Throughout the development process we have strived to improve the efficiency and performance of the EA888 GEN4 engine. Our project brief was to develop an intercooler that utilised all of the available space in the original position of the OEM intercooler, and to ensure the inlet air temperature is reduced, without any negative effects on the boost pressure or engine and transmission cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn the MQB chassis the intercooler housing is particularly restricted and confined to a small amount of space, due to it not only housing the intercooler, but also the radiator and air conditioning condenser. The front panel in theory is a sandwich pack that houses the auxiliary cooling components. This means in order to increase the size of the intercooler without paying detriment to the performance of the surrounding items, and with also having very little extra space available, that it can be very difficult to execute the perfect blend of a high flow intercooler within such a close proximity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\/userfiles\/images\/sys\/products\/Intercooler_for_VW_Golf_MK8_GTIClubsportR_13162jpeg.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\/userfiles\/images\/sys\/products\/Intercooler_for_VW_Golf_MK8_GTIClubsportR_72349jpeg.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\/userfiles\/images\/sys\/products\/Intercooler_for_VW_Golf_MK8_GTIClubsportR_13591jpeg.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eOur research and development engineers started with a brief to fit our existing intercooler (FMMK7FMIC) that was for the MK7 platform, to our development VW MK8 Golf R.

This enabled us to ensure the fit was perfect on the vehicle before any prototype castings or machined billet end tanks were produced ready for dyno testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\/userfiles\/images\/sys\/products\/Intercooler_for_VW_Golf_MK8Audi_S3Cupra_Formentor_Leon_52056.png\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\/userfiles\/images\/sys\/products\/Intercooler_for_VW_Golf_MK8Audi_S3Cupra_Formentor_Leon_93115jpeg.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral baffle configurations were designed, and\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting available:\u003c\/strong\u003e Please contact us for a quote.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forge Motorsport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55939004989780,"sku":"FMINT24","price":828.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/0425\/3268\/files\/Intercooler_for_VW_Golf_MK8_GTIClubsportR_28919jpeg.jpg?v=1779723702","url":"https:\/\/fifty9performance.co.uk\/products\/intercooler-for-vw-golf-mk8audi-s3cupra-formentor-and-leon-fmint24","provider":"Fifty9 Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
