We utilised our CAD design to ensure that the end tanks flow in the best way possible, spreading the compressed air evenly throughout, this in-turn lead to superior performance over the stock item. We tested several core configurations during development, with the best all-rounder being our bar and plate design. The overall surface area of the intercooler has increased by \u003cstrong\u003e30%\u003c\/strong\u003e providing more cooling capabilities. We utilised all the available space with a volumetric capacity of \u003cstrong\u003e15.7l\u003c\/strong\u003e, resulting in an overall \u003cstrong\u003e130%\u003c\/strong\u003e increase in capacity over the OEM, making this intercooler \u003cstrong\u003eone of the\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003elargest on the market today. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis intercooler is complimented with our modified OEM crash bar \u003cstrong\u003e(OE Part No. \u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e8J0807109B)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, that also doubles as the intercooler support.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"pure-g pure-g-gapped\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"pure-u-1 pure-u-md-1-2\"\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\/userfiles\/images\/sys\/products\/Intercooler_for_Audi_TT_RS_29038jpeg.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"pure-u-1 pure-u-md-1-2\"\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\/userfiles\/images\/sys\/products\/Intercooler_for_Audi_TT_RS_21894jpeg.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do we test different cores?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen developing an intercooler, we will test several different cores for each application. For example, a bar and plate style core, and a tube and fin style core. Our tube and fin will be tested with different fin pitches and heights, e.g., 22 fins per inch or 17 fins per inch. We will also look at changing the internal fin pitches\/shapes and density within the tube, enabling to fine tune the amount of pressure drop the intercooler produces.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003ePressure drop is not always a bad thing, as our testing and research has proven on various projects. This is because the pressurized air velocity is being stalled by the pressure drop within the cooler, thus allowing more time to cool the air within the cooler itself, as air passes through the non-pressurized face of the core that is open to the atmosphere. Too much pressure drop can of course have a problem on the higher performance engines. As the intercooler reaches its maximum efficiency, the turbo must work a lot harder to force the air through the core. This in-turn creates higher inlet air temps (IAT’s) due to the turbo creating more heat as it is being worked harder.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eHaving no pressure drop can also prove to be inefficient, as the cooler will not lower the charge temperature again, resulting in higher inlet air temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDyno Results\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTesting was completed using an independent dyno, we used Powerstation in Tewksbury on their MAHA dyno. This was manufactured by the same people who currently supply BMW M Sport and Mercedes Benz for all their engine calibration and dyno testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" class=\"center-block\" src=\"\/userfiles\/Capture.PNG\" style=\"width: 400px; height: 476px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eDuring testing, we let the car heat soak on the dyno until the radiator fans tripped on and off (which gives an inlet temperature of 38°C), then did a dyno pull from there. This gives a more consistent result and reflects real-world driving conditions more accurately. You can easily see the \u003cstrong\u003eForge Motorsport intercooler cools much quicker \u003c\/strong\u003eand delivers a greater drop in temperature compared to OEM.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe OEM intercooler produced inlet air temperatures on average of 72°C after 3 pulls, while the Forge Motorsport intercooler reduced the inlet air temperature to 35°C, resulting in a \u003cstrong\u003e37°C reduction\u003c\/strong\u003e over the stock item, and being far more superior than our first iteration that has since been discontinued.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe dyno graph shows the comparison between a highly tuned TTRS running our original revision Forge Motorsport intercooler, and after installing the 500+ BHP version.
