Re: R Twintake Install
Installed mine about 5 weeks ago, was surprised how easy it was to fit, I did have someone helping as it's a tedious task on your own!
I didn't put the forge stickers on either, they look tacky!
I'm thinking of getting a TTS cover next to tidy up the bay, hydro dipped in carbon in the center with a gloss black outer should suit it nicely.
How do you find the cabin noise? It's rather loud... I though it would be quieter as it's a closed system but I guess when it has 2 cones it's going to increase the noise levels!

Turn it down for what?

Loving the Twintake more and more!
Literally driving around with windows down, music off and flooring it on boost then snapping off the throttle to get a nice noise:D
Highly recommended

Re: R Twintake Install
3t3p, did you order the Forge Twintake from the ebay account: Forgefactoryshop?
Because I am considering to buy the Twintake from there, but the pictures don't show the same intake as yours for the Rocco R.
If this isn't a problem and it is the same ebay seller as were you bought the Twintake, I will order it straight away!

Re: R Twintake Install
i got mine from the ebay account for 200 quid, it looked different in the picture but if you specify the R you will get the correct one.

Re: R Twintake Install
Thanks mattyfitz, if it is a reliable seller, I will order the twintake for the R. It isn't a fake one or something? Because it is much cheaper than in stores .. If its all good, i will order it and use the tutorial from here

Re: R Twintake Install
Its from the manufacturers Forge. They are meant to have cosmetic damage, but I couldnt find any on mine while I was fitting it. Heres the link:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORGE-UPRATED ... SweW5VcAs7" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
One thing I would say though is the engine cover on these is nothing like I've seen before takes alot of brute force to get it off

Re: R Twintake Install
Alright, I took the courage to order it from de Ebay store! The only problem is that I have a delayed payment from paypal and the seller is on vacation I guess, so it will be the first or second week of January that I will receive the twintake

Re: R Twintake Install
Finally installed the Twintake last weekend. It took some time to get things right, but the final result is perfect! the throttle response is way better and the sound is also nice!

Re: R Twintake Install
I'm considering getting this part for my facelift model. I'm wondering if anyone knows will it fit as normal and is it an easy process to reverse to stock intake if I need to?

Re: R Twintake Install
fitted one to my facelift R, fits exactly as it should! took about 30 minutes in the dark after work one night (as i was eager to put it on) now all the clamps and pipework are together i think i could be fitted and taken off in 5-10 minsstevencrawford08 wrote:I'm considering getting this part for my facelift model.

Re: R Twintake Install
jees that's fast fittment! took me ages but never done it before and was nervous to be extra cautious.
after a week or two driving just check the fittings, might find they need a small amount of tightening as everything settles and has gone through a few expansion/contraction cycles.
It has since remained rock solid throught bumps n'all, I forget that the whole assembly is so light and well anchored.
