Which Intake? All views and comments welcomed
« on: June 29, 2011, 12:09:58 pm »
Hi All,

I am shopping around for an intake and was after some advice.
I am not fussed about claimed performance increase's however I would like to enhance the sound of the turbo / waste gate chatter / DV.

Does anyone have any experiences?

Thanks in advance guys

For sound it has to be the ITG, but the Evoms is a close second to me  :happy2:

BDM which is pretty loud like the ITG sounds lovely especially on a cold damp morning.

But you have to live with it and I couldn't................or should I say my wife!

Don't forget to also consider the Forge Twintake - Much prettier than the ITG, comparable performance and not so loud. As always it depends what floats yer boat.

Good gains from either the ITG or forge twintake and then choosing between the two would be down too how much noise you want>, forge being the quieter :happy2:

I'm liking the look of the ITG and the lure of it being slightly louder. It's currently £360 from Merlin >> Linky

Does anyone know of any deals on this at the mo? Supply and fit would be good!

Having had the EVOMS on my last car and now the ITG on the current one i can safely say that the EVOMS is loud as foook.

The ITG you can hear a bit at low revs if you back off quickly but otherwise the noise is no where near as noticable as EVOMS.

I have heard the Forge Twintake in Robins car and i would say it is comparable to the ITG (I'm referring to a TSi ITG which is an enclosed cone & not a TFSi one which is an open cone)
