Hi all, I’ve just pulled the lever on a Streetfighter Stage Two upgrade for my PX3 Ranger Wildtrack X which includes the Garrett GT22 turbo and intercooler plus a custom dyno tune. I’m wanting to purchase a process west catch can, upgraded Silicone intercooler hoses and a better air filter. Can anyone recommend where I could get all three from the one place ?
Thanks in advance.

Looks fantastic, you sure it does any thing?
Think you may want to look up the Bond Uni report that put Mann and Hummel's Provant Filter way ahead of the pack @ half the price!

What do you mean by this?. Are you inferring the stock filter won't flow extra air, or that it filters air inadequately?
I'm just interested in your perspective.

Hi CatHerder, given that we’re going to be pumping more air through the engine I’m simply looking for the best air filter up for the job prior to the custom dyno tune to ensure all measures are taken to improve airflow. Ive has issues in the past on other cars with K&N filters that kill MAF sensors due to oil from the filter getting on the MAF and costing me $1000 to replace. Oil filters are great for around town but not much chop on dusty roads so it’s a high performance paper filter I’m chasing and Ryco have a few choices.

Righto. My experience has been that the OEM filters are generally pretty good when it comes to capacity and filtration (Ignoring Prado/Hilux and 200). The piping and housings however, can be an issue.
I hope you document your findings along the way as I'd be interested to know what the factory filter can cope with.

As far as what a catch can will do I had a Supercheap one on a Navara ZD30 that 250k Km and worked fine.

Bigger issue for me is the piping that comes with the unit. I fitted a unit to a landcruiser a few years back that came with plastic irrigation fittings for bends and had a large step down in size of the hose. If it were mine I would not have fitted it.

The provent for the 3.2 has nicely formed hoses and a good bracket. It would be hard!! to finish with a nice neat job that did not restrict flow using straight hose as in the pic of the process west unit.

Pics of the 2L Provent appear to have nicely formed hoses supplied as well.

Provent 200 is long term proven and more than capable of the job.
