Forge Motorsport Uprated Replacement Front Mounting Intercooler for VW Mk5
The Forge Motorsport Uprated Replacement Front Mounting Intercooler is a high-performance upgrade for your VW Mk5. Designed to replace the original front mounted intercooler, this intercooler can be used on its own or in combination with Forge Motorsport’s “Twintercooler” kit.
Featuring a 650x400x50mm Bar and Plate core, this intercooler delivers exceptional cooling efficiency. Extensive testing has been conducted on both standard vehicles and those equipped with larger turbos at 400hp.
On a standard car, the Forge Motorsport Uprated Replacement Front Mounting Intercooler achieved impressive results, including a power increase of +10hp, a torque increase of +29 ft/lbs, and a significant reduction in the inlet temperature of over 20°C. These gains are even more pronounced on tuned engines.
The intercooler is equipped with 63mm inlet and outlet tubes, making it compatible with Forge Motorsport’s twintercooler hoses. For easy installation, the bayonet coupler can be removed, or Forge Motorsport includes their FMKT010 silicone hoses for those not using the twintercooler kit.
It is important to note that the original O-rings/seals must be retained for use with Forge Motorsport hoses.
Fitting of the Forge Motorsport Uprated Replacement Front Mounting Intercooler is available at our performance workshop at Progressive Parts. Upgrade your VW Mk5 with this high-quality intercooler for improved performance and cooling efficiency.
