Pod Filter on a MY09 WRX
Hey guys,
I went to look at a MY09 Subaru for a mate today. It had an aftermarket 'cosworth' intake pipe and a pod filter on it. Looked pretty tidy etc. Just wondering, is there any issues with AFM's in these models, or ECU issues with having a pod on. Does it require a re-tune normally, or will the ECU learn to live with the pod? Or does it make fugger all difference in the scheme of things, and it's really just a bit of wank and a waste of money? I have attached photo's. Thanks Kym |

Re-tune will be required with this mod. Some designs are better than others I believe but generally the stock box and after market panel filter is the way to go unless you are going to upgrade the cooler and turbo.

With the different piping and filter retune would be needed. The voltage vs. airflow scaling would be wrong for sure. Lean running + 255 = pop.

I would say stick with the aixbox with a good panel filter and do the resonectomy mod, induction/bov noise may not be as loud compared to a pod.

Good excuse for your mate to get a butler TBE + tune
Otherwise, back to stock air-box + drop-in filter

I would just chuck it in there TBH, I put a full TBE and PW TMIC and drove it around for 3 months before i got time to drop it off for a tune and turbo....
For all the haters out there, just for the record, f@#k all happened and the engine is still living! OMG no, it can't be true can it? but a Subaru engine is the most critical thing on earth la la la.... Edit: forgot to mention that i also put EL headers on and a cossi filter.....

I for one was not implying that you would blow up your engine by running a a CAI and a stock subaru tune, but If you want to gain hp by just installing a CAI by itself then don't bother.
Spend your first few hundred dollars of mod $ on a upgraded rear sway bar I say.

^ nah Dave, it wasn't a stab but lets face it some people do think the world will end if it's not tuned to within an inch of it's life!
Don't get me wrong you will get bugger all gains from not tuning but it also will not fail as often as some people make out!
