My mate just got a new pod filter on his mirage....and rekins that the gains are pretty good....i was just wondering if it would be beneficial on my tx5?

thanks guys

it depends on the size of your airbox and intake plumbing as much as the 'pod' itself..

got a picture of your airfilter, and induction set up as it is now.. If it is really poorly designed or restrictive a pod might reduce a bottleneck and let her breathe freely.. It not really a more HP thing but a faster throttle response anyhow

on a mirage it would make a difference as they are only a 1.5, but it mite be worth it to borrow his air filter for the day and see how your car goes with it.

mines only a 2.2...and doesnt ahemd have 1 on the 4 litre? or 3.8 or whatever they are?

i dont know to much about this stuff....so why exactly is it good on a mirage and a 4 litre but not on a 2.2l?

the way ahmed has his setup it aint working to properly, its drwaing hot air from the exhaust, it'll prob work but is drawing hot air from the motor, on a mirage the pod sits behind the battery, it mite work on urs, thats y i suggested that u borrow ur mates filter and see how u go

ur talkin about the cool sucking nosie yer ahmed?

i could try do that xf6250...i doubt he'd wanna take it off and put it on mine etc......

he got a mate to make up a bracket with a piece of stainless steel piping...

do u know what would make it work on mine? is it just a matter of what position its in?
