2015 VW GTI Forge Twintercooler Install MK7
I installed a Forge Twintercooler on my 2015 GTI PP. The kit was actually really good and has provided a lot of cooling. I filmed the install and put the original video up but then went back and made some install changes and then did some edits to the original video. This is the new edited video. One of the reasons I made the edits was because I had to fight with the driver side twintercooler hose. I originally bent the recirc pump bracket to get the hose to fit, but after driving for a day and checking it again, the hose was able to bend under the pump bracket after I straightened the bracket back out. I think the hose was just warped from shipping and once it heated up it was a perfect fit. The only thing I didn't like was that the new mounting point for the MFD air temperature sensor is not a good location. Its hot out here in the summers usually staying around the 90's to low 100's. With the temp sensor in the proposed twintercooler spot, on a day that was in the mid 90's, the MFD was wildly changing from the high 90's all the way to 118F. I ended up making a bracket to move the sensor out to the side of the intercooler and more into the fresh airstream coming in. Now the MFD temps are stable. Also, the kit has you pull the air diverters that force the air coming in from the front of the car into the radiator and stock intercooler. I went back and trimmed these pieces and re-installed them. All of these changes are in this edited video. Otherwise, the intercooler itself has a very good strong build with nice heavy welds. It seems to be mounted very strong with the hardware provided with the kit. I have logged the IATs and when it was in the low 80's outside the IATs would pull down to ~100F on acceleration with air being forced across the intercooler. This intercooler has really helped with heat soak but when I have the AC on MAX and its hot out, I still can tell I have varying amounts of timing being pulled. I am really happy with this upgrade but think I will add an upgraded stock location intercooler as well.
