If you want a pod filter they are basically all universal, as you gwet one with a 3' flange on it.

Ive got an RE-0930 (K&N) and i reckon thats a good size.

Have a look on the K&N website under universal filters

idealy you want one with a smaller diameter than 3 inch for you celica so you dont have to adapt it to a smaller size

More filtration surface area = better...
I've seen a lot of people who agree that a filter isn't that important until you start producing more power...

E.g. RB30DE from a VL commode uses the same filter as a 5.7L V8 VS commode... One produces 110kW and the other around 165kW (or something around there...)

I don't claim to know everything... That doesn't mean it isn't true....

i mean the size of the neck sorry.... get a big one but ideally the neck should be smaller than 3 inches so you dont have to reduce the size down to the throttle body
