GTI Forge TWINtake air intake - Review....

[Phil Mcavity]

i know of one or 2 dsg boxes gone pop 

Are you saying matt that these 500 lb ft torque boxes really are made of swiss cheese?

very nice robin, good to see it over the 260 mark, and with a nice plateau of power as well. i think your thoughts on putting an intercooler on are sound though.  then you'll have that power consitently.

i know you happy with stage 2 map, and dont want to go stage 2+ but what about just using the pump at stage 2.  i see chris ellis revo stage 1 vRS equaled your car with nothing but a fuel pump (did he have an intake as well)

Hi Sy,

In ignorance, I don't know what advantage an aftermarket fuel pump would offer.

[Janner_Sy]

the fact that revo reccomend it even at stage 1, and seeing chris ellis results, i think that said it all. imagine his figures if he had a twintake as well.

Chris has EVOMS and cat back exhaust.

....Sorry but that only tells me I would achieve more power (not what I'm seeking) from an aftermarket FP.

Hi Sy,

An aftermarket HPFP would allow you to:
 - Up your boost
 - Richen up your AFR and lower EGTs
 - Increase your timing due to more fueling being available

So basically it will allow you to run far more advanced settings if you so wish even at stage 1.

i was getting fuel cuts on my KO3, seems to have settles down alot now, still noticable at high revs in 4th 5th gear.

....Fuel cuts on which fuel pump and which intake?

Any kind of fuel cut is not what you want to be having - Very scary if midst a short-window overtake with oncoming traffic.

I suspect that it's something else Joe as at high rpm the stock HPFP can easily supply the requested fuel without dropping the fuel rail pressure.

Eh??? Don't like the sound of this 

I've just bought a fuel pump and am all set for fitting and stage 3 

Jonnyc tell me something to make me feel better

Dont know if I can help mate.. I have heard 230hp is the sweet spot.. Seems were all wasting our money..  

All I know is that mine ran, and still does, perfectly with over 450hp and 400tq with proper maintenance.. Guess you take the risk, personally I have never heard of one DSG failure which can be directly attributed to excessive torque/power levels..
