....You're welcome, buddy!

You couldn't turn one of the filter enclosures because of the side entry from the other.

....

Unless perhaps the 'offending' one could be somersaulted end over end and still fit and work.

Just thinking creatively :happy2:

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 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

they tested it on my k03 golf, i have never had a k04 fitted to my golf!!!!!!

Ah! Thanks yin - That pic shows that the 'side' filter leads to a 'Y' tube - Couldn't see that on the other pics.

Yeh not a fan of the Forge badges, if i ordered one it would have to be without those big advertising boards.

....Thing is though that further down the line some people would prefer to buy with badges so they know it's genuine.

I really can't see any manufacturer doing a replica of this though...
