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.

Great review Robin - Rob at W8 has just got some Autotech pumps in from the USA - he might be able to do you a good deal :happy2:

....Thanks for the kind thought but I wouldn't want an Autotech pump - Too many bad experiences reported - That's why I bought a brand new APR HPFP and have peace of mind.

Hi Robin, how are u finding the APR, and what were your BHP gains?

....Air-Fuel plot on the dyno is much flatter and more even, as it should be. The power delivery feels smoother. I'll post the plots in the JKM Dyno-Day thread tomorrow. :happy2:

Hi Robin, hope you're well, as you'll probably know, im getting a Twintake fitted at the weekend, can i just ask plse if the fact that there is no engine cover at that point, could it have a detrimental effect on the engine itself, like water flying up when you go through puddles, etc? I can see though that you do have a cover still on yours!! :rolleye:
