good results today....

[Guest]

This is on a 98 BG5 GTB limited,manual. Ok thought id let you all know that after a lot of advice from clubsub members i changed my intake set up which was a new trust airnx pod,custom made alloy airbox and 120mm docting from front airdam to.....

the same 120mm ducting to the factory air box with a new oem panel filter (i enlarged the snorkle hole in airbox to 115mm to allow ducting to go into the side of box straight to filter) and after a good strop once warm around nelson discovered that the idle had stabilised slightly and my wagon ran very smooth and VOD was nearly non existant.

the ducting made a very noticeable difference and i will never go back to a pod set up as long as i have my wagon... and no stoopid BOV sound with every touch of the accelerator,only at full boost!

another happy customer here,cheers CLUBSUB

Good stuff, standard airbox ftw

Its funny how often people think something bodged up in their shed is better than a factory developed setup... usually the factory did it that way for a reason! ;D

Yeah you get good results from improved airflow to the factory airbox. The worst of the restrictions seem to be there.

+1

I had a K+N pod on my 540i, and switching back to factory airbox gave me an HP increase (SOTP) and a verified fuel economy improvement of 2l/100km. (possibly because i wasnt nailing it as much to get that hawt v8 induction sound lol)
