You dont need a turbo....they do sound better with the turbo as it sucks in a lot more air, but you still get the whooooosh noise with an N/A

[mr2nut123]

sounds good this apexi air filter. saw a post further up about it working with an n/a like? does it actually give a light whoosh noise with it? also is it worth getting one for the n/a, asin performance wise?

[DeusMR2]

for N/A id say getting the one of mr2oc.co.uk, its exactly the same as K&N (made in the same factory etc.) but hasnt got the K&N mark and is about 10x cheaper

[houston]

where abouts on the site are the kits? ive had a look but cant find them

[houston]

never mind, ive found them, and its for turbos <_<

did find this cheap site for K&N though

gonna order mine soon cos the cheapest i could find an apexi for n/a was 160, 100 less for k&n

Any induction kit will make a whoosh on any car, my Pipercross used 2 make a whoosh on my Yaris and its only a 1 litre!

Beware tho, they tend 2 use alot more petrol or wos that just my Yaris? <_<

The only reason you use more fuel is 'cos you boot it everywhere so you can hear the WHHHOOOOOOSHH.

[dj_davo]

as an update for you all, and to respond to the last few posts above, i may be removing the apexi, until i get an exhaust and probably unichip too, as im using stupid amounts of fuel this week (without booting it - although obviously THAT SOUND is addictive)

i assume it may be down to the air/fuel mixture being altered, and with the absence of a chip or fuel computer - like the SAFC, and/or maybe the fact i still have a restrictive zorst.

i might keep the standard zorst, but get a de-cat pipe.

thoughts on this peeps?

so now i will bite the bullet and probably get a unichip. was gonna go the SAFC, FCD, grainger valve & delimiter route, but with the amount of wires, messing about, and cost (although cheaper than a unichip), i think that 1 device neatly plumbed in - and importantly EASILY REMOVABLE is the way to go.

what do you lot think?

[Bibbs]

I prefer the Apexi style of controller .. as you then get funky dials and are able to tune yourself ..

but the Uni is tidier ..

[dj_davo]

took it off, gonna run standard again, until i get the other bits together.

still be interested in peoples thoughts of running a de-cat pipe on standard zorst.
