Lawless Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Having a relocation kit made up would a 63mm filter be man enough for the job or should I go biggerThanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawless Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawless Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Is there no other way of controlling the boostMust be a cheaper option ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawless Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Like a boost controller or something and when you say cover half of it up do you mean the filter ?thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 best thing to do is port the wastegatehow handy are you with a spanner? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Weyro Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 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 http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showwiki.php?title=How+to+fit+an+aftermarket+manifold+and+port+the+wastegate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Snazzyblowfish Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve-gers Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 You could get away with only removing the downpipe providing you can get the actuator off to allow the penny to open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
