Forge Motorsport Carbon Fibre Induction Kit - 2.0 TSI EA888
During the testing of the final prototype, we found that the Forge induction kit with stock turbo inlet produced gains on average of 5.5BHP. However, when paired with our Turbo Inlet Adaptor FMTIA5/9 this is where the stock EA888 engine saw impressive gains, increasing power up to 16BHP at 6500RPM with a significate average power increase from 4500RPM to the 6700RPM Rev limit of 10BHP, while the drivability and the punch from extra torque increases can be felt on the road as between 4000RPM to the rev limit an average gain of 20NM is achieved. It’s worth remembering that this is with a stock ECU and no tune, so we would expect to see mapped cars returning even greater yields of power.
This induction kit runs the full width of the slam panel, incorporating an elegant lip that neatly slides under the slam panel to ensure that all the cold air from the front of the vehicle flows through into the inlet tract with no detriment from the engine's heat. During testing, we found this to make a significant increase to airflow and a reduction in inlet air temperatures (IATs).
The temperature and volume of air supplied to your vehicle's engine that is compressed by the turbocharger has a better effect on performance when cool as this is to provide the engine with more oxygen (denser air), thus improving the combustion in each cylinder. In addition, by regulating and reducing the air temperature, it also increases the reliability of the engine by keeping the AFRs (Air Fuel Ratios) in each cylinder at a safe level; which in turn, can increase an engine's power due to the air being cooler. A bigger bang is then created within the cylinder (providing the correct amount of fuel is added) - this equates to an increase in BHP and torque.
It’s worth noting that this induction kit offers a massive amount of air to the EA888 engine, which is a must for anyone looking to push the performance of their car when tuning to stage 1, stage 2, and beyond. Not only do you get the bhp performance benefits, but INDK40 also offers a greater sound from the engine; particularly when on boost, and our product testers have reported a more responsive throttle too.
FMINDK40 is part of our acclaimed Hi-Flow range and will ensure that your vehicle is getting critical cold air. Not only is the Forge part a better option for performance, but the carbon fiber really helps to give the engine bay some character. The high-quality carbon fiber is prepreg 2x2 twill formed in an autoclave from billet tooling and finished with an anti-UV gloss gel coat. The Forge Motorsport lifetime warranty on all hardware products shows the trust we have in the quality of our products while they are being enjoyed on your pride and joy.
The kit comes complete with everything you need for installation, which can be carried out in around 1 hour, including a set of full-color instructions. For such an easy-to-fit product it truly does create some remarkable gains.
