Some advice on loud intake Woooosh
« on: January 27, 2020, 07:52:46 am »
Morning folks
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?

VWR is enclosed so less wooshy, but it's downsides are well documented on here (See Pudding's posts)

Fit a closed intake such as the VWR if you want it quieter. Otherwise changing the filter or tinkering with the intake will have a negligible (more likely placebo) affect

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

Managed to get a used TwinTake PissTake() 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

Could you not put an enclosed filter on the revo pipe? I understand their maf scaling is better than most CAI and also that some people are fitting different brands of filter, so I guess it could also be possible to fit an enclosed one to quieten it down.

I guess that’s possible but too late now as it’s all a done deal. Good thing is the Hamza made same numbers as me with his KO4 conversion hence I’m not likely to lose any power or TQ. I’ll report back once I’ve swapped the kits at the weekend

Some advice on loud intake Woooosh
« Reply #12 on: February 01, 2020, 05:39:49 pm »
Hi all. I’m hoping I’ve not made a total cock up here and need some advice/help. Got the TwinTake today, and fitting it. However it’s only just dawned on me the there isn’t a connector in the pipe that goes to the turbo that will take the DV pipe. On the Revo kit the hose had a small extension for the DV pipe to connect to. I’ve taken the blanking plate off the TwinTake pipe, but now not sure if I can get just the connector form Forge that screws on to the pipe to allow the DV pipe to connect? Anyone help or advise? Totally deflated

Ring forge and get the correct outlet connector from them.
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.
