Forge Motorsport Front Mounting Intercooler for the Peugeot 208 GTi (Pre Facelift) — Intercooler for Peugeot 208 GTI Pre Facelift. Technical specifications and compatibility are based on Forge Motorsport product data.
Product Details
The stock intercooler on the 208 GTi is the same compromised side mount intercooler used on the 207 GTi so Forge Motorsport know its not up to the job even on a stock car. On a remapped engine with the stock intercooler Forge Motorsport was seeing inlet temperatures of 105°C (215°F) –the highest Forge Motorsport has recorded on any car ever!This has a huge detrimental effect on power and torque.
Forge Motorsport's intercooler is afull replacementsingle pass (left to right) core which mounts to the stock crash bar in the car. The pipework supplied with Forge Motorsport's intercooler joins to the pipes that connect to the stock intercooler so installation is easy. The Forge silicone hoses in this kit have been designed toinclude an expensive inner liner of modified siliconeknown as Fluorosilicone which means the hoses are suitable to be used with either modern long-life coolants, Organic Acid Technology coolants (O.A.T.) or air containing oil mist. The construction of the hoses has been engineered to exceed that of the OEM fitments and will enhance any engine bay both technically and aesthetically - The use of a Fluorosilicone liner ensures that Forge silicone hoses are the clear market leader.
The only cutting needed is to the ducting on the radiator to allow the pipework to pass through.All the silicon hoses, hard pipes, clips, bolts, nuts and jubilee clips needed to install the intercooler are included, along with fullinstallation instructions.Performance wise, the car Forge Motorsport used had a Superchips remap. Forge Motorsport tested the stock intercooler and the Forge intercooler back to back on the same day and the increases were dramatic
Intake temperature dropped form 105°C to 45°C - a drop of 60°C
Power went from 190BHP to 224BHP - an increase of 34BHP
Torque went from 222 lb/ft to 244 lb/ft - an increase of 22 lb/ft
You can look at the dyno graph comparison of the intercooler showing the increase in performance, but PLEASE REMEMBER this was specific to the car Forge Motorsport had in for testing, and you may not get the same results from a stock or mildly tuned car.
All parts necessary for installation are included, together will full instructions.
