Why does nobody recommend the forge twintake? The pipe work looking at it is the same diameter as the itg if not better flowing with 2 inlets into 1, surely is it just the filters restricting?

Over designed and over priced.

Itsagthing:
Yeah maybe but if you already have one like me, the question I'm asking regarding flow rate to niki is why are they supposed to not be as good as the itg? The pipe work is the same?? Must be restrictive filters?

R-tech-Nick:
Twintake uses silly restrictive enclosed filters, one gets blocked up with road debri straight away and the other stays looking like brand new.   This exact same filters caused no end of flow issues on the 1.8 t around the. 210hp mark with the cda setups (running 1 filter).   Then by design you want a induction kit pipe with a decent size diameter to reduce the air drag effects, the twintake is small compared to itg and kit.   It's all about the flow..
