As you know I had my STG2 + KO4 conversion done by R-Tech last year and am super pleased with the car. I’ve got a Revo induction kit, which was installed when I originally went Revo STG2. However, since KO4 conversion the intake whoosh has increased and although I initially liked this, it’s becoming a bit of an annoyance when accelerating. I installed a new battery at the weekend and needed to remove the intake pipe & foam cone filter. When I re fitted it, I adjusted it so it sat lower as it had been slightly catching The bonnet underside. That seems to have made it a tad quieter (May be a placebo effect) but can anyone advise how I can lessen the whoosh more? Is there another filter that’s less wooshy, or will I just need to accept that this is a given with any indication kit?

Bigger blower, more sucky sucky - more noises

VWR is enclosed so less wooshy, but it's downsides are well documented on here (See Pudding's posts)
Thanks bud
Have you a link to Puddings post on this? TBH I’m not gonna pay out a shedload more cash for another intake, so likely I’ll just tolerate it, but be interested to see what the negative effects of the VWR or closed intakes are??

What’s folks opinions of the Forge TwinTake? I’ve seen a few 2nd hand and know they fit well as most forge stuff does, but anyone out there using this and can comment weather it’s significantly quieter than the open cone induction kits? I know TR Hamza had one on his KO4 BWA conversion hence not concerned that it’s gonna affect the tune as mine is also by R-Tech

) for £200 and sold the Revo kit for £185, hence £15 outlay is fine with me. Will collect and fit on Saturday and hopefully lose the majority or the Darth Vader ROARRRRRR

My guess is the person you bought the intake from had it on a k03 car and lost the supplied k04 dv outlet connector as it wasn't needed.

If the previous owner didn't use the preferred orientation then you should stick with his/her choice or else you risk sucking in filter embedded dust into the turbo.

Yeah it’s ok, as I said took some tweaking and pissballing about to get it to fit. Defo wouldn’t pay £460 for this, but £200 was acceptable and sold the other intake for £185 so cost me £15. Also managed to get the DV extension pipe from Forge and will be with me tomorrow, so can then fit and test it all out

Poor fuel trims make the car lethargic when driving day to day.

never heard of Hamza having issues and he’s exact same set up as me

What’s LFTF????I suspect he really meant LTFT (long term fuel trim). :happy2:

Well it’s all fitted as I got the DV extension pipe from Forge yesterday. Went out for a loooooong test drive and the car is much quieter with virtually no indication roar, and from a driving and power delivery felt exactly the same as it did with the Revo kit.
