Forge TWINtake
« on: January 03, 2014, 11:27:13 am »
On the look out for a Forge TWINtake for my MK5 GTI.

Where is the cheapest place to source them first hand? And are there any issues I should look out for when buying second apart from a split pipe?

Best thing would be to avoid buying one and get an ITG or a Revo.

Get it from Forge Motorsport direct. TBH I'd get a REVO or EVOMS, you'll get better gains. REVO is the same price, EVOMS about £100 cheaper.

Looks like I need to do more research once again :(

The ITG one I didn't like too much as it requires no engine cover  :sick:

I'll look into the Revo and EVOMS intakes, but generally, which give the best gains?

^^^^ Probably not a lot of difference. Someone with a greater knowledge of such things (Alex) may have a better idea! All of the intakes can be fitted along side either a modified OEM engine cover, a EVOMS engine cover or a Audi TTS engine cover (which requires no modifying at all, a few threads on here about those).

My REVO intake with a its painted TTS cover.....

Now THAT looks good :)

Looking into getting an ITG one now as people say it also sounds better, although I prefer the carbon look of the TWINtake one.

Confused  :laugh:

That Audi engine cover looks amazing! Maybe not the cheapest prices but I would use Awesome GTI for buying kits, they match prices according to the manufacturer and have brilliant customer care.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!
