Produced, designed, and tested, at Forge Motorsport's headquarters in Gloucester UK. Throughout the development process Forge Motorsport has strived to improve the efficiency and performance of the EA888 GEN4 engine. Forge Motorsport's project brief was to develop an intercooler that utilised all of the available space in the original position of the OEM intercooler, and to ensure the inlet air temperature is reduced, without any negative effects on the boost pressure or engine and transmission cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the MQB chassis the intercooler housing is particularly restricted and confined to a small amount of space, due to it not only housing the intercooler, but also the radiator and air conditioning condenser. The front panel in theory is a sandwich pack that houses the auxiliary cooling components. This means in order to increase the size of the intercooler without paying detriment to the performance of the surrounding items, and with also having very little extra space available, that it can be very difficult to execute the perfect blend of a high flow intercooler within such a close proximity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForge Motorsport's research and development engineers started with a brief to fit Forge Motorsport's existing intercooler (FMMK7FMIC) that was for the MK7 platform, to Forge Motorsport's development VW MK8 Golf R. Upon installation, Forge Motorsport then tried to establish if Forge Motorsport could re-engineer the intercooler with an\u003cstrong\u003eincreased inlet and outlet size\u003c\/strong\u003ealong with\u003cstrong\u003eincreasing the volumetric capacity to increase flow\u003c\/strong\u003ealong with future proofing the design to work well with highly tuned stage 3 plus EA888 Gen 4 engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing a combination of scanning software and traditional measuring methods, the design was created. This was then fine-tuned by Forge Motorsport's flow dynamics simulations programs (CFD), and the\u003cstrong\u003eend tanks were initially created by 3D printers\u003c\/strong\u003e. This enabled Forge Motorsport to ensure the fit was perfect on the vehicle before any prototype castings or machined billet end tanks were produced ready for dyno testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeveral baffle configurations were designed, and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCupra – Ateca – 2.0 TSI – 2023-\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCupra – Formentor – 2.0 TSI (245 BHP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCupra – Formentor – 2.0 TSI (310 BHP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCupra – Leon – 2.0 TSI (245 BHP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCupra – Leon – 2.0 TSI (300 BHP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen – Golf – MK8 – Clubsport 45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen – Golf – MK8 – GTI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen – Golf – MK8 – R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen – Tiguan – Mk2 (AD\/BW) 2016- – R 2021 Onwards (Gen 4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi – S3 – 8Y (2020 - Onwards)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi – S3 – 8Y Sportback (2020 - Onwards)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi – TT – Mk3 (2015 - Onwards) – 45 TFSI (2021 - Onwards) (8S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi – TT – Mk3 (2015 - Onwards) – TTS 8S (316bhp late 2022-)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi – SQ2 – (2022 - Onwards)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen – Arteon – (2020 - Onwards) – R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolkswagen – T-Roc – R (2022 - Onwards)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Forge Motorsport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58356087816575,"sku":"FMINT24","price":951.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/torquelab.eu\/products\/intercooler-for-vw-golf-mk8audi-s3cupra-formentor-and-leon-fmint24","provider":"Torque Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
