Hey guys, :) wanted to start my saying im new here, this is my first post.. i recon most of you are based in the UK, im actually based far far away in the united arab emirates. i drive an 09 golf gti mkv FSI... and im planning on an intake, the ITG intake really interests me, ive read the review on the twin take, the ITG and seen the evoms in person.. but for some reason i see the ITG intake really getting the job done well..

The owner of the club will be working with a tuner in the UK to create custom maps for our cars here in the UAE.. so i will get my bolt ons (Catless DP, Intake) and i will have logs sent to the tuner to get my tune ready :) i feel its a better solution than an off the shelf tune like revo apr giac or unitronic, because of wether condition's here in the UAE..

My question is does my plan sound like a good idea? I wanted to ask about the ITG's sound with a forge dv and spacer.. i love the turbo flutter and im hoping the ITG makes alot of it :D

I wanted to add that the arrangment of this forum is very interesting, seems like a great forum after doing some reading :)

Firstly hello and welcome  :happy2:

If your looking for turbo flutter then the ITG and a forge DV is a great combo, likewise the Evoms will also give great results and good sound  :evilgrin:

Hmm sounds good, is one louder than the other? has anyone here dyno'd them back to back to see difference in gains? and cosmetically, i like something about the ITG, it has that look about it that says "getting the job done properly!"

wizzo:
1 more thing, how does the twin take sound in comparison? does it bring out the turbo flutter?

Hurdy:

I doubt the Forge will be quite as loud as the filters are enclosed, which will reduce the sound slightly. I have the EVOM's and the sound is impressive enough to make people jump when you pass by :laugh:

All 3 intakes (ITG, Forge and EVOM's) will get the job done withing a few bhp of each other, so I guess in your case it would boil down to which makes the best sound :smiley:
