On a N/A you don't want the pod to far away otherwise it will effect response and too close to TB will be hot. That's why the pod goes best where the box was.

I have the same Pod, and I got it into my standard box. Just have a play around with it, it'll work.

What is the point of putting a pod in the air box? Just get a high quality re-usable standard replacement filter for the air box.

Bit hard to see but you get the idea
