yes i have. bought the pod filter, came with the necessary parts with it. what I meant is that my pod filter is hanging in the air. When i rev my car the pod filter goes up and down and everywhere. What do i use to secure it, do i use some wires to tie it down or what? like what materials to secure it so it doesnt move around

What Russ is referring to is:
Did you read the information in the tread regarding how a pod filter in your car is not going to give you any performance increase at all?
Is it an oiled filter? K&N?
In your research before installing the product did you read anything about killing your AFM, running lean and popping your motor?

Unless you get a dry type like an apexi. Without tuning there is not much if any performance gain, sounds good however.

In regards to having other mods without tune etc, so far i have a TBE, pod, larger TMIC and it runs fine. Yes i did lose a bit of bottom end but the middle to top end has defenetly opened up. It revs much more freely.

In time, my silicone intake will go on, followed by when i find a turbo. I will see how that goes without a tune and then finally tune it.

I have had no trouble with the car running rich, in fact the car gets a little more K's now with my mods. Only thing i found to make my car run rich was the hks bov (obviously because of no tune) Average i get 500 a tank and 540 if pushing.

Running lean and getting great ecconomy sounds like a great thing till you melt a piston.

In sumary: Lean = more km per tank.
