cadguy77 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 As title peeps,Mines had it, it's a cone type with a wire mesh holding the filter, and to say it's gone rusty would be an understatement.want to replace with something decent that won't rust and hold up under supercharger conditions?Suggestions?

Rikki 2 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 I got a BMC CDA with my supercharged setup its alot of work but its worth it...it sounds really nice? Doubt if you would fit a big foam under there anyway but ive heard they are ok with chargers (although never tried it)??? Link to post Share on other sites

That's one thing i've been thinking about' date=' once i go for 'charger set up, is having to lose my beloved BMC-CDA [/quote']Its a pain in the ass mate but it can be one. Although you lose some of the sound as it doesnt seem to suck air so hard like being NA. You need to mess about alot with the pipework to it and if you aint got aircon you stand more of a chanceas mine got right in the way. Hope this helps Link to post Share on other sites
goonersteve 0 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hmmmm, sounds like a fair bit of work! I don't have air-con, but even so, sounds like i may have to take a hit on this in exchange for the benefits of the 'charger.Cheers for your response mate. Link to post Share on other sites
cadguy77 0 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I went with a Jetex in the end. Got the biggest that would fit (which is pretty damn big) Link to post Share on other sites
