Title: Forge Twintake
Post by: Arnoldc1990 on June 19, 2014, 01:42:32 pm
What are peoples opinions of Forge Twintakes? For the Ko4 TFSI engines?
Any good? Or do they not match up to ITG, REVO OR EVOMS?

Expensive and pretty.

They are fine (performance wise) for a K03 engine but will hold back the performance of a tuned K04 engine.

Revo, EVOMS, ITG are best for performance  :happy2:

They are good quality and are a good fit.  The front filter need regular cleaning though as it gets clogged up pretty quickly with debris in the cannister (cleaning is not difficult).  They sound great as well.  As mentioned can be restrictive with higher flow applications  :happy2:

Cheers for the advice...Spoke to RTECH and they do not rate them at all.
Would go for the EVOMS induction however I am not a massive fan of the (in my opinion) cheapish looks...
Will be looking at a REVO intake most probs

Nought wrong with Evoms.


If you want to pay an extra £150 for a nicer looking bit of pipe be my guest lol  :ashamed:

Got any back to back data on this ?  also the ITG part numbers ?

I don't want an open filter cause I'm old'ish and don't like too much noise, any info might help.  Ta  :happy2:

We're these filters a straight fit? Where did you get them? This sounds like something I need

Cam skill, mate yeah there a direct fit, fabricated a bracket as the twintake doesn't have the thread like the itg system to bolt to the engine to hold for vibration. Brilliant bits of kit once hybrided to the twintake pipes.

Oh I see so they're not enclosed like the standard twintake ones? That must look awesome

would look at just about any other intake.

Forge twintake just about always runs the injectors to max, due to the fuel trim. I know red robin had a good result. I have personally never seen a good result at all with them

I have even seen 2 of the exact same car, same exhaust and same engine both same tune Stage 1 from same company. The car with the forge twin take made almost 8kw's at the wheel less than the other golf with stock intake.

My fuel trims run at 8% with my twintake .Stage2 RTech.

Issue you have the Filter cones pointing the correct direction though..that doesn't help.

Well for buying it 2nd hand for small change in 2009, getting it replaced in 2014 for a brand new one free of charge speaks volumes... Wonder if BCS will offer this in years to come for the 2nd hand buyers out there...

Made correctly, it shouldnt crack at all.


I would say that your experience steve is not common. If that was A. N. Other  then the outcome might have been different.

You hope...it's not the metal that cracks due to rubbish material...it's the flex in the system that determines whether your BCS will last over time  :P

Oh and Richard, if I wasn't a member of a public speaking forum, then yes, it might of been different..but good news and customer after sales should always be made public.

I will also point out, I never asked for a replacement. Hats off to Milltek.

Flexi on the BCS is twice as long as on the competition.

I'm sure over time, it will be either good or bad, but as in time like most things, BCS is still very new, so we won't know for a few years yet.

Anyway , gone slightly off topic..

I'm blaming sweaty bollox's fault or whatever his name is.. :laugh:
