Your talking about the IAT sensor. On the TGP it's in the passengers side of the plenum instaed of the airbox.

not too bad... see when i do get my tgp im going to put in a decent sound system so i intend on taking out the battery cutting a hole down into the wheel well. then make a pipe or new airbox that will draw cold air from the wheel well. nice in theory... lets see how it will work practically lol

oh yeah just in case you were wondering im going to run the battery cables from the engine bay to the trunk where i am going to have 2 yellow top batteries
Cheers!

Cold air good for turbo. Hot air bad. Should work good.

I just wanted to make an update that I have ordered the RU-1760 K&N from Autozone today.  This filter is mentioned in the original post and from the looks of the pics that are there with longer filter(RU-1770) is looks as though the shorter RU-1760 filter would fit perfect.  I got the filter for $25.99($27.55 w/ 6% PA sales tax).  It will also be here tomorrow, and I'll take a couple pics to add to this thread.

I'm gonna go with the RU-1390 Filter...see how that works out. It has a 20* neck so it should clear the coolant bottle.  :)

Yeah, I suggest that.  I bought it and it fits nice.  Jeff said they had shorter necks as of some date in Jan.  Mine comes right up over the intercooler.  Just right.

I make intakes as well. if you are moving your battery i can build a sweet looking cold air intake for the TGP. also it would be easy acess to do a front mount intercooler.

let me know if your interested. i have a red powder coat that will match the red tgp's perfectly and gloss black that looks awsome.


here is my intake before it was powdercoated:

I must say just the sound from putting one of these on is worth the money alone.  I did it to mine and now you can definitely hear the turbo.  Also when you let off the boost real quick it sound like a supersequential blow off valve.  I don't know how many heads I've turned from this.

I ordered ru-1760 off the website www.ajusa.com and it finally came. It is the PERFECT size for this car I think. Fits perfect and doesnt go over the intercooler at all. The sound is great that it makes and the car picks up alot faster!

Recieved the Ru-1770 I ordered from 4filters.com. I used Redturbo's idea and cut about 1/2" of the stock rubber pipe to place over the neck on the turbo so the filter doesn't try to fall off. I also had to trim about 1/4" off of the neck of the filter to keep it from hitting the intercooler.
My previous setup, Stock rubber pipe to K&N down behind the intercooler was quiet compared to this.. It's damn LOUD now! You sure know there's a turbo under the hood now, and it has absolutly NO problem breaking them loose in second now. For $30 I'm happy..  :D

Edit: Just finally got a chance to run the car some.. and DAMN does it move. I went through the gears faster than I ever have before!

Not to bring up an ancient thread, but I had another question pertaining to the filters.  If an RU-1760 is 5", and the 1770 is 6", does this automatically mean the 1780 is the same exact dimension in every category as the above mentioned filters except 7" long?

$40 for GM o2 sensor, $65 retail but discounted for TGP owners. The GM unit
is the only one tests have proven is proper for the TGP. One is needed as
the cracked pipe has caused your original o2 to become fouled.

 Ummmm

 Last I heard was that AC/Delco and Bosch O2 sensors are Both made by... BOSCH..... So why is it that Jeff  M says the Ac/Delco's would be better if the parts are coming from the SAME manufactuer???

 Jeff? Chris? Anything on this?


 One more thing.. Has some have said.... Cold air is always better for a TURBO.If that's true... Why the heck is everybody rushing out to purchase K&N filters that do Nothing but PULL HOT engine bay air into the turbo?? :shock:

Hot air is better than NO air, when the stock piping gets crushed (Well, imploded) from the turbo outflowing the air hose.  And it IS better than the stock routing.  Maybe not ideal, but better.
