GTI Forge TWINtake air intake - Review....
cheungy:
Robin, I don't have any Real Data to show you
I went by the "Feel" of the car and how it was performing? Don't have much to report back but it is quieter!
Sorry for the vague answers but just wanted to share what I have done with the Twintake system.
If it doesn't work out well then I'll revert it back to normal.
RedRobin:
^^^^
Interesting.... Thanks for sharing the information :happy2:
My guesstimate is that when running on only the front filter, the Twintake probably delivers about 5-10 bhp less on maximum output (depending on the individual car's other mods) - Not enough to notice much difference on the road. I emphasise that is a guess.
I don't expect that any harm is being done by blocking off the side intake but I do wonder how the air is affected in the pipes where they join - I'm thinking about pressures.
Type_R:
I get the high pitched sound too. First time I heard it I thought my turbo was about to explode, only comes on at hard acceleration (75% throttle) and is fairly short lived. In reality it sounds like a screeching of a tyre on tarmac! Certainly scares most of the pedestrians :grin:

Well After replacing all the hose clamps it made no difference. So Gave up removed and sold.
I did however install it in a another AXX equipped car. No funny whistle sound to speak off. Dammit.
Oh well. Such is life.

And there in lies my hope... it does it on some KO3 cars and not others so I'm hoping there is something that can be done to fix the whistle
