forge twintake air intake available end Aug 09

[john_o]

 
forge say around 4 weeks from today ......
only issue may be the cost  

[Top Cat]

We asked them at inters how much and they wouldn't even give us a ball park figure. 

Its got to be something around the price of its competitors me thinks. My guess is £300.

[SteveP]

^^^ IMHO It's going to be well over £300 I think based on the cost of the far more simple ones like the Evoms 

The ITG one should be released about the same time too 

[john_o]

yeah Id agree Steve , £395 or £449  are likely given it has 2 air cans....
you got any pics on the ITG one?

also slightly concerned how well these aftermarket intakes deal with engine rocking?
(OE and carbonio retain the flexi bit ...)

[SteveP]

^^^ Not that I can post at this stage 

I do know on Revo's Leon K1 the ITG has proven to give a better flow than the Evoms 

[Hurdy]

I'd love to see some comparative figures between the ITG,EVOM's and the twintake. Without proper comparative figures it is hard to think whether or not to go for the Twintake or not. It does look lovely, but it needs to perform.

[SteveP]

^^^ Agreed, have you logged the Airflow on yours John with the Revo Stage 2+ code??

[nick-barnes07]

i think they have priced it around the 300 mark, spoke to mark a few weeks back about a price and he said about 300-320 rrp on it , i have seen a few dyno's on the cars they tested the twin take on and they saw between 13-18bhp gain from the cars tested... one being mine!!!

I like the Forge stuff. Just cant afford their price tags. Really was interested in the PCV kit, but at £300 + P&P not a chance. Id guess this will be around the £325 + VAT + P&P mark.

....Unless you've got a full set of aftermarket engine mounts.

No, SWMBO won't let me near it this week (we both have a week off work!). I'm annoying her already with looking for parts for the upgrade without spending time on data logging The last time I played with VCDS I was out 6hrs

The  is 'cos I'm a relative newbie with it

I really like the look of it and am seriously considering swapping my intake to it.

 But those gains are from K04 turbo'd cars so i wonder what the gains woud be for a k03. id say probably less, and if thats the case, then you may as welll stick with evoms etc unless the price is very competetive

Indeed it should ;)
Got mine almost booked in.
