Description
Enhance the performance of your 2022–2024 Audi RS3 8Y with the Forge Motorsport Intercooler, engineered for maximum cooling efficiency and real-world power gains. This direct-fit upgrade delivers peak gains of 17 horsepower and 14 lb-ft of torque, alongside a massive 153% increase in core volume and a 22°C drop in intake air temperatures under load.
Building on the success of the RS3 8V intercooler, Forge has developed a completely new system to accommodate the unique chassis and crash bar configuration of the 8Y RS3. This kit includes a modified OEM Audi alloy crash bar for perfect fitment and performance. The entire assembly is powder-coated in a stealth black finish, blending seamlessly with OEM components while offering enhanced durability.
The intercooler features a 640mm x 250mm x 130mm bar and plate core, delivering a 55% increase in frontal surface area. The cast end tanks are designed to retain the stock boost hoses or pair with the optional Forge FMKT033 boost hose kit for even greater reliability under higher boost.
This system was independently tested on a Litchfield MAHA dyno. Compared to the stock intercooler, the Forge FMINT33 achieved:
-
Power increase from 424.9BHP to 441.9BHP
-
Torque increase from 382.9 lb-ft to 397.3 lb-ft
-
Inlet air temperature drop from 43°C to 21.8°C
These results were obtained using a completely stock RS3 8Y with only a Milltek cat-back exhaust. Gains are expected to be even more significant on tuned or Stage 1 vehicles, where the OEM intercooler struggles to maintain efficiency.
