ive recently added a 3" exhaust elbow (bought from supra_girl) direct from turbo to custom 3" exhaust - made a BIG BIG difference, espeically in the low end.
The factory elbow is probably only 1.5 - 2" in diameter, very restrictive!
With the full 3" elbow the turbo spools up much quicker after shifts, i would def recommend to anyone with 7MGTE if youve got full 3" exhaust.
Air filter is a standard pod filter, which has worked well, you can hear the turbo working now!
It sounds mean in cold conditions and goes much harder, again would def recommend.
I have just installed heat sheild around the filter, as it was sucking in all hot air from engine until now, which wasnt helping...
Next will be piping from front of filter to inside of bumper to get purely cold air goin through.
