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.

Warranty
10 Year Warranty Information
The majority of Forge Motorsport products come with a limited 10 Year Warranty (brakes pads excluded). 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.
For further information, please call our customer service team on +49(0)3222/1097-308 or email info@forgemotorsport.eu.
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 you cooler and thoroughly rinsed away. We recommend that you should inspect your product on a regular basis 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 and added to the coolant system. Be sure you never mix coolant 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.

Expert Answers
Hi, would the filter require replacing on a regular basis, if so, is it available for order from yourselves?
the filter can be cleaned using the cleaning kit we offer seen in the link here: https://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/Foam_Filter_Cleaner_75ml--product--2296.html
we do also sell replacement filters should you need one in the future
Hi, do you sell the box separately please?
No sorry only as part of our complete kit
Can you confirm that the filter supplied with this kit is a dry filter(not oiled) ant that the naf sensor is still able to be connected?
The foam filter is oiled, oiled to a safe specification so as not result in any oil vapour condensation on the MAF sensor which remains installed - the fitting instructions are available to view on the product page.
