Description
Take your Audi TT RS (8J) to the next level with the Forge Motorsport High-Performance Intercooler – purpose-built for serious power gains and proven to handle over 500+ BHP. Developed in collaboration with top tuning partners, this intercooler is one of the largest and most efficient options on the market today, delivering unmatched performance gains even for mildly tuned vehicles.
Replacing the restrictive OEM intercooler (OE Part No. 8J0145804B), the Forge Motorsport unit offers a 130% increase in volumetric capacity, growing from the factory 6.8 liters to a massive 15.7 liters. This substantial improvement eliminates bottlenecks in the intake system, providing greater airflow to the throttle body and significantly reducing intake air temperatures.
Dyno-tested and real-world proven, this intercooler delivers measurable gains:
-
37°C reduction in intake air temps
-
Power gains of up to +25 BHP with just a Stage 1 tune
-
Over +52 BHP achieved on a highly tuned TT RS
-
30% increase in surface area for enhanced thermal efficiency
Constructed with a robust bar and plate core, the intercooler features optimized end tanks designed using advanced CAD modeling to ensure consistent air distribution and reduced turbulence. This results in faster cooldown times, better throttle response, and more consistent performance during repeated hard pulls or spirited driving.
To support this massive intercooler, Forge includes a modified OEM crash bar (OE Part No. 8J0807109B) which doubles as an intercooler support bracket, allowing for a secure and seamless installation.
Finished in Forge’s exclusive textured black coating, this intercooler doesn’t just perform – it looks as good as it functions. As always, it is backed by Forge Motorsport’s lifetime warranty, offering peace of mind for daily driving, track days, or full race builds.
