Great read, you have obviously been doing some reading up on mods etc.
Car shaping up nicely, keep up the good work
Nice purchase mate, front mounts are a must. Even on my OEM map I have seen a difference I'd recommend beading up the ends of the hard pipes so you don't have no issues with them popping off
I must admit this interests me alot, why I want Forge is because... Well it's Forge so quality is assured.
BUT this TX one is being used alot.
Full review please
I like this thread bud, all i need now for ine is the TX autosport front mount and exhaust then mine will be complete also.
I have to say, i had the exact same problem with the hid ballast faling off too. Mine fell right down and to the left of the charge pipe, and it was wedged. Needless to say the surface of the ballast was fooked to say the least, but ive positioned it so no one knows the truth lol
TX kit is great. Does exactly what it's meant to and reduces intake temps by 10-15 degrees average as my runs showed last year during the summer.
I would get ALL metal pipework beaded before you fit it. Then have all clamps machine tightened so you don't go through what I did.
Works a treat now, but I've had boost leaks from top of the kit down to the bottom because they're not beaded and it was hand tightened.
I've fitted one of these to mine. Unless you have relocated the battery you will need to cut a small section out of the battery tray to allow this to fit.Another thing to get fitted and mark off the todo list
Forge Map Pipe.

Make sure you have the adaptor to allow your OEM MAP sensor to fit as the LCR one is smaller OD to the other VAG ones.
Also couldn't get the OEM MAP sensor out of the OEM MAP pipe so watch out for this too
