Intake dilemma
« on: August 31, 2013, 04:04:29 pm »
Just wondering what everyones thoughts were on the best intake.

I've got a twintake fitted but, heard its restrictive at my level (2+) and got an ITG at a great price.

Would there be a noticable difference switching to an ITG? The twintake is better looking but, more looking for function over style

Cheers :happy2:

A noticable difference? No.

If you've got an ITG, go with that one and let us know.

You should notice a difference going to the itg. More so on a K04 car.  I've swapped from the twintake to the revo on a few cars now and there was a noticeable increase.

With the car having a better intake, the ecu should adapt, or could there be a few alteration's made threw mapping to improve things...

More air = more fuel too?

Thats the ITG fitted and it feels seriously down on power  :confused:

It doesn't make the flutter noise like the twintake either, anyone know what the problem might be?

Gutted I already sold the twintake :sad1:

Think the MAF might be upside down if that makes a difference  :ashamed: ?

Perhaps your intake temps are higher due to being an open cone... also I guess you've checked and double checked everything is seated right and tightened up nicely so no leaks.  
If the MAF was the wrong way it would stall on turn over.
Have you scanned it?
I noticed less low down grunt with a CAI compared to the standard airbox.

Have you checked all the connecting joints and made sure the MAF seal has not fallen off and is fitted?
