Having gone through this thread...can't see why there is such an emphasis on the Forge IC?
As I understand it the original question was to set out the pros and cons of the Forge and THS IC variants.
Still can't see why someone would want to add extra weight to their car? Especially when there is a THS alternative which is lighter. Costs are pretty much the same and so are the labour costs.
Am I missing something? To cut a long story short...I think we need to be a bit more structured in comparing and contrasting options...rather than rail roading a particular brand or option.

....I understand what you're saying, Mo :smiley: But I reckon the fact is that there are several combinations to consider and hence discuss when choosing I/C's. But if the point of this thread was to only compare Forge vs THS (as the title), the point should have been made stronger perhaps.
It's not helped by the fact that not many people have chosen THS and posted here.
Didn't SteveP post a very comprehensive THS thread a long while ago? Or was it someone else?

steve P did a good review and talking to DomT about the THS he is very happy with it too. i considered all the intercoolers but have swayed toward the forge FMIC for ease of fitment/ removal, looks and performance. i would love to understand the logs and difference between them if they were available im sure theres very little in it so it boils down to choice/ personal preference im sure that the forge would be a very well engineered product with a good customer service so thats what i shall go for. nothing wrong with the TSH at all, just i want the forge :happy2:
plus jonnys post did make me think the forge could have the edge..

Forge had lower temps and quicker recovery in my experience.. Im only talking a couple of degrees but it all helps I guess..
