Description
Unlock enhanced cooling and power potential with the Forge Motorsport Twintercooler, engineered specifically for the Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk7 and Golf R. Building on the proven success of our Twintercooler systems for the Mk5 and Mk6 platforms, this latest design integrates seamlessly with the factory intercooler to provide a parallel-flow cooling solution that significantly reduces intake temperatures and supports reliable power gains—even under demanding driving conditions.
Positioned at the front of the vehicle—directly in the path of ambient airflow—the Twintercooler sits ahead of the stock radiator, OEM intercooler, and A/C condenser. This placement ensures optimal heat exchange, particularly when paired with the Forge FMMK7FMIC for the ultimate dual-core configuration.
Dyno and real-world testing confirm this intercooler alone delivers a 20°C (69°F) reduction in intake air temperatures with no other modifications. Tested under identical conditions (6°C ambient), the results speak volumes—not only improving performance but setting the stage for more significant gains when ECU tuning is introduced.
The Twintercooler adds 6.1 liters of core volume and increases frontal surface area by 1,016 cm², boosting overall cooling efficiency and charge air density. Constructed with precision-cast end tanks, high-flow channels, and durable TIG-welded aluminum, this intercooler ensures optimal airflow dynamics and robust long-term reliability.
Forge also includes high-performance silicone hoses, engineered in SolidWorks and reinforced with Fluorosilicone inner linings for resistance to oil mist, OAT coolants, and long-life fluids. These hoses not only outlast OEM alternatives but also provide a clean, professional look in the engine bay.
