Hey there
I've got an AE82 twin cam hatch and I wanna put my POD filter on...
I had a bit of a play around with things the other day, and connected the POD after taking the old airbox off.
Attached to the airbox are some hoses going into the throttle body, one to a vacuum type sensor thingy attached to the firewall on the right hand side, and also there's a green connector going somewhere in the loom.
With all of this unplugged and the POD in the car still ran well - if not better. Are all these hoses needed to be connected or can I block them off and just have the POD sucking in the air...
some of those are probably breather hoses, however I would connect them as if the car was designed to have them then they probably have a purpose, plus if you get pulled over the 5-0 cannot defect you for the filter if everything is correctly connected and the filter is securely mounted
