FMINDK48 is the Forge Motorsport intake solution for VW T5/T5.1/T6 and T6.1. Yes, this beautifully crafted induction kit fits most Transporters from 2003-2024!
This intake will not fit the T6-BI-TURBO with the MAF sensor of 90mm.
It has been designed and engineered to directly replace the stock airbox lid and offers a high-quality replacement, with its open top design which not only looks aesthetically pleasing but is designed to increase the airflow and performance of your vehicle. By neatly clipping into the airbox, this Forge Motorsport induction kit design ensures that it is not a 'hot air filter', allowing your Transporter to breathe better therefore improving performance.
During the development phase we found that the opening on the top and slots on the side of the intake helped mapped vehicles, while not causing detriment to standard tune vehicles.
As with all of our testing we use independent tuners; in this instance we used Avon Tuning in Bristol. From the results we proved some great additional performance gains, as you can see from the dyno graphs below. Peak power with a tuning box installed gave peak gains of 12.5 BHP with gains of also 20NM of Torque, most impressively though are the mid range power improvements. Typically this is where the driver will really feel a great improvement in acceleration, as well as far supplier towing power. This can be ideal for heavier transporters typically with camper conversions.
The first dyno pictured show the improvements on a 100% stock ECU while the second dyno shows the increases with a tuning box installed. The third dyno graph we have highlights where the maximum gains are in the rev range. Dyno 3 shows a huge 23 BHP increase @3700 rpm with a gain of 44nm @3600RPM!
Our intakes are designed to the highest quality with UK manufactured sheet metal and a high quality Pipercross air filter to significantly increase surface area allowing a greater airflow. FMINDK48 was designed to increase throttle response, improve performance, and make a far better sound, all of which improve the driving experience.
The Forge Motorsport lifetime warranty on all hardware products shows the trust we have in the quality of our products while they are being enjoyed on your pride and joy. The kit comes complete with everything you need for installation, which can be carried out in around 30 minutes, including a set of full colour instructions.
*Please note - the filter is excluded from the Forge lifetime warranty*

Warranty
Warranty Information
The majority of Forge Motorsport products come with a limited lifetime warranty. All warranty claims must be accompanied by the original proof of purchase to enable us to help you — failure to supply this proof will result in your claim or enquiry being denied. Please note that some products are excluded from the Forge lifetime warranty and instead carry their own specific warranty terms — for example, air filters, electrical components, coil packs, carbon fibre products, and suspension kits. This page is a summary only; a full and current list of exclusions, along with their specific warranty terms, can be found on our Terms & Conditions page.
For further information, please call our customer service team on +1 865 951 7456 or email sales@forgemotorsport.com
Do not use aggressive (acidic) car cleaning products, particularly traffic film remover solutions or shampoos, to clean your intercooler, radiator, or oil cooler. The use of these products can damage Forge Motorsport cooling systems and invalidate your warranty. These are often found at car washes. A light, warm, soapy solution (free of harsh acidic cleaning compounds) should be used to clean your cooler, and thoroughly rinsed away afterwards. We recommend that you inspect your product regularly for bent and/or crushed fins — any bent fins should be carefully straightened to allow ambient air to pass through the core face. At the time of installing your Forge radiator, an approved coolant must be used. Be sure you never mix coolant types, and always use distilled water.
This warranty does not apply to any defect in the goods arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accident, negligence by you or any third party, use otherwise than as recommended by the supplier, failure to follow the supplier's instructions, or any alteration or repair carried out without the supplier's approval.
This does not affect your statutory rights.
Ignition Coil Packs
Forge ignition coil packs carry a 12 month warranty against manufacturing defects (not our Lifetime Warranty), from date of purchase. As coil packs are often swapped as a full set on suspicion rather than a confirmed fault, claims must identify the specific faulty unit(s) with supporting evidence (e.g. a diagnostic misfire code) and proof of purchase. Full sets cannot be claimed without this. See full terms and conditions for details.
Electrical Components
Electrical components supplied with Forge Motorsport kits — including solenoids, wiring harnesses and looms — are covered by a 12 month warranty against manufacturing defects, rather than our standard Lifetime Warranty. This covers faulty materials or workmanship only, and does not cover damage from incorrect installation, water ingress, wear, incorrect wiring, or faults originating from your vehicle's own electrical system or other aftermarket electrical accessories. Full terms, including how to make a claim, are available in our Terms & Conditions.
Heat Management Products (Turbo Blankets and Gold Reflective Heat Barrier)
Turbo blankets and our gold reflective heat barrier are covered by a 6 month warranty against manufacturing defects (not our Lifetime Warranty), from date of purchase. Turbo blankets cure and lose flexibility over their first few heat cycles as a normal part of fitting. Once heat-cycled they should not be removed. The gold reflective heat barrier is designed for components such as engine covers, intake pipes and induction trays, not for direct contact with exhausts or turbine housings. See Terms & Conditions for details.
