....There are quite a few to choose from, including two new ones which are close to being launched.

I would bide your time and take your time over the decision.

Were you refering to this as one of them Robin?

....As you haven't posted a smilie I'm a little confused because that is obviously a Carbonio replica and not new as a design.

:signLOL: secret modding!!


Shameful really as she wouldn't give me a hard time over it. Its just there's loads of things she'd rather see us spend money on right now.  :embarrassed:

....A potentially tricky matter of principle though. You are obviously having feelings of guilt and it may only be a matter of time before her female intuition alerts her that something is up.........But what? is what she'll be asking herself.

Tee Hee :evilgrin: Have fun!

Looking at various Intake systems, I see the EVOMS is over £110 more expensive than the Forge version.  :scared:
How is this justified? Can I assume there is a considerable increase in performance from the Evolution Item?
A lot of you guys have mentioned EVOMS in various threads but I don't just want to follow the crowd if its going to cost more for the sake of being cosmeticly more pleasing or just produces another 3bhp.
Also if I get an intake of some sort, do I then have to contact Superchips for a Bluefin update?

^^^^
It may be because Forge are a UK company and EVOMS are imported from the US via Regal :sad1:

It's up to you of course, but I would deff wait for the new intake offerings from ITG and VWR before deciding.

People also buy intakes because of which makes the noise they prefer.

....

I would advise that you go and lie down in our Special Waiting Room where a VW Forum Nurse will attend you. Phil Mcavity is already in there, also waiting and recieving training before leaping onto the slopes.

Turn the sound up mixit and you'll hear the wastegate flutter from the EVOM's :evilgrin:
