Pod in a box, its called a BMC CDA

MODS- TOO MANY -
No, it's all held together with jubilee clips and there's flow straighteners either side of the MAF. The element is quite safe. You have to modify the lid a bit but you can't see that when it's all together.Originally posted by Delusional View PostWas the piping a tight fit? Would there be any chance of it falling apart or hitting the maf sensor? Cant wait for results
BMC CDA is good if you want to fit a small battery, otherwise I reckon this ticks a lot of boxes.

And a small battery. In the boot. And looks aftermarket. And costs a million bucks.Originally posted by vwthunder View PostPod in a box, its called a BMC CDA

im currently going to try messing around with mine soon. i have intentions of laser cutting alloy or stainless (bling factor) and using a 90bend. depending how bit i make the new lid i should be able to run larger filters. plus if i run stainless i can etch it cool designs lol.2006 Polo GTI | APR Stage1 | PD160 | K&N Panel filter | Forge TIP | Forge DV | Forge IC Piping | Milltek TBE |

If you're going to the effort of laser cutting and so on, why no just buy the jabbasport one?08 9n3 Polo GTI

What are people trying to achieve? A diesel pumps a LOT more air than a gasser and the stock filter doesn't restrict them (the same one is used for the 1.9 PD and the 1.8 20V AFAICT)Resident grumpy old fart

So....as Gav mentioned we put in the pod in a box last Thursday and I have to say it's a well designed mod (good job Gav!). Similar to the Jabbasport one you just need to replace the lid of your airbox with the one Gav has designed. The difference is Gav's uses a Unifilter piped into the top of the air filter box, whereas Jabbasport's has the cone shaped filter cut through the top.
Low down throttle response has definitely improved and before boost kicks in you can hear the Unifilter sucking in air - when it comes on boost, spooling noise is much more pronounced (but not to ricer levels!)...it definitely has a very nice induction sound. Combined with the PD160 it's definitely doing a much better job than stock.
I do prefer Gav's solution to the K&N panel I had in there - if you're considering a filter upgrade I'd get in touch with him as the Jabbasport one will cost you $163 delivered to Australia.Mods >1Comment

I have another one done at a price of $165 plus shipping. I need to keep rolling these over so the old lid needs to get back to me. I have a decent network of folks around the East coast and beyond so this might not need to be via Auspost.
I have a trip planned to Melbourne in a couple of weeks so happy to hand carry for someone down there. And probably could fit it too.
Same Unifilter as before.
