Intercooler for Audi RS3 8Y

Following on from our very successful intercooler and performance products for the RS3 8V chassis, the Forge intercooler for the RS3 8Y chassis builds on our reputation for delivering cooling solutions, that offer real-world increases in power and impressive temperature drops. Whilst the 8Y chassis shares many components with the older 8V, 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 8Y core is a huge 640x250x130 with a bar and plate design. This gives it an impressive 55% increase in surface area over the stock OEM item, and an even more awe-inspiring 153% more volume. The end tanks are made with integrated pipes to retain the stock boost hoses, though you can also replace the standard hoses with our  FMKT033 boost hose set if you so wish. This can help prevent hose expansion and failure when running increased boost pressures, just like on the 8V chassis. Before getting to work on the Dyno, we spec’ d three different types of cores, one of these being bar and plate, and two being a tube and fin construction, with all three cores having different internal and external fin pitches and configurations. This is to ensure we deliver the best possible products for our customers, which is proven time and time again by one of the world leaders in the performance industry.
