Nick how would you describe the induction noise vs the stock intake?

13bhp from ko3 turbo. very good indeed then. even more interested now then.

i bet theres more to be had with a k04.  i must admit from that pic it looks very well made. lets just hope the price is good

from what i heard of it, the waste gate chatter sounded very very good, it gave it more of a roar compared to the standard air box, its hard to say how much more louder it was then the standard air box, you would have to see a video of it, definately worth the £££ IMO, as you would struggle to get other mods for £300 or there abouts that will give u a nice increase in power

I'm bumping this old thread to see if anyone has heard more from Forge on this one?

There was mention on golfmkv.com from the US Forge guys that the UK production run was underway.
I'd rather buy it ex UK than ex USA, so it is only making one trip across the planet...

so anyone got an inkling on the true release date?  :smiley:

^^^^
As with most new products, it won't be available until it's available. Most self-respecting manufacturers prefer not to launch a product until they are satisfied with it < Much preferred imo.

However, watch this space.

I wouldn't pay more than about £20 over EVOMS.

You only get about an extra 3bhp over EVOMS and unless your into number chasing i don't think it would be worth it.

Would prove a problem for people with DV Relocation aswell. Unless they have done one for KO4 Cars aswell

....I thought that Forge had done their Twintake for the K04 before the K03, but I may be wrong.

Meanwhile, while we wait for further news about the launch, here's another space to watch : -

I'll let you know by tomorrow hopefully when I see the bill for their bits  :laugh:

Peter and the team at Forge turned this one around for me very quickly and as far as I know there were talks of two pipe finishes, black and polished. I would have preferred black - but I guess I'll see whats in the box tomorrow!

I'll post up some pics if you guys like - probably over the weekend when I get a chance (the car is in the spray booth at the moment getting some chips taken out).
