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.

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.

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.

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.
