Has anyone mentioned brakes?? :rolleye: :signLOL:
I've no experience of the Forge intake parts personally but my tuner has worked with the Twintake in the past and doesn't recommend it as an alternative to the likes of Evoms or Revo. No idea on the Twintercooler, but they don't supply them or generally get asked to fit them as customer supplied items.
I don't mean to come across as negative but I would think seriously about many of the recommendations made here and see if you can adjust your parts selection before they get fitted. :happy2:

I'm at that stage where I'm debating what turbo to upgrade to. umming and arring etc.
just don't want to fit a capable turbo then not get good results as it catback is holding back the flow.
Ive seen a few threads with people running stock catback but cant seem to remember any turbo setups or figures they achieved

seems you're talking about a turbo upgrade on an Ed 30 (ed30 thread at least...), but running a standard exhaust? :confused:
Paradox indeed...

lol good 1
I don't have a ed30 but the turbo is still any upgrade for me. whatever turbo I go for it wont be ran flat out. and no it wont be a standard exhaust, Dp is already fitted with stock catback
--- End quote ---
If it were me I would just see what the standard cat back is capable of in your application and go from there. If it meets your hp goals, I can't see any point in spending the money needlessly tbh, unless of course you do actually want more noise, different tailpipes etc. I'd rather sink a grand+ into decent suspension or brakes than a few bits of bent pipe and a silencer!

What he said, all day long. I'm not going to add anything to this as I've got to go for something to eat in half an hour and I'll be late if I get started....again! :mad: :slap:

EVOMS or Revo intake, Audi S3 intercooler is an improvement (but stock will see 350bhp), you need APR or LOBA HPFP and a downpipe

And this...very definitely this!
...need to stop reading this thread :fighting2:
kas:
ok after taking onboard the advice iv been looking at a few bits to replace the forge, iv come across an alloy s3 intercooler but will this be better or worse than the mk6 R intercooler as they are similar in prices?
Iv seen a RAMAIR induction kit brand new for under £200 so may get hold of one of them and also looking into a downpipe. Catback will be something i will be doing at the end.
If i get my car mapped with just a downpipe and intercooler and im not happy with the performance so decided to add bits later will it require a full map again?
pudding:
The MK6 R / late 8P S3 intercooler has an improved core over the early 8P alloy S3 one. Flows better, cools better and less pressure drop apparently. All you're missing out on is the metal end tanks. Either choice would be better than the standard GTI one!
You won't need a full remap. Maybe a few tweaks. It depends how much timing the existing map pulls back from EGTs (exhaust gases backing up in the head).
