Just on the pod filter subject, your engineer cannot approve the filter. He can only document it one the cert which means squat, so dont use that any kind of argument with police or the transport dept.

im not too sure bout that! cause my engineer was very strict and somewhat forceful that if the POD is not completely sealed and and silenced then immediate fail... he actually recommended that i get like a VT filter box and use that as they are designed from factory to be heat resistent and silenced and then run a cold air intake setup

also he actually said that so long as it is boxed/sealed off and not loud then the cops cannot say anything as it is approved and engineered... i dont believe he would say that just so I (who he doesnt know and we only met the first time today) can get his licence revoked or whatever

on top of that i ran a thread bout POD filters in tech/conversions a couple weeks back bout this exact issue and supplied the EPA guidelines for it. when i mentioned that to him he stated that they are the only requirements for PODS in NSW... he said it has nothing to do with pollution, AFM OR MAP sensors or anything other than literally NOISE. the EPAs and RTAs requirements is pure noise based and basically they will not allow excessive and unnecessary noise levels for a road/street car.

when i mentioned bout pollution and what not he said that has no effect on anything as the air is drawn in and therefore no pollution issues as the pollution comes from the exhaust and so long as that meets guidelines then there is nothing to worry about. also on that note he stated that because the car is PRE pollution requirements i dont even need a CAT for the exhaust but rather that it would be better to have one, ie, i DONT need a CAT for engineering purposes

we spent a good couple hours together going through every little detail, every scenario that could occur with cops. i basically walked in there and said that i want to be covered for every possible scenario with respect to cops and defects... by the time i walked out of there i literally had a head ache cause of all the info he gave and the requirements... what i mentioned up top was a summary of the meeting but we went through practically every law in respect to vehicle modifications in NSW so effectively i am covered for absolutely everything other than the ECU
