FORGE intercooler Twintercooler for VW Golf GTI Mk7

Description

The FORGE Twintercooler intercooler for the VW Golf GTI Mk7 follows the design used on the Mk5 and Mk6. The additional core runs in parallel with the stock intercooler, or with the FORGE FMMK7FMIC intercooler that mounts in the stock location. The core sits in front of the standard radiator, intercooler and air conditioning condenser pack, directly in the flow of cold air coming through the main lower grille.

In comparison runs on the same dyno on the same day at an ambient temperature of 6 °C, intake air temperature dropped by 20 °C with no other modifications. Power and torque increased slightly, the full benefit of the lower intake temperatures is realised after an ECU remap. The system gains an extra 6.1 litres of capacity and 1016 cm² of frontal area.

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

Installation

No bumper modification or cutting of the vehicle is required and installation takes less than 2 hours. All necessary parts and full instructions are included. The original O-rings and seals must be retained for use on the FORGE hoses.
