....There are quite a few to choose from, including two new ones which are close to being launched.

I would bide your time and take your time over the decision.

Were you refering to this as one of them Robin?

....As you haven't posted a smilie I'm a little confused because that is obviously a Carbonio replica and not new as a design.

:signLOL: secret modding!!


Shameful really as she wouldn't give me a hard time over it. Its just there's loads of things she'd rather see us spend money on right now.  :embarrassed:

....A potentially tricky matter of principle though. You are obviously having feelings of guilt and it may only be a matter of time before her female intuition alerts her that something is up.........But what? is what she'll be asking herself.

Tee Hee :evilgrin: Have fun!

Looking at various Intake systems, I see the EVOMS is over £110 more expensive than the Forge version.  :scared:
How is this justified? Can I assume there is a considerable increase in performance from the Evolution Item?
A lot of you guys have mentioned EVOMS in various threads but I don't just want to follow the crowd if its going to cost more for the sake of being cosmeticly more pleasing or just produces another 3bhp.
Also if I get an intake of some sort, do I then have to contact Superchips for a Bluefin update?

^^^^
It may be because Forge are a UK company and EVOMS are imported from the US via Regal :sad1:

It's up to you of course, but I would deff wait for the new intake offerings from ITG and VWR before deciding.

People also buy intakes because of which makes the noise they prefer.

HTH  :happy2:

....

I would advise that you go and lie down in our Special Waiting Room where a VW Forum Nurse will attend you. Phil Mcavity is already in there, also waiting and recieving training before leaping onto the slopes.

Aaah, thats where Iv'e gone wrong obviously. I wasn't aware of any Mod Training courses. No wonder I have the shakes.

Maybe if Phil and I hatch a plot, we can be outa here before its too late

Turn the sound up mixit and you'll hear the wastegate flutter from the EVOM's :evilgrin:

I should have done this with the window down as it is "quite" loud :grin:
