Forge is single pass with the inlet and outlets on the back:
IIRC the forge also has fins in the end tanks to direct the air through the whole I/C. (Although i may have dreamt that bit)

that forge/ jbs kit andy d is selling looks like a twin pass to me,i think thats what the fella,s trying to say as well? im running ihi and was running pace charge cooler i very nearly bought a forge fmic but then was advised other wise from a thread on here and advice from someone else that really dose know what hes on about! imo the forge cant flow bt converions and froms a half clossed tap affect.lets face it its not the chuncky,est intercooler goin is it and i think the laguna coolers is just as good! imo all its got goin for it is its looks! im running the jabba kit and its been goin better then ever before. my advice is let the turbo flow and get the intercooler for the job!
turboboy - would you just reccommmend buyin one of jabba's ones then or are you running a lagune one?? or on the other hand how much r the pace charge coolers? how far are you away from jabba?? as me and cupra_matt r down there tomoz.
maybe we should! why does it make you laugh? as we are only trying to see which intercooler will suit it best to get the power out of it that it shud be
Ask yourself this, do you really think that the Forge FMIC performs worse than a standard crappy SMIC?? If so then go and waste your money on a JS FMIC kit!
Hence comment.maybe the standard does flow better than the forge but doesnt cool as good! the question is whos running over 300 bhp or even near on a forge front mount? this guy is and hes 30bhp down on figures!imo the forge is only good for ko3/ko3s motors
well it came from forge themselves this mornin that it will be maxed out as it was only designed for remapped cupras not big turbo cupras! so i dont think would slag there own products off would they! if you like to read the thread carefully
Who did you speak to at Forge?
Cupra Matt is running very close to 300bhp with no cooling problems at all.
Ever thought you're just being fed bullshit to make you spunk £800+ quid for the sake of *cough* 20-30 hidden bhp? You've not even driven the car, let alone logged it, so who's to say the car/FMIC is maxed out apart from the people who have your car and also have a cash interest in the above?

Might I add that Bill's car made it's figures with only 15psi max boost! Boost is the cause of heat so if the Forge unit isn't capable of cooling an IHI car then why is it capable of cooling a K03/K03s/GTRS car running 15-20+ psi (and yes I do understand that the boost is held longer in the rev range on the IHI/BT).
id be willing to put some money on the table that the jabba cooler isnt half an inch thicker than the forge.
i notice nobody answered my question how do you test how much a core can flow?
forge will want to protect themselves mate, its not slagging their product off but if a tuner has blamed their product for missing horses, im sure forge dont want to argue with it when then they probably havent tested it themselves.

i honestly reckon if u buy the jabba kit, then dyno it, it will produce 350 odd
then take it some where else and it'll be a totally different figure

Ive noticed that people running the laguna dont seem to get as high torque levels as the forge one, 260/270lb/ft compared to the 280lb/ft of the forge one, but do you think the laguna one is capable of IHI?
Id love to keep mine on, like the look now but want to go bigger turbo at some point.
Havent got vagcom so dont know what im running but revo stg2 with k03s etc
