost builds and then it turns into this surge of turbine noise and then I release my accelerator and Whooosh!! I suddenly have a BOV!! :wassup:

I want to also state that in terms of a power increase the car seemed the same as before, which is really saying something, considering that it is sucking in all this hot air. Also my temp doesn't move, whether I’m stopped at the lights or driving, it just sits where it's supposed to be.

I have to say the Blizt Sus Core LM pod is great, I’d hate to think how loud the Sus Power LM pod is, as this is loud enough and half the price. Also it filters a bit better than the Sus Power LM, which is a bonus. :(

Next on the agenda, heat shield and cold air intake.

:jump:

Well you won't notice the difference on your temp meter as thats only your coolant temperature! its not any indication of whether your engine intake charge is any warmer or not! That is what makes the difference in power.

You also probably won't notice any lack of power (if there is any) just by feel.. it will be on the dyno where it may be noticeable.

but yeah, its all about the noise.. its a noisy one!

Sorry to be a pessimist but that noise becomes annoying after a while. I noticed when I went back to the stock air box. It is fun stomping on the accelerator going past bus stops full of people tho :)

You say the pod has the same power output as a crappy stock filter in the stock box? What does that say about investing in a pod?

Pods are an absolute waste of money unless they have some sort of CAI. A hi po panel filter in the stock air box will out perform an unshielded pod all day at any rev. You must’ve noticed a severe loss of bottom end torque at the very least?

    • Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years. 
    • Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it
    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
