FORGE intercooler Twintercooler for VW Golf MK5 Edition 30

Description

The FORGE Twintercooler for the 2.0 FSiT engine is developed specifically for the Golf Edition 30. Its twin-core design raises cooling efficiency across the whole rev range compared with a single-core setup. High-flow cast end tanks give smooth air transition through the core.

The OEM alloy intercooler stays in the car. For the Edition 30 the kit includes special silicone hoses that mate to the OEM intercooler, for easier installation and improved flow. In testing, inlet temperature dropped from 102 °C to 82 °C at 6600 rpm. Power and torque gains were confirmed on the dyno.

The FORGE silicone hoses have an inner liner of fluorosilicone, which makes them suitable for modern long-life coolants, Organic Acid Technology (OAT) coolants and oil mist.
