Hmm

If the MAF sensor is measuring how much air is going into the combustion chamber (this sensor is pre turbo don't forget...still got pipework/intercooler to go through) then what is the job of the MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor on the IC/TB pipe??

Surely that sensor is more accurate in measuring how much air is heading into the intake manifold and chamber??



The total air volume/oxygen content hitting the combustion chamber is calculated by the maf and modelled in the ecu based on the requested boost pressure.  The ecu knows that x amount of g/s through the maf will be compressed to y psi and will therefore equal x total air volume/oxygen content.

The MAP's job is to report to the ecu that requested boost is met and all in the boost pressure system is acting as it should.  The ecu doesn't calculate based on actual psi, it calculates based on requested psi as long as there are no faults.

A comment from across the pond : -

"As far as forge quality goes.... when I got the forge box for my blow off valve spacer for my twincharger and opened the lid, I was amazed at the perfection and precision of the object.

It fitted like they had measured my cars turbo area with a laser. Such a well made product. I am sure the intake will have similar quality.

At least for the price its going to look "bespoke".


agreed on that, every forge product I've seen is machined brilliantly, another bonus things is that their British and I'm sure many other companies produce quality kit but I'd like to keep as much of the money I spend in British engineering and manufacturing.
If you have to ask why, you'll never understand.

....I'm afraid that I'm much more inclined to go with what I think is the most suitable product for my car irrespective of where its produced.

Looks hefty. How does it sound? I'd have those forge stickers off straight away

I put mine on over the weekend.
Looks good IMO.
Not really had chance to get my opinion on the performance as yet..
Cheers to NickBarnes :happy2:
Hi Monk,
What wouyld be really interesting is you posting up some VCDS logging, specifically the mass air flow readings (g/s)  :happy2: alongside enrgine rpm/load

....

Where's the opening for air in the 'branch' from the battery area?

Is it underneath?

I believe a load will be for K03 cars powder coated black.


....The best coating for heat resistence would be ceramic, not powdercoated.

I've got some of that gold tape though.

Yeah
It's a big "Y" piece.
I believe a load will be for K03 cars powder coated black.

your correct, i beleive they are making 20 or so at the moment, most if not all will be for k03 cars, i think the k04 take of pipe is an extra cost if wanted (dont quote me on that though as i am not 100% sure) and i think they may mostly be black as well, whick looks very very good in the engine bay, sort of blends in with the oe colours

According to Forge they still wont be available for several more weeks :-(
This is just the impatient child in me, but the wait is wearing thin.

Especially when bundles exist with the VF k04 intake, hpfp and an ed30/Pirelli remap from GIAC that specifically works with the different diameter intake:
http://www.eurospeed.net.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_5&products_id=13

Intake only (the GIAC remap reference is to get the best results from the specific VF intake):
http://www.eurospeed.net.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_5&products_id=14

AWE just released their CCB and APR have a few new goodies arriving.

... yet i'm still keen on the Forge... in black.

Interesting links TINTO, GIAC are the first tuner I've heard of to release intake specific remaps for the K04.
