  1. I've got one in my AE112, gotta make them yourself mate...

    No one makes them...

    You can either get the pipes made up and attach your filter to the end or just run a flexible plastic tubing from the front bar to the airbox / filter...

    Well thats good to know :rolleyes: thanks heaps from wasting more time looking around for a complete CAI system :D

    any ideal places for a newbie to get one around penrith? The pod is easy to get. because their availiable everywhere.

    Im more concerned about the rest of the stuff.

    Im not much of an car person (knowledge wise) :P but from looking into it i recon i can bolt one on my car myself.

    Can someone tell me:

    1.if i should get a steal pipe or a flexible plastic tubing?

    2.where in penrith i can get one?

  2. Oh yeah replying to whitestevo ur right about looking good for the respect and ur car would snap my auto for sure as its only 87kw's. Gotta admit though its betten a alot of cars since i got it. a few commadores(till i got up to 130km i was able to over take the bugga), lancers, corollas, civics and even a modified V6 mitshubishi magna on a drag for 4 days in a row. LOL the bugga wouldnt give up.

    IF the guy with the magna is reading this (doubt it) AWSOME RACE BRO :lol:

    Not that we encourage street racing..but is overtaking someone at 130kms/hr even considered beating someone?and since you're young and don't know much..i'd say stay off the racing..at least then we'll have one more member on board..but to be honest..i'd seriously doubt you'll beat anyone with your little corolla..so stop dreaming abt racing pple on the road and wake up to reality and learn how to drive properly for a start and respect other road users.Anyway back to your question..

    ..like Tats's already mentioned..the 7AFE ain't worth turbo charging(although i had the Turbocharged stivo before)..cos the gains you get with the amount of money u throw in just ain't worth..especially since yours is an Automatic.An since money is of no issue to you..why don't you sell your car..and get one thats already TC.Toyotas have a gd range of TC vehicles ranging from small ones like corollas & starlet GTs..the MR2s(ftw :D)...and the big guns like the Supras etc..just my 2 cents worth :whistling:

    yeah mate ur right about that racing part lately ive been slowing it down alot. and ur right 130 kmh is nothing to what iw as doing. but ive sorta been trying to drive safely which is a positive. Honestly ur right but i just bought it. The initial reason for buying the car was for getting to work.

    Just out of curiosity how much would i gain from a turbo?

    also ive been thinking maybe it would be best not to tubro and do what someone else said which was to visualise the car and put a muffler and air intake on it.

    Will a air intake do much at all?

  3. any recommendations on a turbo kit.

    im probably looking probably for a snap on turbo kit, so when ive gotten bored with the car and want to buy a new one i can remove the turbo to make it sell easier. then obviously sell the turbo kit to some one that want it.

  4. u can turbo any car if you are willing to dig deep into your pockets, as for having an auto and BOV are used as a turbocharged application only not for naturally aspirated engines but if you have a turbo you will still be able to hear it when it changes gear but it wont be as poignant and hoonish as say a fully sik wrx (manual) would be

    GEE ur a fast replier

    well that answers the BOV question....LOL

    honestly mate money isnt an issue. Im preety rich for my age, so its not a issue i have to think about.
