Yeah, I have it on my 1.5L 1NZ-FE.. It's great! Love it, no dramas what so ever. And induction noise? Addictive! Watch your fuel economy go down as you put the pedal to the metal.

Installation? Simple as can be. Though I must admit the black and white instructions were a tad confusing, but nothing you can really can't figure out with a bit of patience.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info. How much worse is the fuel economy?

Oh and the approx weight too please.
Inches ;) They're American. Plus 15"x13"x13" would make sense if you picture it in your head.

the AFE box is 15x13x13, but there is a lot of space in there.

it's really the airbox, filter and a couple of tubes. I would probably break it down and fit it into luggage.

Garm didn't put the " after the numbers and we use the metric system over here. So we would say it's 38.1cm x 33.02cm x 33.02cm.

Dang that's going to take up half a suitcase. Think I might get it shipped as spending $50 on shipping might be easier on my ears than my wife whinging that she has no room to bring it back. Decisions decisions.

USPS Priority Mail to AUS is about $50, more or less. I think you know our procedure for minimizing any taxes/duties/fees.

I have the AEM CAI and I must say my fuel economy didn't go down, it actually improved. Or to be correct, it stayed the same, but with much more aggressive driving. So if I were driving the same way I did before the mods, my fuel economy would be better than stock.

My theory is that since I have a better acceleration now, I can go into DFCO much faster, since I get to the speed limit quicker, so I have to lay off the gas...

Honestly, I'm getting consistent 33+ mpg with city driving. One time going to LA from San Jose I got 37 mpg on that tank, going 70+ mph most of the way down.
