Intercooler Forge Motorsport FMINT33 for Audi RS3 8Y

The Forge intercooler for the RS3 8Y chassis reinforces their reputation for cooling solutions that deliver a real increase in power and an impressive drop in temperature. Although the 8Y chassis shares many components with the older 8V, the space available behind the bumper is different in shape and the protective bar has also been modified. This required the design of a completely new intercooler and a new configuration of the protective bar for this latest chassis.

The protective bar that Audi installed on the RS3 8Y is made of steel, but this Forge Motorsport intercooler kit uses an original Audi alloy protective bar that has been modified to accommodate the huge racing intercooler. Compared to the weight of the original intercooler and protective bar, it is only 1 kg heavier, which means that the additional weight has no impact on performance and is more than offset by the power gains achieved when installed.

The RS3 8Y core is a huge 640x250x130 with a bar and plate design. This gives it an impressive 55% increase in surface area over the original OEM item, and an even more impressive 153% increase in volume. The end tanks are manufactured with integrated pipes to retain the original boost hoses, but you can also replace the standard hoses with the FO-FMKT033 boost hose kit (sold separately) if desired. This can help prevent hose expansion and failure when increasing boost pressure, such as on the 8V chassis.
