The Forge Motorsport Race Intercooler Kit is an advanced cooling solution engineered for vehicles built on the VAG MQB platform running the EA888 Gen 3 2.0 TSI engine. Designed to outperform both the original equipment intercooler and previous cooling iterations, this system delivers an impressive reduction in intake air temperatures of up to 58%. Dyno testing confirms repeatable power increases of up to 16BHP and 20NM of torque on modified test vehicles. By managing thermal heat-soak, this race intercooler guarantees steady power delivery lap after lap, making it an excellent upgrade for high-power Stage 2 or Stage 3 vehicles.

Key Product Features

• Proven Performance Gains: Delivers increases of up to 16BHP and 20NM of torque over stock configurations.
