On the look out for a Forge TWINtake for my MK5 GTI.
Where is the cheapest place to source them first hand? And are there any issues I should look out for when buying second apart from a split pipe?
-
Best thing would be to avoid buying one and get an ITG or a Revo.
-
Get it from Forge Motorsport direct. TBH I'd get a REVO or EVOMS, you'll get better gains. REVO is the same price, EVOMS about £100 cheaper.
:happy2:

Too slow! :sad1:
-
Looks like I need to do more research once again :(
The ITG one I didn't like too much as it requires no engine cover :sick:
I'll look into the Revo and EVOMS intakes, but generally, which give the best gains?
-
^^^^ Probably not a lot of difference. Someone with a greater knowledge of such things (Alex) may have a better idea! All of the intakes can be fitted along side either a modified OEM engine cover, a EVOMS engine cover or a Audi TTS engine cover (which requires no modifying at all, a few threads on here about those).
My REVO intake with a its painted TTS cover.....

Now THAT looks good :)
Looking into getting an ITG one now as people say it also sounds better, although I prefer the carbon look of the TWINtake one.
Confused :laugh:
-
That Audi engine cover looks amazing! Maybe not the cheapest prices but I would use Awesome GTI for buying kits, they match prices according to the manufacturer and have brilliant customer care.
-
Mine tho I've added a carbon badge where the logo should be.
