its a K&N Apollo air filter, just had to customize it a little to fit the turbo.

if you go to K&N Apollo Universal Closed Air Intake Systems you will be able to find it there.

hope that helps bro

You have any photos of the back of the filter and what you had to do to customize it? It doesnt say anywhere what the size of the tube is.

I don't have photos of the rear of the filter, ultimately you will need tubing that will fit onto your turbo and then place that onto the back of the filter using hose clamps, that's all i did.

Ill take some photos this weekend and post up of the rear for you, hoping i get some free time.

silverTRD, im guessing by you guys you mean people in Australia? im not sure about everyone else but i do love my Works.

Nice car bud, I love a lot of the little things you did. You definitely spent a lot of time on her.

How is your drivability with the RW throttle body? I like asking everyone I see with it publically because so many people talk trash about it but I have nothing but good things to say about it. I think only the negative reviews are getting out about it.

Whats next for the car dude? Nice ink btw hehe.

Thanks so much for the kind words bud, means alot.

I have had no problems at all, very responsive and goes like a charm. I have nothing bad to say about the RW throttle body. It works normally just like it should.

The next thing I will do is run her on E85 to get more RWHP and thats about it, dont think there is anything else i can do to her.

thanks you, that rotary tattoo is my fave one, i have over 15 tattoos

Clean car but I think you should relocate the battery and eliminate the AST for a cleaner engine bay with more space.

Looking forward to more pics.

thank you! but i’m not after a cleaner engine bay to be honest, it’s not a show car, it’s a car I drive and make the most of it. To me I love how the engine bay looks when everything is still there, don’t need the space either
