Any recommendations brand wise for a replacement panel filter for a '96 Celica? Don't want to go down the pod filter route.
Cheers

I got a Tom's one off TRD Man.

Seems pretty good, you can actually hear my plumb back BOV now

does the st185 not have the same bpv/bov as the mr2 turbo does?

by **flygt4** » Sun Jun 20, 2004 10:01 pm

no the 185 has no bov from factory at all.i thought all gen 2 3sgte's didnt hav one.tho the compressor surge is as loud as ur average bov anyway , can anyone say shattered turbine shafts.......

Bugger. thought of tracking down a plumback from another car? they are pretty cheap

by **flygt4** » Sun Jun 20, 2004 10:15 pm

yeah there is no place to mount one without welding an adaptor onto the side of the intercooler.bout 2 inches of s curved pipe there,wuld be easier to go aftermarket if one was to install one.plus that hassle of piping a plumback in too.

You can't go wrong with K&N panel filter replacement.

by **GT4 20** » Sun Jun 20, 2004 10:57 pm

Had a look on the web at the TRD ones - are they really that expensive?

Looks like a K&N would be a good option then - cheers guys

My Tom's one was around $100, thats a heap cheaper than the K&N's

by **Farmer_dave** » Sun Jun 20, 2004 11:01 pm

i think the k&n is over 200

i was referring to that one ^

still i reckon k&n if anyone has found something better id love to know.
remembering k&n are reusable so even if they cost twice the price of another brand, after 20-30 thou kays youv got ya money back...

by **Farmer_dave** » Mon Jun 21, 2004 8:29 pm

Yeah 230 bucks from from repco when I saked for a price.
