Too expensive for what it is, go for the ITG  :happy2:

So instead of a Closed box design you prefer the look of the Blue Peter toilet roll with your grannies clunge sponge stuck on the end??   :grin:

 :signLOL:  That's a wonderful description! However, it does deliver good bhp numbers.

Just wondering if anyone had one of these kits & want to hear there comments on this kit...im choosing between the forge twintake & this kit


....Performance comparisons between the VWR intake and Forge Twintake would be useful. And also cost comparisons. Folks could then make a more informed choice.

Certainly, if the VWR intake had been available before I bought my Twintake, I would most likely have got the VWR. I am totally happy with my Twintake at the moment though and with the bigger filter surface areas derived from having the twins I would have expected the Forge to deliver more.

For what it's worth, and whether we like it or not it is a valid consideration, I still think that the ITG Maxogen looks absolutely awful regardless of its performance. It's the afterthought sponge blocks sat on the battery that kill it for me. But ETTO and all that.

But if you had a GF who was awesome in bed you could keep her hidden in the bedroom.  If you have an ITG Maxogen, it stays hidden in the engine bay

To be fair if she was mingin would you even want to no matter how good she was?, I have standards  :signLOL:

Hidden in the engine bay is where the ITG should stay its an ugly bugger allright  :happy2:

 :signLOL: I am the only person who runs one of these intakes?!??! It always causes so much debate.

But I will say I have popped the bonnet open and showed it to the parents as it is quite pretty  :grin:

I wouldn't do that with an ugly one!  :happy2:

Well, we all know I'm a bit different, Thor, but....

I do look at the 'mantel piece' (among other things) while stoking the fire.

The mantelpiece attracts your attention before you get to the fire chaps  :happy2:.......................unless of course you have zero standards or are playing "Pull a Pig" with your mates!
