The VZ5 actually has the same intercooler setup that can be found in the Golf R\/Audi S3 so what we have here is a hybrid of two platforms. In our development of both the 2.5 TSI and 2.0 TSI we found the intercooling to be a compromised area and  were able to extract large gains with our Forge cooling products for both engines,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur development engineers have great experience of these previous models to take on the challenge of designing a vastly improved cooling package for the Cupra Formentor VZ5. The outlined brief was to develop an intercooler which utilises the maximum of the space available without modification to the vehicle and ensure a reduction in inlet air temperatures without any negative effects on turbo boost pressures and have scope for high levels of tune of 600 BHP and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"pure-g pure-g-gapped\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pure-u-1 pure-u-md-1-2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\/userfiles\/images\/sys\/products\/Intercooler_for_VW_Golf_MK8Audi_S3Cupra_Formentor_Leon_52056.png\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"pure-u-1 pure-u-md-1-2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\/userfiles\/images\/sys\/products\/Intercooler_for_VW_Golf_MK8Audi_S3Cupra_Formentor_Leon_93115jpeg.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral baffle configurations were designed, and flow simulated to ensure the maximum performance was obtained to keep the core working at its optimum, along with ensuring all its cooling capabilities had been upheld, and that the total volume of the core internal is utilised for optimum performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith an increase in inlet and outlet sizes, we then turned our attention to the design of our silicone hoses. With flow in mind, we have created a step within the hose so where the hose meets the hot and cold side of the inlet and outlet junctions the transition is seamless, this helps to lesson any disturbance to the airflow and prevent unwanted turbulence.
