Currently I'm running a stage 2 map, carbonio cold air intake, forge twintercooler and full miltek although I can never remember if it's res or non res, it's deffo cat back!  However I'm looking at the forge twintake to replace the carbonio.

So just wondering if anyone has experience of both intakes or could tell me what increase in performance I may get with the twintake? And also any increase in engine sound? The carbonio just doesn't do it for me! It looks nice but I feel I could be getting better performance from something else that still looks good.

If your running stage 2, you will have a turbo back exhaust not just a cat back.

Sarah, give me a shout if you want me to mod your engine cover for the twintake. Done a few now. :happy2:
You will love it, and it gives you the extra carbon that I know you love!  :wink:

Sarah:
Send me pictures Al, I am in talks about purchasing a twintake :wink:

Thanks for advice guys, was chatting to a couple of guys running them at edition and heard one in action so I need one in my life! Just need to get the fuel pump uprated and I should be feeling a difference, shame I don't use the car over winter lol

^ ^ I'll be shifting my chopped cover soon Sarah, one from Al himself in case you're interested. He may be able to do you a better one though as my car isn't exactly show standard  :wink:

I doubt the Carbonio made any noticeable differences for you other than it's cosmetics? Certainly didn't for me.

I'm running the DBilas intake with a Pipercross cone filter and it looks and sounds better over OEM/Carbonio. TBH I personally dislike any turbo acoustic exaggeration - whooshes, chatters and waste gate dump sounds do nothing for me, although, I do love the performance rewards of a Turbo. It's cool but in all likelihood I'll be returning to the OEM intake purely as I've not hit the inducted sound I wanted on hitting the gas.

A twintake setup will compliment your Stage 2+ setup a lot more over a Carbonio though :smiley:
