NightSpirit Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Decided to do this as the stock location is a) crap, no longer of use to me as I've put the catchcan there lol. So it has to go straight from the turbo to the front bumper area. As this must have been done many many times before, does anyone know where to buy the kit needed to do it? tight fit from the turbo to the front bumper to allow the blitz filter to sit nicely It's going to make a big difference to inlet temps once it's done and all the piping is heatwrapped.You can see what I'm on about here ---> www.night-spirit.co.uk/blog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paul w Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Why not just get a pipe and put it in behind the passenger headlight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 oh crap...I don't want to fit it behind headlight as that's naff! putting it at bumper area is best for cool air I was just thinking if I remove the stock pipe and attach the original air filter pipe (the bendy one) onto the turbo....that should do the trick?

paul w Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Filter will get nice and wet too i you stick it at the front bumper! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miracle411 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Nice work you done there, i was after the Blitz FMIC but i'm put off now from the pipe work, doesn't look to be a very short, or simple for that matter. Catch can looks nice though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 yeah, i thought that it went round a non interference route! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 There are 2 types of blitz fmic from my experience (had both..sold one)It's a bit of a bitch job but worth it as the pipework is all well away from the engine so cooler, if you heatwrap the pipes in the engine bay that is.I thought about the filter getting wet in the front bumper...that's very true but it's a risk I'd take I think?

scutch0 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 ive heard nasty tales of hydro lock... which is waht put me off getting a filter put in the bumper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest daveburwash Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 you using a different turbo yes mate?with the stock ct9, you will have uncontrollable boost as it'll be sucking in more air than it can expel, it'll boost creep/spike like a nutter!Complete and utter tosh!

NightSpirit Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 Missed that one...yeah...boost spike and all that? don't think so, surely the air drawn in is the same ammount just colder/denser. Plus boost creep/spike won't occur with te avc-rWhat's this hydro lock then? and that'll only happen if the filter is soaked won't it? just can't see that happening Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest daveburwash Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Loads of us did this simple cheap mod years ago with no problems. Don't know what you are doing wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Pardon my ignorance but I thought a decat would stop boost creep a little as it's less restrictive it will flow away from the wastegate quicker... or maybe that's the seperated decats... or maybe I'm just wrong??

ecksjay Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 tosh?it happens dave, whether or not it happened to you is another matter, but it happens, alot. fact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
