GTI Forge TWINtake air intake - Review....
RedRobin:
^^^^
If it's any help, I started off with just a Milltek exhaust and gained no more than 4 or 5 bhp. This remained the same when I added a flat panel filter. IIRC, I gained about 20-30 bhp when I remapped Revo Stage 1. Then about another 20 bhp from Stage 2 remap. But when I added the Forge Twintake I gained about 17 bhp further. I'm now running close to 270 bhp but needed an aftermarket high pressure fuel pump (APR) to handle it all better.
It's not difficult to make bigger bhp gains from a K03 car but I prefer driveability, good handling, and less stress for longevity.

That is helpful - thank you.
Also agree with your last sentance.

Just wanted to ask the peeps that have applied the Magma Shield tape on, how much I need to get to be able to cover the relevant tubing?
My Twintake should arrive this week sometime and then installation will begin :)

And another question Robin please. Did you ever get an update from Forge as to the orientation of the filters?

....Yes. I revised the original post accordingly and also posted with illustration earlier.
