Induction kit options, what to go for?

[Donato]

I have an ARC which im told isnt the best, it is proving difficult to get filters for so....

What are the various options for replacing my induction kit for a twin turbo, greddy, apexi etc etc...?

What do you have and what do you think i should go for?

(pictures would be handy too!!)

Thanks

Apexi.  Couldnt find a decent pic yesterday but someone must have one.

worth noting you should take into account cooling and ducting with aftermarket filters

I am starting to think the stock set up is more efficient than my Apexi, I need some shielding

[Donato]

The ARC box that i currently have is ducted and does provide good heat protection, its near enough the same shape as the stock. In fact it uses the stock mounting points. Made out of Aluminium...

Thanks Dave! Now i really don\'t know what to do!! :confused: How is your one running now that you have run it in? Looking forward to seeing it at rotorstock.

I\'ve yet to find anyone supplying a heat shield for the Apexi twin filter set up, anyone ?
I\'ve found ducting amazing difficult to get through my front bumper etc, when the car is resprayed I will probably get some vents cut

The engine is fantastic, its being mapped at Abbey on Thursday
so I can\'t push it at all at the moment until thats all done

Unfortunately it won\'t be resprayed in time for Rotorstock

Geff @ Reworx is getting me a price for the ARC filters, will see what its going to cost before i consider the apexi.

I would have liked to have got mine resprayed before rotorstock, due to the damage jealous idiots have done to it, but im wanting to get it done right, starting with replacing the front bumper as my one is tatty, taking all the bodykit off and replacing the rivets holding them on with better ones as the rivets on it are starting to come out and hopefully blending it all in.

By the end of the summer all going well i should have it resprayed with a newly refurbished interior too!

Anyone got a picture of the Apexi induction setup, interested to see it...

Cheers

yeah my bodyworks looking a bit tatty, still need the arches rolled and body kit redone
All costs money though, I decided I\'m going on holiday instead

[Donato]

Tell me about it! Fortunately i can manage both this year, my girlfriend wouldnt be to happy if i told her the holiday wasn\'t happening so i could get a respray! :rolleyes:

Cheers

Donata,

Please ditch the arc induction kit.
You can get any kit just make sure it has suitable heat shield if not make one up.

Hi Brian,

Im thinking of doing just that!

Everyone seems to think the same thing. What is it about the ARC that is bad..?

Cheers

How is ARC worse than any other kit? cant see the logic as to why myself...

[mr_tim]

The lower filter sits directly over the rad, and the aluminium is so susceptible  to heat soak it\'s mad!

If staying with stocks turbos and intercooler i\'d go GruppeM all the way.
