FORGE intercooler for Mini Cooper S 1.6

Description

The FORGE air-to-air intercooler for the Mini Cooper S was released at Autosport 2005. Development involved testing many types of intercooler core and end tank designs in various environments. In the early stages, an air-to-water chargecooler system was developed alongside it. The air-to-air design achieved significantly better temperature reductions, so development focused on this option alone.

Each stage of development was tested on a vehicle in various states of tune, with and without performance software, supercharger reduction pulleys, bonnet scoops and performance air intake systems. The manufacturer states an improvement of up to 29 % over the original equipment. This intercooler is intended for those looking to increase engine power.
