steb9780 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Supposed to be one of the better aftermarket kits from what I have read, due to it having it's own cooling box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds very much like stock then - Toyota call it an airbox:rolleyes: Its purely bling factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Its purely bling factor Depends if you can fit the OEM box to your setup really. I'd like to see one of these for myself TBH, I've got a lot of questions that need answering. The main one being will this box flow enough air to keep a single turbo happy at high boost?

bolarbag Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 anybody have this fitted, any performance increase/ decrease or some nice additoional noise I assumed you were bpu If the filter is not of paper origin then any aftermarket filter with a decent filter element(not HKS) and a heat sheild will do the same job If your turbo comes with a 3inch inlet compressor housing and the arc box is smaller then at its utmost flow range there will be a restriction regardless of box or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Ive got one of these on mine http://www.envyperformance.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=6062 Whether or not its better than the stock airbox only a dyno will tell. However I like it, it sounds great too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 The whole front face is open so it is less restrictive in that respect. You would need a good feed of air to make the most of that though. It is a well made bit of kit. One point to note replacement filters are circa £50 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They Last for 15 K Miles so probably work out the same as replacing Standard filter every Service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain2010 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Ive just ordered one from Nic. Mines only an NA but ill let you know what i think.

bmx1lew Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 well im currently using the HKS mushroom filter, but due to the bad tests results i really want to change, was thinking apexi but seen as i want to bling up the engine bay why not get a few blingy bits but obviously the ARC is a good bit of kit aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
