GTI Forge TWINtake air intake - Review....
Type_R:
I fitted my Forge twin take air filters on Sunday last. The installation went well, except for removal of the clip at the turbo inlet pipe and the 24mm rubber screws for the heat shield to be installed. Driving around is so much nicer (partly because I did the fuel line mod at the same time - so no more rattles!), throttle response is much smoother and power delivery better! I am getting used to the noise, although initially I did feel it a little intrusive!
My mpg has gone up by at least 4-5 mpg which is an added bonus! The driving experience is so much nicer, I would definitely recommend this to anyone thinking of getting an upgraded air intake kit!

Interesting maybe this is the source of my annoying metallic rattling sound I've had for a while. I'll have a look over weekend.

The rattle initially sounds like it is coming from somewhere behind the dashboard but if you listen closely it's coming from under the floor. Mine was also worse at idle, sitting at a traffic light for example. If you accelerate even a little bit the rattle was gone. The mod took about 10mins and I didn't even jack the car up! I just stuffed loads of bubble wrap in there! Suprisingly my car already had rubber moulded clips to keep the lines from rattling but clearly they were not working! The rattle has completely disappeared now!
