[CaL]

dunc i like your knowlege lol....shall i just leave it?

 

[dac69er]

up to you mate. i might just try it just out of interest. if you try it let me know what its like!

It wouldn't matter if you drilled holes, fitted cold air feeds or had magic pixies with cold air wands, the EFI pipe running across the exhaust manifold is going to heat soak like a mofo.

If you want some real gains, quite being a tight ass and get a filter off the turbo behind the bumper.

im just dreading putting the pipe back on as its just a bitch of a job

Damn you can say that again!!

As for the comments on the meshed turbo, I pulled 179bhp and 152 lbs.ft with mesh.

Go figure

maybe you did but i was wondering what difference it would actually make over stock setup with a panel filter?

when i finally get round to removing the aircon i will have a filter behind the bumper but until then ill have to put up with whatever setup is best at the moment!

 

[lanxter]

if you set your fuel pressure to 5psi and turn the boost up to 1.2 bar it would go like stink, give it a try

 

[dac69er]

anything less than about 2bar fuel pressure and the idle gets erratic!

Well, no restriction at all (The EFI pipe is shit) and cold air would come from behind the bumper. Not a great amount, but it won't all be warm.


LOL @ The fuel pressure comments. :homer:

 

[dac69er]

im gonna do it either this week some time or at the weekend! can you feel the difference with the efi pipe off and just mesh on the turbo?

 

[Greg0r]

LOL

pisserr........

don't replace the hks element, it sucks. You can buy a cheap decorators spounge the real plasticy ones and cut it to shape. They are made from the exact same stuff and only cost 99 pence.

You should notice an increase in response. Keep an eye on the boost level though, removing the EFI pipe will promote an increase in boost, which isn't good if you don't have the mods to support it.

There are several reasons HKS spend millions developing their air filters, and using the 'same stuff' that cost 99p from uncle bob's nick-nack pound shop isn't one of them.

That's a proper good mentality you've got there.
