Whats the differences between the Forge Golf (mk4) TIP and the Forge Ibiza TIP? Is there any reason to be choosing one over another?

Only difference i've heard of is the DV port being further away from the MAF on the Ibiza TIP, and closer to the MAF on the Golf TIP, this correct? Also i hear that you have tobung up some ports on when fitting the Golf TIP to the Ibiza?

Ibiza one is much easier, and fits better, as for moving the MAF further way, from the DV, fitting a 45deg bend and moving the filter and maf further away rules out the need for a golf tip.

Hmm, so no real reason to get the Golf one then. Other than maybe a louder DV noise as the DV is closer to the air filter.

Dont bother unless you want to stall your car in every gear when you let off the throttle under load. I kid you not, i done it in the dark at 50mph on a mountain road. Scary.

But i've since moved the MAF to directly after the filter and its all good.

Where was your MAF before? I do remember you having stalling issues, something to do with the DV blowing to much air back past the MAF was it? Do you have before and after pics? (Before moving the MAF)

I only used to get it on sub 10mph driving or at junctions, still given the choice I'd go forge!

maybe ive just got used to revving it a bit more pulling away lol, i bought the tip and k03s off the same person, i would prefer the ibiza one but its not made a big enough impact for me to go out and buy one when this one works fine

I dunno, i though they all had TCS (or ASC in the Gold IIRC). Maybe it has another port for a sensor or something.
