This gives it a huge 55% more surface area than stock, and an even more impressive 94% more volume. The end tanks are made with integrated pipes in order to retain the stock boost hoses, though you can also replace the hoses with our \u003c\/span\u003eFMKT024\u003cspan\u003e boost hose set if you so wish. Just like on the 8P chassis, we supply a genuine Audi RS3 crash bar which we modify in house in order to accept the new larger core, then finish both the crash bar and core in our standard black crackle finish powder coat for maximum longevity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Forge Motorsport Audi 8V RS3 Intercooler - ML Performance US\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1272\/9301\/files\/Forge_Motorsport_Audi_8V_RS3_Intercooler_-_ML_Performance_UK2jpg_2048x2048.jpg?v=1600939658\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"2048x2048\" width=\"2048x2048\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1272\/9301\/files\/Forge_Motorsport_Audi_8V_RS3_Intercooler_-_ML_Performance_UK2jpg_2048x2048.jpg?v=1600939658\" alt=\"Forge Motorsport Audi 8V RS3 Intercooler - ML Performance US\" style=\"float: none;\" data-mce-style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs shown in the graph above, for both tests we let the car heatsoak on the dyno until the radiator fans tripped on and off (which gives an inlet temperature of 36 deg C), then do a dyno pull from there. This gives a more consistent result and reflects real-world driving conditions more accurately. You can easily see the Forge intercooler cools much quicker and delivers a much greater drop in temperature compared to OEM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the standard car we tested on, it made 362bhp completely stock (so largely in line with what Audi quote) with a peak intake temperature of 58 deg C. With just this intercooler fitted and no other modifications, the same car made 386bhp with a peak inlet temperature of 23 deg C, a gain of 24bhp and a drop of 35 deg C. Gains on mapped cars will likely be even more impressive as the stock intercooler core really starts to struggle on stage 1 mapped cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit contains full instructions for installation, which should take around 3.5 hours, and a complete kit which includes everything needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\/userfiles\/Forge%20cooling%20document%20revision%2021st%20February%202018.compressed.pdf\" style=\"color: #2b00ff;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClick here to find out about information and care for your\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff; text-decoration: underline;\" color=\"#2b00ff\"\u003eForge Motorsport cooling product.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Forge Motorsport Audi 8V RS3 Intercooler - ML Performance US\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1272\/9301\/files\/Forge_Motorsport_Audi_8V_RS3_Intercooler_-_ML_Performance_UK3_2048x2048.jpg?v=1600939833\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1272\/9301\/files\/Forge_Motorsport_Audi_8V_RS3_Intercooler_-_ML_Performance_UK3_2048x2048.jpg?v=1600939833\" alt=\"Forge Motorsport Audi 8V RS3 Intercooler - ML Performance US\" style=\"float: none;\" data-mce-style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe above dyno graph shows a Forge customer making gains of 52HP with this intercooler\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdditionally you may purchase the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #2b00ff;\" title=\"Forge Logo Stencil\" href=\"\/products\/forge-logo-stencil\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eForge Logo Stencil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e that you can use to spray or paint onto the intercooler.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi RS3 8V 2.5 TFSI (2015-2017)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi RS3 Facelift 8.5V \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2.5 TFSI\u003c\/span\u003e (2017-present)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\/?download_id=322\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1272\/9301\/files\/Download_Installalation_Guide_2020_Aug_Cropped_2ac8f715-ae3a-4856-9bd7-de224ba537bf_2048x2048.jpg?v=1599214826\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFMINT4\u003c\/span\u003e  (No ACC Bracket)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFMINT4ACC (With ACC Bracket + £27.47)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufactured by\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForge Motorsport\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLimited Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forge","offers":[{"title":"No ACC Bracket","offer_id":48680012251361,"sku":"FMINT4","price":1410.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"With ACC Bracket + £27.47","offer_id":48680012284129,"sku":"FMINT4ACC","price":1143.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/7608\/4961\/files\/FORGEAUDI8VRS3INTERCOOLER_01.jpg?v=1784820897","url":"https:\/\/mlperformanceusa.com\/products\/forge-motorsport-audi-8v-rs3-intercooler","provider":"ML Performance USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
