No pun intended? hehe
Whilst the Forge TWINtake looks pretty, I'm sure that the VF Design intake has awesome performance. One of the main issues is the size of the pipe going back to the MAF sensor, and its position etc. It's a full 3" pipe. Most other intakes have smaller MAF pipes.
So i dropped my R off to have some rattles looked at that have finally given me the ****s, figured I'd get them to fit my replacement DSG paddles at the same time after having them in the cupboard for 8mths + hehe
Anyway they gave me a Tiguan 125TSI 4Motion to get to work. Ok so its not the 147TSI but seriously, anyone that came on here saying that they're a good option compared to the R is on crack. First thing I thought to myself when I got up there was, what a farken truck! And that's saying something because the R being a golf is hardly sporty.
Don't care how much power you put through it, nothing will change the fact that its an SUV and feels bloody huge. You might be able to get rid of the float with some suspension work but I just don't get the point. Had to say it, much to Corey's delight I'm sure!

LOL Dave, i wouldn't go as far as saying the Tiguan is a truck and by no means is it a large SUV, in fact it's one of the smaller one's on the market. As far as handling and performance, standard anyways, there is a big difference i agree.
We have the 147 and it goes damn well and will embarrass many sedans from the lights but i wouldn't have the confidence to take corners like i do in the R. It is an SUV after all, the wife loves it, it's got plenty of power and enough room for the kids so i think it does it's job well.
I must add though, the wife still loves any opportunity to drive the R.

I have driven a Tiguan a few times - a friend has one.
I have also driven a new Forester a few times as my uncle has one, and the previous shape Outback countless times as it's my dads daily driver.
The Outback is by far the best handling of them all.
