^^^ I would think so too as me and Mat ED30 where chatting to VWR about there plans last week  :smiley:, and if that's the one Robin is referring to I don't know why he thinks it's secret  :confused:

Quite, VWR have been telling everyone about it :)

I spoke at length with Matt@VWR last time I was there about it.

I didn't say it was a secret :smiley:.

I don't have any more info about it so nothing for me to report at this stage. It appears you and Mat do have some info.

Would the VWR one fit the S3's and cupras?

The SEAT Leon Supercopas racing cars have a mental intake, looks nothing like all the aftermarket ones, I want to buy one but dont speak spanish!

....Very likely, as it would be designed for the 2.0T FSI engine common to all.

Latest word on the street for the UK launch of Forge's Twintake is the muddy field of Edition38 - Isn't that this weekend?

Sure is Robin. will be good to see the finished unit. Going to hold fire and see what the other intakes from the like of VWR and ITG are going to be like power wise. I do like the look of the forge unit but im not in it for the bling factor.

....

Forge are saying that the addition of the second pipe and filter deliver more power gains than the single front one as it increases the air flow.

My guess is they'll be selling them for around £300 and around $400 in the U S of A.

I'm not going to Edition38 (camping in the UK ain't my scene anymore) so please take pics if you can.

I'm holding fire too and might need an APR fuel pump if I upgrade my air intake.

Enjoy your weekend :drinking:

....I prefer to wait and see which of these new air intakes suits my car best, rather than go for the cheapest deal.

I think that ITG's offering will, when launched, be a very strong contender and VWR also quite rightly won't produce theirs until they are confident in its performance gains.

EVOMS sounds too raspy for my taste.

Robin, will take pics and post when i get home on the sunday night or could text them to you. Not into the camping either, staying not to far from the show in a nice warm and DRY hotel  :signLOL:

Joe, a group buy mite be a good idea if it proves to out perform the rest. A saving of the like found on the GB catch can offer would be great.

Will be a good weekend if the weather is nice to us. Have always been lucky at E38 when it comes to the sun  :jumpmove:

Just post them here, Iain, so all can share :happy2:

Wishful thinking but not realistic to expect such a generous discount as from Dubtek on the BSH KhaziCan - It was very much an introductory deal. Also there simply aren't the production numbers in it for Forge - They will hardly be mass produced!

Why?  The pump is not required unless you are planning to go to stage 2+...   :confused:
