Recommendation induction kits?

[fairladyx]

Hi everyone, Recently bought a golf gti mk5 and looking to replace standard air filter for a induction kit, been looking at the Volkswagen Racing Intake System and Forge Twintake Induction System.
what are everyones views on them?
thanks in advance

Leave them get an ITG Maxogen or REVO Intake

I have the Forge Twintake and Twincooler setup, was on the car when purchased. Setup maintains temps around 15C under WOT so not bad. However the twintake is a pretty loud and fluttery intake, there's far quieter ones out there and I've heard the flow's restrictive for k04 cars?

I like how loud the Forge is, can sound like a dump valve at times, i've had comments from people outside the car! But it can drown out the exhaust from inside the cabin :(

RamAir induction kits are about half the price of the others and just as good for stage 1+ or stage 2. I've been running one for a while now, great sound and performance. Be warned, you loose a fair bit of torque in the lower RPM range.

Have the oversized one myself with 90mm pipe work. Nice intake and gained in the region of 19bhp (dyno'd at 216bhp) before mapping

I've had Twintake and Revo, the Revo is noticeably more responsive and sounds

I thought intakes lost power on these?

From what I gather, torque is lost at low revs, but gained at high revs. Still undecided myself on whether to keep the stock intake because of this.

Got it for £180.

The intake loses a bit of torque low down but I felt that it pulled better higher up the Rev range.

Can you use the k04 kit on the k03 if you want bigger pipe work?

ITG for me as well, it's the only one iv had thew but sounds great
