that I fitted to an ED30 this afternoon, I have pre dyno figures and logs which showed a big gap in requested and actual boost of around 0.4bar. Car is on a stage2+ and I usually hate the noise from intakes (getting old) so hopefully this one is a little more pleasant to live with.
I will report back......

I am in the same boat, i need one but dont like the sound they make ( waits for Robin to come along and tell me it's part of the aural GTI orchestra :sick:)
Will be interested to hear your thoughts. :happy2:
-
You will be able to test for yourself tomorrow mate :)
-
i personally don't like the twintake sound....im hoping the itg sounds better!
-
2nd that, too noisey for me, and does sound too harsh at even low speeds for my ears personally.
-
didnt ge much chance to test it properly, far too much traffic :sad1: but after the ECU throwing a bit of a wobbler initially it feels very strong so I will try and get some dyno testing done tomorrow.
As for the noise, far quieter than the ITG and others I have tested just a nice amount of wastegate chatter at mid throttle and not noisy when you dont want it to be.
Have a slight issue with the upper airbox rubbing on the bonnet padding but other than that, fitment is perfect.

So did you fit to your car or a customer. :smiley:
-
I always thought with the Twintake being a seeled CAI it would be quiet. Is this not that case? :confused: How does it compare with say a Dbilas, does anyone know?
-
if its a sealed unit- does something like a bmc carbon one do a similar job?
i know lots of people that rate them and lots on here have said use open cone types.
i too want better performance and a nicer sound,something to compliment my new blueflame heehee..... without being a 44yr old chav boyracerwanabee :ashamed:
i really need to listen to some at the next show
