Forge - WINtake

You might draw the analogy that by having less draw from one filter, less air particles have to force their way through that filter, so it's like opening a new checkout in a grocery store.

This is true... but if there is only one 'single person exit' door to exit the shop, regardless of how many tills you open the thru-put will remain the same. I can't imagine that having the 2 filters gives any noticeable real world increase in power.

Whereas a certain amount of scepticism is sensible until you feel convinced in your own mind, Rich, IIRC I did see some dyno plots posted across the pond some time ago and the Twintake clearly delivered more bhp. It would take me too long to find again. Perhaps Forge themselves would explain if you give them a call - They're straightforward and not into hard selling.
One question might be whether the current WINtake version performs better than the version Forge compared with their TWINtake when they were developing it.
Unfortunately if for some unjustifiable reason the WINtake is only available in the good old U S of A :rolleye: it's all a bit academic but there's a history of some Forge UK vs Forge USA differences of opinion which don't help us the consumer.

Yeah but "Only US market" items are easy to get across the pond and ship over for the sake of £25.
I like Rich will remain sceptical about it until dyno results are seen (on current wintake vs current twintake), as the price diff is quite large and the possible HP difference nominal?.
And the ease of fitting and price difference would also be put into consideration too, bearing in mind that the $360USD (£240) price is RRP (so Likely to available for $300 or £200, maybe less) compared to Twintake of £330(ish), also makes a difference.
Again im sure Forge are not likely to pull wool over tuners eyes, but realistically are the figures on it going to be that different?

My thoughts exactly.
