Love the video clip on that page. The engine still sounds sh*t and there's barely any intake sound.

"Richard, the Wintake is only available to the US market i’m afraid, and is a cut down version of the Twintake we sell here, in terms of both cost and performance."

I cant see how performance will be affected, only so much air can flow through the pipe whether it has one or two filters?
I think (unless proven wrong by some independant rolling road reports) that the reply given is a standard "protect our UK sales on the more expensive unit", maybe the Yanks are not fooled as easily as us with 2 shiny carbon bits :happy2:

The 2.0 TFSI sound like crap what ever you do to it. :-p

On this question of 'how-on-earth-does-a-Twintake-work-to-any-advantage?' it's been answered already and lots of times in various car forums around the world. As I understand it from the Forge horse's mouth, they thoroughly tested twin against single and there is a significant performance advantage with the Twintake. I explained it in my Twintake review:

Ta Robin... i did read that, after writing this post.
Unless I see some rolling road evidence, i remain to be sceptical.
