@ KeithAPR : -
Yes, Mk5 chassis. I didn't photograph all of them but you can see the floor matting through the gaps and this would normally be covered in on an oem GTI.
Quite a few race Mk5's were using an enclosed cone filter in the oem ram location but had the oem engine cover on - :confused: ?? Methinks that's a very nice and functional looking cone filter.
Notice the abundant use of plastic ties! :grin:

So where is the outside air entering the intake system from? Air does not flow up from the ground to the top of the engine bay.

....In most cases from the oem position - Upper grill. In a few cases via ducted air from the foglight aperture.

I would not consider that ideal. Put it back directly in front of the grille opening and don't worry about any air from the lower bumper area.

I thought that Forge found that with the extra side intake on their twintertake they saw 3-4hp improvement vs just collecting air from the oem scoop??

....
Have Forge released any concrete evidence of their Twintake's performance yet?
Or, even better, any independent evidence anywhere?
