Right, mine rubs, i have the forge DV take off for the boost gauge so it sticks out further, its actually pressed down from the twintake, theres also no spare hose to trim off,

will it cause any problems? can i relocate it?

Get yourself a Forge catch can system and run a vacuum reference for the DV off the inlet manifold port supplied with the kit..

im not buying a new catch can just to acomidate the twintake.

any other ideas?

I think jonny was suggesting you get the CNC inline take-off that is installed on to the inlet manifold PCV port and use it for attaching your DV vacuum hose.



You need to get the Boost gauge fitting kit that includes the CNC take-off as Forge won't supply it seperately. http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=0016&product=FMBGFK2

You will also have to get a new hose for the servo check valve connection to the inlet manifold that you spliced to install the original DV vacuum take-off fitting.

....On K03 car I have the Forge DV with take-off for a Newsouth boost gauge, plus Twintake, but no problems.

is there another way? without spending money? what damage can be done when they are touching??

....I wonder of Jim at JKM, who installed my Twintake (twice), did something to avoid the problem. I'll ask.
