When i plant my right foot, i hear ONLY a spool up and my exhaust coming to life! Yes, this would very much get on my t*ts too!! My whistle (much quieter than this) only happens at low revs and at low speeds...

Ah.. I'll remove you from the list then.
Turbo whistle and sucking and whooshing is fine and is expected.

I have the Forge Twintake on my TFSI Sport too! However I decided to block off the side intake and only use the main intake...
The Twintake has been on my car for about 50k now? The front Intake was dirty however the side intake was virtually untouched! (clean?)
Made a 3" Block of Cap and see how it goes? Its very quiet in comparison and the performance is more or less the same.
I only started this change this week, I was running the Spacer (removed) and the Full Twintake system (only 1 Intake) but right now the cabin is more or less quiet! All you can hear now is the Exhaust note.
You could call this...poor man's Wintake hehe!

....That's normal for the front filter of the Twintake to collect more debris than the side filter.
You say that "the performance is more or less the same" with only the one (front) filter but how have you measured that performance difference? - Forge found that a single filter version of their Twintake delivered less performance gains.
