Their project brief was to develop an intercooler that utilised all of the available space in the original position of the OEM intercooler along with increasing the size again over their hugely successful product FMMK7FMIC. Forge Motorsport also had to ensure the inlet air temperature is reduced, without any negative effects on the boost pressure or engine and transmission cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis final chosen design has increased inlet and outlet sizes along with increasing the volumetric capacity to increase flow which aids with future proofing the design to work well with highly tuned stage 3 plus EA888 Gen 3 engines as well as offering the best cooling solutions for either a stock or mildly modified powerplant. This gives the best package for the enthusiast as they start their journey in enhancing the engines performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo further aid with flow, the inlet and outlets have been increased to 76mm from the OEM size of 63mm, which equates to a 45% increase in surface area. The consideration of space and their clever design has led us to produce several intercooler cores with different fin configurations and internal capacities. Depending on the core design, testing results led Forge Motorsport to choose a bar and plate design with over 83% more volume than the OEM intercooler, and with a frontal area increase of 10%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a perfect performance enhancing product that fits directly to the OEM mounting points, making for a simple install, in a relatively short period of time. No cutting of any components is needed, making the installation reversible if the car needs to be returned to stock at any time in the future. The core and end tanks are finished in their black textured anti corrosion coating that also aids with its thermal properties and keeps the product looking that bit stealthier or OEM+.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeak power was increased from stock by 16BHP and 20NM of torque at 5500RPM with the Forge Motorsport performance intercooler installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGains of 16BHP\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGains of 20NM of torque \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlet air temp reduction (IATS) of up to 58%\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% plug and play \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh flow baffled cast end tanks\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the UK \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis part will replace the following OEM part numbers: 5Q0145803H, 5Q0145803K, 5Q0145803L, 5Q0145803P, 5Q0145803S \u0026amp; 5Q0145803N\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003enote: image is for illustration purposes and may differ on delivery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forge Motorsport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58471424459097,"sku":"FMINT32","price":823.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/7765\/9225\/files\/FMINT32.jpg?v=1783010972","url":"https:\/\/www.rivalperformance.co.uk\/products\/forge-motorsport-race-intercooler-volkswagen-golf-r-mk7-mk7-5","provider":"Rival Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
