Forge or ITG Intake

(1/6) > >>

Alexis:
Morning all,

Before I go any further I know that this has been discussed a thousand times before, but I have managed to narrow it down to 2 options and I am new so I can be forgiven for asking the million dollar question :smiley:.  My choices the ITM Maxogen & the Forge TWINtake.

So what would people recommend?  I will probably go for a remap at some point in the future and also what I'm looking for is the noise i.e induction noise & flutter but only when accelerating.  Does that make any sense?

Thanks

Al

Oem is fine for stage 1/2. If you go 2+, then it's worth going for an intake. ITG is noisier.

You'll deffo see power with an intake even on stock car just make sure it's a cold sealed system that's fitted correctly,
We see loads that are fitted sh*te and pick red hot engine bay air up rather that cool ambient air
We've  fitted just about every kind, the open ones are obviously noisier but the new ITG is now closed so quiet really
I don't know how the twintakes get good flow the filters really are tiny IMO
We use VF or Evoms on our big power cars the flow is incredible but they are noisey

Marshall:
The new enclosed itg. Is this available for k04 cars?
I've tried searching but haven't found anything.

Its the best for noise but the fit isn't great which I will update on Tuesday as I have time to play.

If you read carefully I have had ALL the intakes almost so can say with some authority I am most happy with this one.

Avoid at all costs the Forge TwinTake. Before I get lambasted that is my opinion. My car never ran right with it. I took it off it ran great so make your own mind up.

Stage 2+ ED30.
