FORGE induction kit for VW Golf Mk5 R32

Description

The FORGE induction kit for the VW Golf Mk5 R32 uses a Pipercross high-flow foam cone filter. The filter sits in an enclosed carbon fibre composite canister, which connects directly to the intake pickup at the front of the vehicle through an inlet scoop made for this model.

All parts are connected with silicone couplers. The system works as a ram air intake and draws only air from outside the vehicle, with no hot air from the engine bay.

In FORGE dyno testing on Stage 2 tuned vehicles, the kit gained up to 10 peak wheel horsepower over the stock airbox and filter. Results depend on the vehicle's modifications and tune.

Installation

Some models have a noise resonator on the air intake pipe. It must be disconnected and left unused when the kit is fitted. This does not affect the kit's performance. Tighten the hose clamp between the filter and its counterpart to 2–2.4 Nm.
