Welcome along! Not long had my Ed30 either and I love it!  Went Revo stage 1 last week and I'm well happy with it!

Hi! I went with the forge twintake! There's plenty of info and review on here. It's not too loud but makes sense nice noises and doesn't ruin low down torque

Welcome, nice looking Mk5 mate

Yeah was looking at the twintake, looks the part!! Is it worth the price though???

[camfollower]

I don't think any intake is worth as much as the twintake is new... but I've seen quite a few for sale on ebay / here and other forums.  (Not just the twintake, but when people sell up and split car etc. ), probably worth checking the for sale section, as a second buy around £200-£250 I'd say they become much more viable.  ANd much more resale value too.

If its not there then you can contact VW Customer on 0800 0833914.

Give them all your details (telling them your after your "individually numbered Golf GT Edition 30 plaque") and if one has not been previously sent out to a former owner one will be sent to you for free. If one has been sent out before then you will not get one.

IIRC you will need to send them (via email) a copy of your Reg Document showing its your car and they go from there.

I delt with a chap called Matthew Young but lots of peeps have delt with a lass called Jenny (I think).

Hope that helps. Any probs, PM me and I'll give you the direct phone number for the chap I spoke to.
