FORGE intercooler Twintercooler for VW Mk6 Golf R

Description

The FORGE Twintercooler for the Golf R follows the layout used for the transverse FSI and TSI VAG engines. It adds a second front mounted core in a parallel configuration to the existing OEM front mount. This gives high cooling efficiency with minimal modification to the vehicle. The kit is unique to the Golf R and shares no parts with any other Twintercooler kit.

Due to the space constraints of the Mk6 Golf R, the kit uses its own core, which is slightly thinner but wider and taller, giving more overall surface area for heat dissipation. The high-flow cast end tanks and mounting brackets are also unique to this application. Dyno testing showed the gains mainly in the upper rev range and road testing confirmed lower inlet temperatures, also in combination with a performance software upgrade.

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.

Installation

No cutting of the vehicle is required. The necessary hardware and instructions are included. The original O-rings and seals must be retained for use on the FORGE hoses.
