FORGE intercooler for Cupra Formentor VZ5

The Forge Motorsport FMINT36 is a premium intercooler solution engineered specifically for the Cupra Formentor VZ5. While the VZ5 shares the potent 2.5 TSI engine of the Audi RS3, it features a notably inferior cooling system akin to the Golf R and Audi S3—making it a hybrid platform with performance-limiting compromises. The FMINT36 addresses these shortcomings with a precision-engineered intercooler that dramatically improves airflow and thermal efficiency without requiring any vehicle modification.

Developed using advanced CFD simulations, 3D prototyping, and rigorous dyno testing, the FMINT36 features high-flow, baffled cast end tanks and a bar-and-plate core design with an 83% increase in volume and 10% more frontal surface area compared to OEM. Combined with enlarged 76 mm inlet/outlet ports (up from 63 mm), the system delivers a substantial 58% reduction in inlet air temperatures, even under demanding conditions.

The included 5-ply fluorosilicone-lined silicone hoses provide a seamless transition between intercooler and engine, ensuring minimal turbulence and maximum boost efficiency. Mikalor stainless steel clamps secure the setup, and the entire assembly is finished in a stealthy black anti-corrosion coating for durability and a discreet OEM+ appearance.

Whether for fast road use or high-powered tuning beyond 600 PS, the FMINT36 is the ultimate cooling upgrade for the Cupra Formentor VZ5—handcrafted in the United Kingdom and backed by Forge Motorsport’s lifetime warranty.
