I thought Forge make quality products. Well i purchased a new forge Turbo Blanket only to find the fabric is coming completely apart at the rivets. Im not happy about that🤨
Hello. Sorry to here this. If you can email this over to info@forgemotorsport.co.uk with your order number, we will of course replace this under our lifetime warranty.
@forgemotorsport I had to come back to say thanks for replacing the turbo blanket. A company that actually stands behind their products warranty. THANK YOU!
My professional opinion, as a mechanical engineer, is that "cold air" intake is trash. The stock one at least has ducting to the filter from the front of the car where it's drawing outside, actually cold, air. Drawing air from under the hood, heated by the engine and turbo and not ducted from the front of the car is counter productive. The turbo compression adds a ton more heat, which I guess is offset by the increased capacity of the larger intercooler. Power is roughly linearly proportional to the DENSITY of the combustion air, not boost pressure, density. Compression creates heat, reducing density...basic ideal gas law stuff.
Thank you for your comment. We have over 30 years top-flight motorsport engineering experience. We are technical partners to the Mini Challenge series, and have been for a number of years - alongside our work in BTCC, WEC, Drift Masters, and Time Attack, to name just a few of the series that entrust us to provide the most effective possible performance solutions. The IATs are exponentially lower than that of the stock system. There are numerous variables to take into consideration, and we act on the data derived from various rigorous testing procedures.

I’m going to look at 07 r56 today cars running and driving it all checked out to me. Motor sounded good and tranny shifted well thru all gears. He’s asking $800 because he doesn’t have title im looking to buy it as a project. It has 150k miles any ideas ?
The amount of "correction" needed from a Mini r56 owner, never ends.
Is that the same across all the R56 models? Or just the cooper S?
@@jamescharlton924Its the same to a degree, but definitely worse on the S models
Weren’t you all waiting to hear how the car sound?
Can I put stage 2 software on a 2011 mini one that is R56?

One could impregnate the unraveling with a bit of high temp RTV.

What intake is that????
What was the offset for those 17’s with the 215/40/17 tire
We're not too sure what the set up was but Lauren may be able to answer!

@forgemotorsport hi do you sell intercooler and all the modified hoses etc for R57 cooper D with N47 engine ?

Yeah, that hot air intake is... Prooobably something she'd want to address, gonna lose some power there for sure!
