Evoms or forge twin take?? S3 **UPDATE** ITG

[MitchGTI]

Hi guys want to sort out my induction this week so going to put my order in tomoro... But i am undecided on the twin take or the evoms!? Ibe had a twin take before on my gti and loved it but been talking to domt and as he said most of the big power cars are running a evoms! And i do want to try one out? But im still unsure!!! Also i want to gold heat wrap which ever one i get wheres cheapest and best to get it? Anywhere u can get it off the shelf?

IMO if you main desire is for loud induction noise then go with the evoms.

ITG FTW, as good as the twin take and Evoms IMHO 

[vRS Carl]

Twintake,ITG & EVOMS (i run EVOMS) are all pretty equal really with very little seperating them in terms of gains from what i have seen

ITG FTW, as good as the twin take and Evoms IMHO 

after having evoms on mine and then having the vwr car with the itg on i can honestly say i think the itg sounds better and looks better for an open filter kit 

[MitchGTI]

So people are now saying itg?! And as to the sound i thought the twin take was louder?

[MitchGTI]

ITG it is......

ITG is quieter I believe wrt Twintake
The ITG seems to have some slight low down lag by some reports (e.g. ZBOYD on seatcupra.net) when directly compared to the Twintake.
But the outright top end gains are prob slightly higher for the ITG

Both are great intakes, wouldnt look any further than those 2 in the current intake market imho 

[MitchGTI]

right well picked up a ITG intake today and fitted it! im pretty happy with the results! it defo sounds better and picks up abit quicker now the only thing i have noticed is i think i need to up-rate my DV to a stronger one (forge?) as when at full post it sounds like it keeps doing little dumps? like it not holding its full boost? anyone had this problem before?

is it as its comes on full boost as your accelerating?

[MitchGTI]

yeah like you get hte start of thw whistle then it sounds like its doing mini dumps? like a choppy noise?

[gazbutS3]

if its like a fluttering noise its perfectly normal, mine does it, its the ECU and its various valves(N75 IIRC) modulating the boost to keep it at requested levels

what DV are you running?

[MitchGTI]

ah right ok, its still runing the standard dv at the mo, i was just out driving with a good friend of mine whos a mechanic and hes the one that sugested it could be the dv not holding up to the boost?

[gazbutS3]

I'd try an updated piston type DV just to be on the safe side if you still have the diaphram type for the sake of 40odd quid. What year is your car?

[MitchGTI]

yeah im going to ring jkm and get a DV on order tomoro mines a 57, did you notice anything from uprating your dv?
