I'm not just saying this because we supply these but the quality of them is fantastic. I'd recommend them and I personally think they are worth the price. We supply other intakes for the GTI & ED30 but if I got one myself I'd fit a twintake  :happy2:

Mine arrived today!  :jumping:



Just got to fit it now! Seems pretty straight forward!
Although wasnt expecting the extra aperture to the left of the MAF housing, guess you just cover that with the supplied blank?

Lee... the junction pipe for the ko4 is usually round, not rectangular.

Thanks. Lee  :happy2: - I was just about to post that mine (for Mk5 GTI K03) doesn't have any 'extension' at all.

Phone Forge: John Withers tomorrow and he'll help you. A Forge guy might answer in this thread anyway.

I cant see a huge problem as the blanking cover comes with a seal but here it is

^^ That will be OK i would have thought. I wonder why they changed the design.

aha! i was right after all...they've just changed the design so they only make one bend for both K03 / K04 cars.

blanking seal for K03. Attach pipe for K04.

Cheaper to do i'd say.  :happy2:
