Due to the RSQ3 using the legendary 2.5 TSFI engine used in the RS3 Forge Motorsport knew that Forge Motorsport's intercooler design for that vehicle would work perfectly well on the RSQ3, however there are differences behind the bumper, so Forge Motorsport has modified this kit to fit the F3 chassis perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core used for FMINT38 is a huge 640x250x100 and of bar and plate design. This gives it a\u003cstrong\u003ehuge 55% more surface area than OEM cooler\u003c\/strong\u003e, and an even more impressive\u003cstrong\u003e94% more volume\u003c\/strong\u003e(8.2 litres increased to 16l litres). The end tanks are made with integrated pipes in order to retain the stock boost hoses, though you can also replace the hoses with Forge Motorsport's\u003cstrong\u003eFMKT024\u003c\/strong\u003eboost hose set if you so wish.

For example, a bar and plate style core, a tube and fin style core along with different fin pitches and heights i.e. 22 ,17 or 12 fins per inch as well as changing the internal fin pitches\/shapes and density within the tube enabling to fine tune the amount of pressure drop the intercooler produces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePressure drop is not always a bad thing, as Forge Motorsport's testing and research has proven on various projects, this is because the pressurized air velocity is being stalled by the pressure drop within the cooler thus allowing more time to cool the air within the cooler itself, as air passes through the non-pressurized face of the core, that is open to the atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToo much pressure drop can of course have a problem on the higher performance engines as the intercooler reaches its maximum efficiency the turbo has to work a lot harder to force the air through the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAudi – RSQ3 – 2017- (F3)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Forge Motorsport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58356086538623,"sku":"FMINT38","price":1640.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/torquelab.eu\/products\/intercooler-for-audi-rsq3-f3-fmint38","provider":"Torque Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
