cant remove it, but you can hack it out LOL, so you reckon its fine to hack it out? Got nothing better to do today and its out, would be interesting to see if it creates alot more flow

well i ripped it out.
Bugger me is it alot louder when in boost, you can hear it really sucking.
Also changed the note of my BOV quite substantially.
Dunno if i lost power or made it lol, its a really hot day so its not the best day to test. But it does sound alot meaner, may have to loosen the BOV a bit though, sounds like theres the slightest hint of compressor surge goin on.

Since I changed to a pod filter I have noticed more air noises. Especially flutter/cough when coming off boost fast. Also get some 'sucking noise' but no where near what I get with the pod on my ute, a turbo diesel. What does compressor surge sound like?

Thanks for the links, I spose I could've searched youtube for that but didn't think it would be there so well demonstrated. I'll have to do some recording with someone else on the throttle and see if its similar. Once I get a box around the pod I probably won't notice it so much anyway.

the part within the box, that funnels into the actual intake is what i removed, with it removed it allows the air to be pulled through the whole airfilter with much less restriction.
Instead of that little circle there, its not all open

its removable with a dremel lol, u gotto cut it out.
Careful where its shallow, i managed to cut a small slice out of the actual box lol, nothing a bit of araldite and some nicely cut black plastic cant fix.
You will get a substantial increase in induction noise, it will change the noise of your BOV and you will get slightly more power.
Not bad for 10 minutes of cutting, cleaning and making 100% certain theres no plastic shavings in there that will make its way into the turbo impellers lol
