As this is a specific product review thread, how about someone starting a new thread to discuss the DSG subject. I am interested in the DSG subject.

It being a glorious sunny day today and me not driving my car for over a week, I decided to go for a little cruise around town with my sunshine roof fully open and all the windows down. Posing? What!? Me?.. Nah, never!

Boyo Boy! That Twintake is a tad louder than I expected. I guess people can hear it on the street. Still subtle though.

mine is ALOT quieter now with the OEM DV on. it sounded like a scooby with the forge DV on, turbo spool, hissing constantly.

Also boost seems to hold on alot longer than the forge DV so maybe change back if you dont like it robin.  :smiley:

Oh no, I do like it, Joe. I'm running the Forge DV but don't get the constant hissing you describe. Also, if your boost hold has improved with the oem DV it suggests a problem with your Forge DV connection.

Let's make some noise!!!!  :evilgrin:

That sounds like a boost leak mate.. No reason for the Forge DV to be any louder when fully recirculating than the stock DV..

boost was peaking at 24psi with the forge DV, OEM DV is now peaking at about 22psi, so i doubt id have a leak at that pressure? or could i be missing something?

that was a very interesting review.  Would have been excellent if he had managed to at least log the differences in MAF etc.

IMPORTANT REVISION:

Added to my original review post:



^ Filter manufacturer's cutaway illustration to show correct orientation of filter ^

Forge UK, contrary to Forge USA, initially advised the opposite orientation! To be fair, it is very ambiguous and, to date (early September 2010), tests have shown that reversed orientation is not detrimental to function nor performance in any way. Obviously the filtering ability remains unchanged and any changes to flow will be minimal, likely imperceptible. This is now Forge's official position.

I am expecting to hear from Forge soon about their position and advice regarding those of us, includes me, who have their filters the 'wrong' way around.
