Details :
The cold air intake kitFORGE MOTORSPORTDelivers cool, cool air from outside the engine bay directly to your engine via a high-flow, free-flowing intake tube.
The air intake systemFORGE MOTORSPORTReplaces the stock intake with a complete, high-output, high-flow intake system.
Developed for use in our everyday cars, the systemFORGE MOTORSPORTDelivers truly impressive airflow gains, up to 20% higher in peak horsepower than the stock intake system.
Don't get me wrong, you'll hear the rich induction noise of this racing intake system as soon as you accelerate hard for the first time.
Through our race and track developments over the past decade, we have learned how to improve performance and reliability for enthusiastic drivers.
Of course, these parts are developed and proven under the most demanding conditions, therefore you are assured of the highest quality of parts that fit and will thus enhance your enjoyment of your vehicle.
The kit is available in cotton or foam you can select the filter material in the menu above
It is sold without the intake hose that you can get in the associated products at the bottom of this page

With the release of the Volkswagen Golf 8 R, the development team at Forge Motorsport knew there would be a great opportunity to help the EA888 Gen4 engine breathe easier and gain more power. We were lucky enough to bring one of the first Golf 8 Rs into the UK and took the opportunity to put months of development and testing into this new induction kit. Our Golf 8 Golf R has endured countless hours of track work and climbs, alongside the usual spirited daily drive. This kit was designed from the ground up, using 3D scanning, FEA simulation data in SolidWorks CAD, 3D printed development, and numerous dyno sessions to truly unleash the power.
Simulation testing played an important role in the design process to help maximize airflow. This included a teardrop-shaped cavity around the hood release mechanism to ensure airflow remained fast and laminar on its way to the filter element. The 3D printed prototypes helped compare our simulation tests to real driving conditions. This is a valuable comparison that is used in the higher levels of motorsport, now brought to your vehicle.
In final testing of the prototypes, we found that the Forge induction kit with stock turbo inlet produced average gains of 5.5hp. However, when paired with our Turbo Inlet Adapter, this is where the stock EA888 engine registered some impressive gains, boosting power up to 16hp at 6500rpm with a significant average power increase from 4500rpm to the 6700RPM Rev limit of 10hp, while the handling and punch of the additional torque increases can be felt on the road as between 4000 rpm and the rev limit, an average gain of 20nm is achieved. It's worth remembering that this is a stock ECU and without tuning, so we expect to see mapped cars producing even higher outputs.
This induction kit spans the full width of the flat panel, incorporating a sleek lip that slides neatly under the panel to ensure that all cold air from the front of the vehicle passes through the intake duct without impairing the engines heat. During testing, we found that this significantly increased airflow and reduced intake 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 cold because it supplies the engine with more oxygen (denser air), thereby improving combustion in each cylinder. Additionally, by regulating and reducing air temperature, it also increases engine reliability by keeping the AFRs (Air Fuel Ratios) in each cylinder at a safe level; which, in turn, can increase the power of an engine due to air cooling. A bigger stroke is then created in the cylinder (provided the right amount of fuel is added) - this equates to an increase in horsepower and torque.
It should be noted that this intake kit provides a huge amount of air to the EA888 engine, which is essential for anyone looking to improve their car's performance when tuning Stage 1, Stage 2 and beyond. Not only do you get the cv performance benefits, FMINDK40 also delivers better engine sound; especially when boosting, and our product testers also reported a more responsive throttle.
Careful consideration of other platforms sharing the same engine configurations had also been at the forefront of our development engineers' concerns. This required researching different vehicles to ensure a perfect fit for many VAG Group performance vehicles. Just check out our compatibility list to realize just how much research and development has gone into this extraordinary performance induction kit.
FMINDK40 is part of our acclaimed Hi Flow range and will ensure your vehicle receives critical cold air. Not only is the Forge part a better option for performance, but the carbon fiber really helps give character to the engine bay. The high quality carbon fiber is a 2x2 prepreg twill formed in an autoclave from billet tooling and finished with a high gloss UV gel coat. The Forge Motorsport Lifetime Warranty on all hardware products shows the confidence we have in the quality of our products while they are enjoyed on your pride and joy.
The kit comes complete with everything you need for installation, which can be done in around 1 hour, including a set of full color instructions. For such an easy-to-install product, it really creates remarkable gains.
