Without a heat shield you are more than likely to lose power as the pod will be sucking in hot air from the engine.

get an apexi pod filther, non oiled, therefore legal, and get it inclosed in a custom box, or at least have a partition to block off the hot air

My mate has one of those big Yellow HKS pods....sounds like a beast!

You probably don't want to hear this, but I would recommend keeping the stock airbox an putting an aftermarket panel filter in it. eg K&N

All will say, "Oh yeah, but what about when you get a FMIC"

And I would say, do something like this.....

I have one of those HKS pods with a custom heat shield, very noisy when turbo is spooling up. But I think the best pod to get is one of those Apexi filters. They were shown to have the best filtration ability and provided equal (maybe a little better) power increase over the other filters tested (HKS, Blitz, K&N). There was a post on here a while ago which gave the link for this test.
