Hey everyone thought I'd share some pictures of the new JWT Popcharger compared to my old drop in filter.



The Popcharger arrived yesterday afternoon!






My old setup. Just a drop in filter.





Comparing the two filters before installation.

The installation took me less than 10 minutes. Everything bolted on with no issues of fitment.





The JWT Popcharger installed.





Here's the two side by side!


Well there you have it! Just thought I'd share :]

 

Looks like you may have had a popcharger without the heat shield

 

+1 What you had was a Popcharger without the heat shield and the polished ring at the top of the filter, which comes off with eventual use. Drop in filters look like this.

 

Looks good though. The only thing different is that the filter is new and should be better for your car.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

Did you oil it?

 

From my understanding I believe the JWT filter already comes pre-oiled.

 

Oh. It might. I bought mine used. It just looks dry in the pics.

 

Jeebus, please clean your engine bay

Why no strut bar?

 

Probably the same reason for no engine cover.

 

No strut bar or engine cover because of my plenum spacer. Will the HR hood give me enough clearance to fit the strut bar ? And yes my engine bay is filthy because working 15hrs 6-7 days a week gives me little to no time! :[
