    Pics would be extremely helpful - to me and likely to others doing the same install.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Follow the guide located here: Guide: How to fit a boost gauge

    It's comprehensive and helped me with my install.

    Got new rims fitted last week, BBS RC 324's, really happy with them, quite a different aesthetic to the BBS RW2's they replaced.





    More/higher res pictures here.

    Now i feel even more of a need to lower it a bit though, just have to save up.

    Lots of boost and dump noise, not a good idea for summer.

    Can you expand on that? Sorry never had a pod filter before so not aware of any issues associated with them

    No dramas, I responded to your PM.

    A tuned polo creates a lot of hot air, an exposed pod filter sucks in that hot air (less oxygen) and then makes less power. Experiences vary, but I did a bit of testing around this and keeping engine air away from the induction is the best option IMO.

    The PD160 is still the best option, a pod filter and a little bit of custom playing or a 1/2 airbox filter is good. There are a few threads on the topic and a few posts in my thread, let me know if you cant find them (use google to search the section, the search function on this forum is pretty useless).
