FMINT24 is a performance intercooler for the 2021 onwards MQB platform 2.0 DNF code EA888 EVO4 engines. Produced, designed, and tested, at Forge headquarters in UK. Throughout the development process they have strived to improve the efficiency and performance of the EA888 GEN4 engine. The 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.
The consideration of space and the clever design has led to produce an intercooler with over 83% more volume than the OEM intercooler, and with a frontal area increase only 10% !
With an increase also in inlet and outlet sizes with flow in mind, a step have created within the hose so where the hose meets the hot and cold side of the inlet and outlet junctions the transition is seamless, this helps to lesson any disturbance to the airflow and prevent unwanted turbulence. To further aid with flow, the inlet and outlets have been increased to 76mm from the OEM size of 63mm.
The dyno results shows that the peak power was increased from stock by 11bhp and 20nm of torque at 5500RPM with the Forge Motorsport performance intercooler installed.
The best news is that there are significant torque gains throughout the rev range, meaning that the car power will pick up quicker and pull the whole way through to redline, including an impressive gain in BHP from 5000 RPM TO 6500 RPM. Gains on vehicles with re calibrated software and further hardware performance parts can be expected to be a lot higher due to the substantial drop in IATS when FMINT24 is installed.
The Forge Motorsport intercooler is a perfect performance enhancing product that fits directly to the OEM mounting points, making for an easy install, in a relatively short period of time. No cutting of any components is needed, making the installation reversible if the vehicle needs to be returned to stock at any time in the future. The core and end tanks are finished in black textured anti corrosion coating that also aids with its thermal properties and keeps the product looking that bit stealthier or OEM+.
The Forge Motorsport lifetime warranty on all hardware products shows the trust in the quality of Forge products while they are being enjoyed on your pride and joy.
