I think the fact that it's Forge I wouldnt worry but to lose your car for 2 weeks and get a few hundred quid isnt worth it to anyone IMO.

Jim

That depends on where you work doesn't it?
If you work abroad or offshore, then it doesn't matter if you are without your car when you are away...so I'm sure there are people who are happy to be without.
When Star Performance developed a FMIC with Forge for the 8L S3, I was without my car for 4 weeks...and I was paying for that, not getting it free!

Reducing my Golf count by the week....
..but gaining motorcycles.

I cant give any more info than what i have said really guys i understand its a big ask to be without a car for 2 weeks etc and i know you wont be getting a nice shiney new exhaust for free but this is how forge like to operate. They could buy there own mk6 if they really wanted to infact there us department has there own. They like to give customers the opportunity to give something aswell as giving something back.

Ess_three i do think there trying a new set up which could possibly do the trick but without a car they cannot find out as you understand these guys don't rest untill they have perfected something in a similar way with the 007p and 008 dv valve. I have high respect for this company and I myself hope to be working for them next year  :smiley:

I did think it may be a good idea to ask on the forum and asked my mate before hand if he wanted me too as this is where the golf guys live (and audi)  :grin: i can tell already this is'nt such a good idea now  :sad:

the way you put that is very dramatic  however yes they will probably take it apart carefully to do the mods they need to which shouldnt be alot different from the mk5 then test it at there proffesional rolling road where it wont be ragged as you word it this is a professional company which handle cars far more superior than a mk6 golf . they are the leading suppliers to do with vag cars and most people would jump to this opportunity i understand where your coming from cheers

I wouldn't say "most people would jump to this opportunity" but if someone does, great, it can only help to have more products available = lower, more competitive prices. Anyway, thanks for posting this :cool:

If I was after a new intake system, I would not have a problem with Forge using my car as a guinea pig, they are a well respected Co and very professional at what they do,
But I am quite content with my Carbonio  :smiley:

^^^ That's what I thought Neil, but Forge had my Mk6 for a week to try to develop a Twintake before the for Mk6 which was unsuccessful and can say it's not something I would recommend people do.

'scuse me mister can I ave a lend of yer motor for a couple of weeks.??

Give us a bell before you deliver it as we're a bit busy at the moment.
We'll look after it (honest) and if we break it then you can always try and claim on your guarantee thingy.




We'll add a couple of bits to your motor to make up for the petrol......

Would be a better deal if they were to offer every mod they do for the mk6 methinks. :drool:
