To assist with the cold air feed to the scuttle on the Abarth 500/595/695 we developed an inlet duct which after testing in the crucible of motorsport, was found to keep a more consistent and lower IAT. With our Abarth induction kit (FMINDF500) also utilising the direct cold air feed to the scuttle panel, we knew that these race proven gains could provide a valuable addition to our ever-popular FMINDF500 Abarth 500/595/695 induction kit.
Race Proven, Daily Driven isn’t just the Forge Motorsport mantra, but it’s also the way we look to develop our products. Our technical partnership with Mini Challenge has allowed us to test our Abarth 500/595/695 components within a highly competitive motorsport series and helps us to highlight areas to develop on other products. The Mini Challenge JCW class use a homologated Forge Motorsport intake, which utilises the cold air feed from the scuttle panel to maximise the density charge of air entering the turbo intake.
FMINLD3 was developed specifically for RHD applications. Whilst it is compatible with the LHD scuttle panel, there is minimal functional benefit when fitted to LHD vehicles, due to a blank located directly beneath the designated mounting area. We are currently exploring the possibility of a template for quick and easy modification to the LHD scuttle, which would allow airflow to be channeled towards the induction inlet more effectively. If proven feasible, this template will be made available retrospectively to LHD owners.
After valuable iterations of design, we settled for a solution that perfectly follows the contours of the scuttle panel to ensure a snug fit to capture as much cold air as possible. 3D-scanning, SolidWorks 3D CAD, and 3D printing gave us the ability to test the differences between width, height and fitment of the inlet duct to finish up with the perfect design to suit FMINDF500. By capturing the washer jet inside the inlet duct it allows for a much wider design to maximise airflow, and helps with installation.
We have spared no expense as per usual with the manufacture of this design, by having billet injection mould tooling created to produce a part with an OEM+ aesthetic. By testing samples against the OEM scuttle panel, we have been able to match the mottled plastic finish so well that you would mistake it for being a factory component! The finishing touch was the gloss finish to the Forge Motorsport logo, making our world-renowned name stand out just enough to really compliment your tastefully modified Abarth.

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.
