forge twintake or ITG????

[lcrboy]

whats your thoughts???

Well after having an ITG and selling it I would have tried a twin intake next. It does depend what you want I found the ITG too noisy and although 5000 rpm up it pulled much harder I found it bogged down lower rpm.
There is a thread with a review on each.
If you want darth vader talking to you from your glovebox every trip then ITG is your ideal intake but I found it annoyed me after only 1 month.

Excellent description

You get the same noise on the Twintake too. It is very loud in the cabin.

It's the only after market intake I've had on my K1 so can't compare

It all depends on the way the twintake is installed. If you do it the way forge says it;s correct. It is very noisy (the intake takes air from the fender which acts as a resonator towards the passenger compartment. This makes the twintake very noisy (I however do like the sound).

The much better way is to create a duct on the front (next to the fog light). And connect the intake hose direct to the forge right air filter (the one that normally is connected to the fender.
In this way the system gets really cold air and it becomes very quiet on the inside of the car (not on the outside ofcourse.....)

They all do the same thing in different ways in reality.

No stick with the usual intakes that are actually designed on the 2.0tfsi engine not some universal crap.

Ah ok i assumed it was one of those viper induction kits

 

[jeffg]

yep it was, am pretty new to this, so maybe i didnt explain myself properly. what i was thinking of was a pipercross viper enclosed induction cold air feed (VFC 334) about £180 from pipercross.....

 

[jeffg]

just been on another part of this forum, and it seems the majority are talking ITG, so i think thats the way i will be going.........

 

[edpeckham]

I've got the Twintake installed on my FR TFSi. Very noticeable increase in low-end torque...

 

[jeffg]

well, i think i am going for the ITG, hopefully this weekend i'll have it fitted, and let you know.

 

[dannyuk]

i have the pipercross viper on my cupra, i cant decide wether to go for itg or stay with this. what do you think?

 

[samevans_FR]

has it made much difference

 

[vRSy]

i had the ITG and there is a huge increase in he top end, but i also slightly agree there was a small loss low down but not a bad loss by any means. driven above 4k it didnt make a difference.

that said i think i would have to give the twintake a try if it gives the low down grunt. much more accessible in everyday driving
