GTI Forge TWINtake air intake - Review....
gigolo456:
Hi Folks, sorry to resurrect this thread but does anybody know if it's difficult or not to clean the Twintake filters? In other words, is it a skilled job to screw off the clamps and take the filter housing off, or is there more to it?? Nick @ R Tech kindly did this, and then merely tapped the ground once the filter was off to get rid of the dust, etc, but typical me, i paid little or no attention!! :confused:
Many thanks
Andrew

Having seen them up close, it looks like the jubilee clips can be done with a flathead screwdriver and then you pull off the canisters. Each one has screws - just undo one end and take out the filter. I'm sure there's a guide from Forge floating around somewhere.
The question is how do you clean the filter? That's what I like about OEM - just switch the filter panel. Once you get the engine cover off. :grin:

Cheers. From doing a bit of reading, a light blowing on the filter itself usually suffices, but as I said, Nick at R Tech just tapped it on the ground and sure enough there was quite a bit of dust! On the side one however there was hardly anything, so read into that what you will, lol! My biggest fear I guess is not being able to connect it all up again! :-S

You are supposed to wash the filters in some soapy water, rinse thoroughly with clean water then allow to dry before reinstalling them. :smiley:

Forge had the car in 2010 to test the Twintake / TwinCooler on my car. They decided to use a hard pipe with 90 degree bend as opposed to earlier versions using a 90 degree silicone pipe.

....Hmm, perhaps I should upgrade to a hard pipe. I'm surprised that a hard pipe would make any significant difference over the silicone.

My silicone pipe has been rubbing on a clip underneath an is starting to wear, i have adjusted it a few times but still rubs eventually....think i will swap it out for this hard pipe.
Contact forge directly i supose??
