While the quality of the original side mount intercooler is excellent on a standard car, you could be pushing it beyond its design criteria with greater pressure and flow rates on a modified car. Forge has designed their front mount intercooler kit to give greater thermal reductions on those vehicles running a simple software upgrade or those with larger turbochargers. Everything that you will need for installation is included in the supplied kit.

In the graph of intake temperature logs below you will see that there is a significant improvement with the Forge intercooler (blue) over the OEM intercooler installation.
