What size filter?

[Lawless]

Having a relocation kit made up would a 63mm filter be man enough for the job or should I go bigger

Thanks

63 what? Internal diameter makes no difference. Ideally you want a filter with the largest possible surface area,however if you do this and are not external gate you will get boost creep.

[Lawless]

Yea the diameter at the botom of the the filter

Will I really get boost creep just from shortening the air filter piping

And surely u dont have to externally gated just for this

[AdamB]

Chances are you will get boost creep mate as it makes the engine more efficient. Best thing to do if you relocate the filter, is to cover up half of it or port the wastegate penny.

[Lawless]

Is there no other way of controlling the boost

Must be a cheaper option ?

[Lawless]

Like a boost controller or something and when you say cover half of it up do you mean the filter ?thanks

[Weyro]

best thing to do is port the wastegate

how handy are you with a spanner?

Heres a guide:

all you have to do is remove the turbo and manifold, and use a dremel or similar to bore out the wastegate

Cheers for the link

So you have to port it to be able to put the shorter intake pipe on? Also what size is the turbo intake on the housing of a CT9?

You could get away with only removing the downpipe providing you can get the actuator off to allow the penny to open.
