FORGE intercooler for Audi TT RS (8S) (2017-)

Description

The Audi TT RS 8S shares many components with the 8V chassis, but the space behind the bumper is a different shape and the crash bar has also changed. This FORGE intercooler therefore has its own core and crash bar. The 640 x 250 x 100 mm bar and plate core has 56% more surface area and 94% more volume than the stock intercooler.

The end tanks have integrated pipes, so the stock boost hoses can be retained. If you wish, you can replace them with the FORGE FMKT024 silicone boost hose kit. A genuine Audi TT RS crash bar is supplied, which FORGE modifies to accept the larger core. Both the crash bar and the core are finished in black crackle powder coat.

For the dyno test, the car was heatsoaked before each run until the radiator fans switched on and off, which gave an inlet temperature of 36 °C. A stage 1 car (with map and exhaust modifications) made 470.5 bhp with the stock intercooler, at a peak intake temperature of 76 °C. With only this intercooler fitted and no other modifications, it made 520.8 bhp at a peak inlet temperature of 34 °C, a gain of 50 bhp.

Installation

The kit contains everything needed for installation, including full fitting instructions. Installation takes around 3 to 4 hours.
