They have also shifted the air flow meter to the box (Same as the Diesel) so with this and the smaller inlet/outlet you still have a lot of modifications to do.
The Gen 8 Filter box is very expensive and when I looked non were available in Australia. But yes if the inner guard is the as the Gen 7 and it's a bolt in fit and you are happy to mod the box you can get just the TRD CAI pipe for where the airflow meter sits for about $80 US dollars. But I think it's safer and cheaper to install the entire TRD Tacoma CAI.

i am very curious to learn if in the meantime a different method, or a new toy on the market has made the 06 hilux 1grfe TRD CAI able to adapt to the firewall without having to shift the hole in the gaurd for the intake.
i have read a couple posts on tacoma world though the models do vary slightly , but adaptive techniques have been noted onn there

so all im trying to do is find the CAI best suited without having to cut a hole inside the gaurd
would you please be able to comment , i would really appreciate it
i have purchased the tacoma headers 09 from USA and am waiting to get a bit more from the original exhaust before i splash the cash , but will definately fit the CAI immediately as the hot box on top of the manifold is like a spaceship!
Hope to hear from you

Let me know if you would like to sell it.HK1837 wrote:Mine is still in its box, never got around to fitting it. I doubt I ever will now, will probably replace the Hilux with either a Ram1500 or a Jeep Gladiator with a supercharger before the instant asset writeoff ends. I did consider a base spec Colorado that was for sale near me a few weeks ago but as it was an Xtra cab so decided not to. It had been converted to an LSA and 6L80E auto.

Yes - a large number of people in the USA have installed the TRD CAI on TRD Supercharged Tacomas with positive results.
However, if you have a snorkel fitted you will not see anywhere near the positive results you would expect without one.
