    76/78/79 series airbox into a hj61

    Hi all, I am wondering (hoping) if someone has installed a 7x series airbox into a 60 series? I am intending on doing this due to having a GTurbo with about 22 psi of max boost, and hearing that the standard airbox / filter is restrictive at the higher boost pressures. I am intending on...
