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 one on my edition I ditched the filters as there well too restrictive and put the itg filters on so now have a custom cai and flow is epic

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:

If you don't like noise you'll never like what I have!! Lol

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
-
Great bit of kit on the ko3 in my opinion!
-
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.

My cracked Milltek leaking flexi joint on the downpipe caused my high fuel trim values, not the intake :angry015:

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...

It won't crack so it won't be a problem

^^^ True story.
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.

Slightly longer than OEM.
Anyway... slightly O/T :signLOL:

I have no doubts about whether it'll crack or not
and it just goes to show that miltek know their downpipes are sh*te, as its so easy to get a replacement :wink:

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:
