IE VAG 1.8T intake manifold, transverse engines

ENHANCE YOUR MANIFOLD FOR OPTIMAL AIRFLOW. Achieve unparalleled power and torque throughout the entire rpm range with the sole motorsport-engineered intake manifold designed specifically for your transverse 1.8T 20V engine.

ADVANTAGES OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD The stock intake manifold is crafted to direct air into the engine adequately to meet factory horsepower levels, leaving considerable room for improvement in performance builds utilizing larger-than-stock turbochargers. IE’s 1.8T 20V intake manifold stands out as a genuine performance design, incorporating key motorsport features. Precise tuning of intake manifold runner lengths, diameters, and bellmouths collaborates to force more air into the cylinders. Through computer software optimization, the plenum and runners are fine-tuned for maximum flow. This specialized design results in a leading-edge intake manifold capable of delivering gains of over 90HP!

• Mid and high rpm gains in power through the rpm range
• Solid aluminium structure
• Integrated micro manifold for easy connection

POWER BOOST Carefully engineered and dyno-tested, this intake manifold yields optimal power results under any conditions. Thanks to the unique plenum, velocity stack, and runner design, setups with GT28 or larger turbos will experience gains across the mid-high RPM range with minimal sacrifice in low-end power.

FLEXIBLE THROTTLE BODY PLACEMENT IE intake manifold’s modular plenum design allows the throttle body to be positioned on either side of the engine bay. The entire plenum can be disconnected from the runners and flipped in either direction, facilitating easy installation with minor adjustments for virtually any turbo setup.

VELOCITY STACK BELLMOUTH RUNNERS Utilizing specialized engineering software, we researched and developed an optimized runner and velocity stack design. Aggressively-sized resonance-tuned manifold runners and flow-tested velocity stacks deliver more air to the cylinder than any other manifold on the market.

MINIMIZED TURBOCHARGER LAG The IE manifold strikes a perfect balance between power gains and minimizing spool time and low-end power loss. Depending on the engine and turbo setup, the manifold typically results in minimal added turbo lag compared to other manifolds with similar-sized runners and plenum.

CRAFTED, CAST, AND MACHINED IN USA.

IE manifolds are cast from a unique self-aging, self-hardening alloy with stringent requirements for chemical composition. State-of-the-art Japanese machining centers handle all major surfaces of the parts in one setup, ensuring a flawless fit, finish, and a lifetime of service.

IE MICRO VACUUM MANIFOLD This manifold includes the IE micro vacuum manifold at no additional cost. This small anodized fitting provides all the necessary vacuum sources without cluttered lines. Its quick and easy installation offers a sleek and clean solution for plumbing your blow-off/diverter valve, boost gauge, fuel pressure regulator, brake booster, or any other component requiring a vacuum source.
