Installed yesterday. Super easy, I reused the factory horn brackets instead of drilling the crash bar. Power feels way more consistent now. Here's a few logs:
Stock - https://datazap.me/u/auditech/intercooler?log=2&data=5-9-11-16

Twincooler - https://datazap.me/u/auditech/log-1527970339?log=0&data=5-9-11

Given the cost, that's actually pretty impressive. I'd love to see through 2nd and 3rd, or just a more sustained pull, but that's not a bad T delta at all. Probably a good option for those staying at stage 1.

Just finished mine. Took me about 4 hours, going really slow with lots of breaks. Could probably have done it in half that time if I was motivated. The install went pretty smoothly. Just follow the Forge instructions (there's a PDF on their site), or watch one of the YouTube videos. The only complaints I have are that I had to bend the mounting brackets just a hair to get it more centered (was not difficult), and the boost hoses could stand to be a hair longer (they were a bit of a pain to get on).

Heading out now to get some logs - will follow up later.

Thanks for this info. Considering the price point and relative ease of install, I think this should suffice for day to day with a JB4.

Even paired with a golf R intercooler and an ethanol blend the IAT are climbing by the middle of a single gear pull.
