Performance and Benefits:
Tested extensively on both stock and modified vehicles, the Forge Motorsport Uprated Intercooler provides a significant boost in power and torque while keeping intake temperatures low. This means faster spool times, more consistent performance, and reduced risk of engine knock or detonation. On a standard vehicle, gains of 10 horsepower and 29 lb-ft torque have been verified, along with a dramatic drop in intake air temperatures by more than 20°C.
For tuned or turbocharged setups running larger turbos or Stage 2/3 upgrades, the benefits become even more pronounced due to the intercooler’s increased internal volume and efficient airflow design.
Vehicle Fitment:
This intercooler fits the following vehicles:
-
Audi A3 (2005–2013, 1.8L and 2.0L engines, including S Line and Quattro versions)
-
Audi TT (2007–2014, including Quattro, Premium Plus, Prestige, and S Line trims)
