Pod filter, no nice whooshing sound

[Blue9N3]

So I installed a pod filter in the existing air box, without a cover (haven't had time to make one yet) and went for a drive.

Lots of honda style induction noise but hardly any nice turbo spooling whooshing sound which really surprised me. The previous cars that I had (XR5 turbo, R32 gtst) made wicked whooshing sounds when coming onto boost with a pod filter. Has anyone else noticed this?

On the performance side, car seems slightly more responsive and heat soak is much worse (42 deg intake when 28 deg outside....) cools down fairly quickly once you get moving, really need to make the cover for it!

For excessive noise, run a pod filter without the airbox.
After a week, you'll be happy to have the noise gone.

Do you have the upgraded intake from the front of the bay to the box?
Are you running the aftermarket (pipercross?) filter or DIY?

There are 2 main reasons why you cant hear the turbo.

- It needs more boost )more boost = more sucking from the turbo)
- Airbox is drowning out the noise - remove the airbox or make a new one.

Cheapie saas pod. Airbox has no top. Running around 19psi peak. Might try taking out the box altogether for fun.
