Post by: Tfsi_Mike on June 14, 2011, 07:52:34 pm: Pricey but;

Forge Twintake, ITG Maxogen & Evoms Intake systems are the best rated for the Tfsi (In no particular order) I know the ITG & Forge definately have product reviews on here to help you decide. . .

I've no experience of it sorry. Someone else on here must have. Ive had;

Carbonio (Looks great, not much gain and not upto stage2+),
Dbilas (well built but heavy, uses small K&N panel filter in a force fed airbox. One of the quieter intakes)
ITG Maxogen (My favourite so far, andy jackson @ ITG was very helpful. They have a great reputation in motorsport. loudest of the inlets and logs show great airflow)
