Ok, so it's down to 2.

EVOMS or Twintake

I'm gonna hit the reviews now.

I do like the look of the twintake. Looks a bit 'spesh' under the bonnet!

Gone but not forgotten : mk2 Golf GTI 16v, mk4 Golf V6 4Motion, mk5 GTI Storm Developments Stage 1, mk5 GTI Revo Stage 1, BMW 330ci, Skoda Octavia VRS Revo Stage 2, BMW Z4 Sdrive35i.

Although my review is of the Twintake, there may be other information of interest and help in making your choice, Ian:

Had all three on mine and personally my car performed better with the evoms than the other 2. Imo looks the best out of the three also. Itg just looks gash imo. Good look with your prefered choice, im sure you wont be disappointed whatever you choose.

I'm leaning towards the EVOMS TBH.

The whole point of asking questions like this is to get advice and opinions from the really experienced chaps on here, and if more of them say EVOMS than anything else, you go EVOMS!!! Or you change your name to Sammy  :signLOL:

hey ian

- i have the evoms and am happy with it to a degree. I think it starts to under perform with heat but thats probably due tp the lack of heat shield. sounds nice affordable and looks smart inder the bonnet.  :happy2:

Cheers Nez, do you have to put a heat shield on yourself? Have you remapped yet?
