Following on from Forge's very successful intercooler for the RS3 8P chassis, the Forge intercooler for the RS3 8V chassis builds on our reputation for delivering cores that offer real-world increases in power and temperature drops.
Whilst the 8V chassis shares many components with the older 8P, the space available behind the bumper is a different shape and the crash bar has also changed. This required a whole new intercooler and crash bar setup for this latest chassis.
The RS3 8V core is a huge 640x250x100 and of bar and plate design. This gives it a huge 87% more surface area than stock, and an even more impressive 133% more volume. The end tanks are made with integrated pipes in order to retain the stock boost hoses, though you can also replace the hoses with our a silicone boost hose set if you so wish. Just like on the 8P chassis, this kit comes complete with a genuine Audi RS3 crash bar which Forge modify in house in order to accept the new larger core, then finish both the crash bar and core in our standard black crackle finish powder coat for maximum longevity.
On the standard car Forge tested on, it made 362bhp completely stock (so largely in line with what Audi quote) with a peak intake temperature of 58ºC. With just this intercooler fitted and no other modifications, the same car made 386bhp with a peak inlet temperature of 23ºC, a gain of 24bhp and a drop of 35ºC. Gains on mapped cars will likely be even more impressive as the stock intercooler core really starts to struggle on stage 1 mapped cars.
The kit contains full instructions for installation, which should take around 3.5 hours, and a complete kit which includes everything needed.
