Hey guys:
Made this up and fitted it today to protect underside of bumper-mounted pod from rain and excessive dust. Feel free to copy it :)

I need one of those! Any chance you could make up another? Looks sweet!

looks good mate :)
any reason why your pod sits vertical?

It doesn't it sits on its side. Shortest side at the top, longest side facing the bumper.

is it ment to sit like that? cause mines sitting flat, as in the maf sensor box is on top

Mine sits the same way as Schnells. When I did mine I couldn't see any other way to do it.

Ditto. I found the problem with sitting it with MAF horizontal on top would have been that it kinked the return coolant line over so hard that it stopped flow. Not good. So vertical it is.

Thanks mate, but it was a one-off. Can give you a template to take down to your metal shop to fabricate from tho if you like??

Nice work Martin!

Personally, I gave up on running a "drainpipe" style CAI cos it just kept sucking up dirt (especially at the track, a big off = half a tonne of dirt in the airbox:P ).

Looks like the shield you've made would deal with that problem quite well (obviously with a pod there's no airbox, but you still don't want a pod getting constantly filthy/soaked in water when it rains).

ps: There's something not quite right about the quote in your sig :P

A template would be fantastic mate.

PM me your details and I'll take care of it

In one word: very tidy work dude. :)

Thanks mate. As you and I know, as you get older you get more obsessed with the attention to detail lol

Does the pod get a direct frontal air feed? Just that it sit's in a negative pressure zone behind the bumper in the corner. Be a top idea to make a guard to direct frontal air towards the pod. My front facing cai scoop (below front bumper) lower my highway fuel economy by nearly 1L/100kw!! No BS. I'm secretly designing a new one atm (bloody hell I'm game!!!)

No. No pos air pressure.I love my foglights too much to remove them. However, I have a solution in hand which will be revealed shortly. But I can reveal that is uses more polished alloy lol
Looked at the idea of a feed below the bumper but my car sits so low I know I would lose such a device in my driveway, let alone what would happen around town...

Nice work. Mitsiman wanted to do something like that for my old KS but there wasn't enough room to put a decent pipe down there. In the end we left the pod in the engine bay and had pipework feeding cold air to it from holes cut in the front bumper (one on each side).

Let me guess, you intend to create a scoop on the corner of the bumper?

Correct/ The idea is to take the black corner slatted insert which is in the (TH/J) bumper, remove all the plastic between the slots and then connect that hole with an alloy feed to the pod. There will be another alloy feed sitting behind the inner black slotted bumper insert (ie., the one tween the foglight and the number plate). The nice part about all this too is that it will all still work wih my car bra. Stay tuned
