Sway bar I think the underbody ones are called. But yeah, leave the cargo blind in at all times if possible

how do you do a pod filter setup in a caldina? ,
theres the map sensor? going into the factory cold air box, then the other assembly that is bolted to the side of the box and returns to the intercooler or plenum ( only had a quick 5 second look)
but i am able to make up s/s piping at work to replace the main hose , would just like to know how others have done it, pics would be much appreciated,
thanks in advance

simple answer is to not use a pod filter , you will likely find a decrease in power unless you have proper ducting to feed cold air.

drop in panel filter is the way to go.

[Matty104]

that makes life easy then haha , stainless piping wouldnt be that good of an idea to replace that factory rubber pipe would it, as would hold heat?

not sure on caldinas, but on ae111 theres only a temp sensor in the airbox, no map sensor

[MasCam]

Yep temp sensor in the air box

MAP sensor in the intake manifold

go and buy a Simota pannel from AL @ Driven

my k&n filter cost me $180ish? made a good improvement tho! made the bypass valve alittle louder tho

One hose goes into the factory air box and the other goes into the factory intake hose.I have plumbed back the hose that goes to the air box, back to my aftermarket intake pipe and put a breather around the other(yet to set up a catch can with this).Don't know how to load pics on here or else I can put mine up.

nice bubz very similar to how my set ups going to be, what size is that intercooler piping?

[doin donuts]

i know this isnt really along the same lines as what you are all talking bout but just wanting to know if anyone here with a gtt has any problems with towing things/ not power wise but mechanical, my wife has a gtt and we want to get a tow bar, what would i expect to pay for that? thanks heaps

[WCKWGN]

there was a tow bar for the caldina on trademe a couple of months back. i think they had it at $250 odd . maybe try wreckers to get ahold of one. As i under stand they are the same tow bar from the g model through to gtt so i think they would be sourcable enough off a stacked ride.

2.5 inch,all universal piping.

oh yeh same as what im getting, where do you get the gasket from that goes to your downpipe off the turbo

The Downpipe flange and Gasket both came with my turbo.It is the standard T3/T4 five bolt flange.Have a look on ebay,there's heaps,some with manifold weld flange as well.Bought mine from ebay.
