GTI Forge TWINtake air intake - Review....
gigolo456:
Cheers. Albeit that my GTi is a 2005 model, when it was on the RR with R Tech a few weeks back (after my Twintake was fitted and full BCS Powervalve exhaust with sportscat), it only made 210 bhp and c.250 lbs torque (stock map), although that could be down to various reasons!!?? :confused:

whats wrong with that? your car is standard in terms of a map so all your relying on is the stock ecu to adjust slightly. Its only when mapped that your going to benefit.
I had fuel pump, intake, turbo back exhaust and i made 28bhp more, that's after driving it like that for 100 or so miles.
Plus you have the all the RR tolerances to take into account.

As edd says, you not only need a remap but also a high-flow TBE exhaust system to see/feel any power/torque benefit gains from adding an aftermarket high-flow tubular air intake such as a Twintake. I hoped I had made that clear in my first post - If not, I'll revise it.
On the whistling subject queries, still no-one picks up the phone at Forge all afternoon. I'll keep on trying.... :popcornsoda:

No worries RR, u were clear alright! I guess that I had only 1 missing like, ie the remap (the driving force pardon the pun), as my full BCS TBE was already fitted by then. I guess I was just a tad disappointed that well over a grand had produced only 13 bhp over stock, yet a fifth of that a mere fifth of that was the main gainer, lol! I maybe shud have considered the fact that only after ALL 3 mods wud any real results b felt!? Maybe I shud have had it on RR with everything stock beforehand, c if I got the alleged 197 bhp, bearing in mind my GTi is 7 yrs old!?
