Forge Twintake
« on: June 19, 2014, 01:42:32 pm »
What are peoples opinions of Forge Twintakes? For the Ko4 TFSI engines?
Any good? Or do they not match up to ITG, REVO OR EVOMS?

They are fine (performance wise) for a K03 engine but will hold back the performance of a tuned K04 engine.

Revo, EVOMS, ITG are best for performance  :happy2:

They are good quality and are a good fit.  The front filter need regular cleaning though as it gets clogged up pretty quickly with debris in the cannister (cleaning is not difficult).  They sound great as well.  As mentioned can be restrictive with higher flow applications  :happy2:

Cheers for the advice...Spoke to RTECH and they do not rate them at all.
Would go for the EVOMS induction however I am not a massive fan of the (in my opinion) cheapish looks...
Will be looking at a REVO intake most probs

Got any back to back data on this ?  also the ITG part numbers ?

I don't want an open filter cause I'm old'ish and don't like too much noise, any info might help.  Ta  :happy2:

Cam skill, mate yeah there a direct fit, fabricated a bracket as the twintake doesn't have the thread like the itg system to bolt to the engine to hold for vibration. Brilliant bits of kit once hybrided to the twintake pipes.

Oh I see so they're not enclosed like the standard twintake ones? That must look awesome

would look at just about any other intake.

Forge twintake just about always runs the injectors to max, due to the fuel trim. I know red robin had a good result. I have personally never seen a good result at all with them

I have even seen 2 of the exact same car, same exhaust and same engine both same tune Stage 1 from same company. The car with the forge twin take made almost 8kw's at the wheel less than the other golf with stock intake.
