Hi Redrobin, is that the twintake gained 21bhp over the ITG with no other changes to the car? I thought from other posts that the ITG gave more power than twintake in back to back, but I think this was on k04 cars?

if you bought the BSH, Evoms, twintake or ITG you wouldnt be disappointed.  they are  all good and will all give you good gains.  

My order for purchase there would be

1)twintake or ITG (couldnt really pick a favourite there)
2)Evoms
3)BSH

the Dbilias wouldnt even be on my list despite making good gains.  it uses the tiniest of panel filters to make the same sort of gains as a big cone filter.....i know id choose the bigger option everytime to ensure i was filter the air as much as possible.  plus after hearing TFSImikes dbilias before we swapped it to the ITG and i thought it sounded weird

....The Twintake is only a little bit cheaper than the ITG and on back-to-back dyno runs has added 21bhp to my K03 GTI, so whether you understand the second filter or not doesn't matter.

The term "best" is somewhat subjective. We all like different sounds and different looks and not all of us have the same attitude about the money we spend.

I realise that, but you would probably have attained the same gain with any of the other intakes with the same test I bet. Also remember that r/r results can differ by as much as half the gain you saw on back to back runs, so its really not fully conclusive.

Agreed that the word "best" is subjective though  :smiley:. I bought the Dbilas when it was the most expensive K04 option, but I am not sold on most expensive is necessarily the best. For example, I have Autotech anti roll bars on my car, the most expensive ones on the market as far as I know, and I genuinely dont think they are, if at all, much better than the standard anti roll bars were.

:happy2:  8)  :happy2:

The bottom line is that the 2.0T FSI engines respond well to aftermarket high-flow tubular intakes with some impressive power gains and that we have three or four good ones to choose from.

For what it's worth, my top three "best" would be:

1) - Forge Twintake
2) - ITG
3) - EVOMS

They're all close in performance and it comes down to soundz, eye-candy and cost.

How much differnce in sound is there between the twin take and itg I'm looking for some noise but not massivley over the top
