Got tired of the wiseling sound of the turbo(i'm not young any more...)so on saturday i took the pod filter off the car and put the air box back in place...and i looks to take longer to get to full boost(much longer)pod was apexi and airbox has a apexi panel filter so basically it's the same;before it used to jump in full boost now it takes a while and the car car feels sluggish so don't know what's going on...Any ideas????????????

Can you use the pod inside the airbox?

No ,as i said it's an apexi power intake ,even when it's smaller than K&Ns and other Brands still doesn't fit...

Intake leak near the afm?

Nope,checked that already (and damaged a hose clamp over tightening,but replaced it) BTW is it comon to have black deposits in the mesh of the AFM?

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
