Forge Front Mount Intercooler for VW T5 Bus/Van
The Forge Front Mount Intercooler is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for VW T5 bus and van variants. This intercooler is larger than the original unit, offering a direct plug-in replacement without the need for additional hoses or pipework. With its increased front cross-sectional area, this intercooler improves cooling and power recovery.
Compared to the OEM intercooler, the Forge Front Mount Intercooler offers lower resistance without adding turbo lag. Our own van experienced a significant gain of 10hp and 20 ft/lbs of torque with just the installation of this intercooler. Drivers who have used this product have commented on the noticeable improvement in performance.
This intercooler is a must-have for those who have used a tuning box or updated their engine management software. It is compatible with various VW T5 engines, including AXB, AXD, AXE, AXC, BRR, BRS, BNZ, BPC, BLU, CAAA, CAAB, CAAC, CAAD, CAAE, CCHA, and CCHB.
The dimensions of the Forge Front Mount Intercooler are 680x290x40, making it larger than the stock intercooler (720x215x30). It is also compatible with the new 2010 onwards VW T5.1 2.0TDI single turbo models with 140bhp, 114bhp, 102bhp, and 84bhp.
