I have had both, nothing in terms of performance but I was suprised to see that the ITG was more silent on my DSG car than my twintake!
When we fitted the twintake onto the manual car it sounded quiet compared to when it was fitted on my DSG!
Very strange but true!

I've added the following info to my original first post so that the info is there before reading as far as 18 pages!

UPDATE @ 100,000 MILES:

Although we (JKM) were able to reduce the Boost setting by a notch on my Revo Stage 2 to compensate for the extra efficiency of the aftermarket Forge Twintake, at about 20,000 miles since fitting, the stock fuel pump sometimes momentarily struggles when pushing on hard. Fortunately it doesn't create any abrupt fuel cuts but I decided to get an APR High Pressure Fuel Pump to better handle requests and return the Revo2 Boost to what it should be.

Hey Jussa  :smiley:

APR pump was fitted yesterday. It was free with a rather expensive Cam Follower  :grin:

New MAF needed and being fitted next week followed by logging and then dyno-day on 26th May. So a bit too soon to share any meaningful info.

Interesting stuff RR. Wonder if that's why TT Shop set my fuel to 5 due to the Twintake effect   :happy2:

Looking forward to seeing these results - shame I can't make JKM this time  :sad1:

....Very likely I expect. Although JKM reduced my Boost rather than Fuel (on Revo2). I'm sure TTshop would tell you why etc if you asked them.  :happy2:

....There'll be other times, mate. I'll probably organise one in September or October.

I'm only expecting a return to the highs I've had previously, i.e. 270 bhp give or take a couple of horses, but also a return to smoother plot curves.

Smoothness is the key  :happy2: after all, us K03 boys aren't about chasing big figures  :grin:

I'll look forward to it - October would be better for the cold Autumn air  :wink:
