Re: My 09 GTI

I'm getting the VTA because it ventilates 100% of the blowby gas. The recirc can will capture about 80% from what I've been told. Also the VTA is apparently better proven for colder climates. I'm just committed to cleaning my engine bay of any film that is left from the can ventilation. I talked to another guy about his VTA, and he says it's not a big issue, and it only spreads within 1 foot of the can filter.

I'm going to the next Meet for Calgary, May 6 @ 8pm over at the Southport Moxies.

Well after reading what you just posted about the VTA, I may need to get a VTA instead of a recirc. now. Plus it's cheaper ahah. The smell people say turned me to the recirc but it shouldn't be to bad then. And like you say..it's for the engine so I appreciate the info! Might need to invest in one now instead of waiting for the recirc. BTW where would you dispose out all that waste?

Does your intake sound as bad ass as this?

haha I saw that vid before...maybe I may need to do a sound clip and let you be the judge of that. Although I don't find that sound clips sound as good as what it actually sounds like when it's in your face haha

Nice work luuluu, Forge Twintake right? No kidding the stock intake is just a big space filler. I noticed a big of oil in my rubber piece to the turbo inlet also. (catch can on order!) It took me forever to get that one piece off because my channel locks kept slipping on the damn clamp! I'm so glad I got rid of those. I can take my intake off in no time now.

Yea it's a pretty sweet intake if you ask me. The car seems to respond a lot better and quicker. I love it. The stock intake takes so much space its ridiculous haha, I'm glad there's some space now. I'm still waiting to get the Forge catch can...still haven't heard any updates on the release yet. You getting the BSH? VTA or recirc.? And yes, that rubber piece took forever also for us to take out haha, such a pain. We should meet up sometime I wanna see your GTI haha

Re: My 09 GTI

I don't really understand the twin filter thing..... its highly doubtful that a 2.0L engine maxes out a single pipe....(and filter) Looks cool though...

Re: My 09 GTI

Okay guys here's the install that my buddy Max did with the Forge Twintake.

Here's all the parts layed out nicely


Unscrewed the MAF sensor from the pipe.


The OEM intake pulled out of the engine bay, the intake itself is a huge motherf%$!



Oil on the rubber piece that connects the pipe to the turbo inlet


Installing the new Forge intake pipe


Side shot of the CF cannisters with the filter inside.


The finished product


This thing sounds awesome and personally, I think worth every penny. All in all I'm pretty happy with it. C&C welcomed.

Re: My 09 GTI

Neuspeed P-flo? Price? Where'd you get it from? or was that a BSH?

Actually neither haha I got the Forge intake. I'll add some pics later when I'm at home.

Re: My 09 GTI

Hey Luluu what coils did you get??? I can't decide on which coils to get at all, or a clubsport autotech kit, car looks great!

[luuluu]

Re: My 09 GTI

Yeah I'm pretty stoked about getting everything installed. Can't wait for the intake.

I'll be heading down south to Florida at the end of this month for 2 weeks. Should be awesome. I was thinking of maybe possibly heading down to Forge in Orlando since I'll be there for Disneyworld. Just not to sure if I'll have enough time to get around to it. Roatan looks amazing have fun!

Re: My 09 GTI

Nice. Interested in the DIY for the coils, and looking forward to seeing a pic of your intake Where are you going on Vacation? I'm heading on a dive trip to Roatan in 11 days!
