Following on from their very successful intercooler for the RS3 8P chassis, the Forge intercooler for the RS3 8V chassis builds on their 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 55% more surface area than stock, and an even more impressive 94% more volume. The end tanks are made with integrated pipes in order to retain the stock boost hoses. Just like on the 8P chassis, Forge supply a genuine Audi RS3 crash bar which they modify in house in order to accept the new larger core, then finish both the crash bar and core in their standard black crackle finish powder coat for maximum longevity.
