Bring your 2.5L 5 cylinder VW engine to life with the Integrated Engineering cast intake manifold. The factory 2.5L 5 cylinder intake manifold is designed to channel air into the engine sufficiently well to meet the original horsepower targets, while being cost effective and easy to install. This compromise means that there is room for significant improvement. The IE performance manifold has been designed from the bottom up to put performance first. IE engineers exploit careful tuning of the intake manifold runner lengths and diameters to create a resonance effect which rams more air into the cylinders. The plenum and runner designs have been carefully optimized with computer software for maximum flow, allowing your engine to breathe easier and perform at its best.

 

POWER INCREASE

We have carefully engineered and tested this intake manifold in house to get the best results possible in any condition. Due to the unique plenum and runner design, your 2.5L 5 cylinder engine will be allowed to breathe the way that it naturally wants to, this piece will allow for great gains over the factory intake manifold, extending the powerband further into the RPM range. We have carefully engineered and tested this intake manifold in house to get the best results possible in any condition. During testing performed on our in house engine dyno, the IE 2.5L intake manifold produced excellent power gains through the mid-high range and very little low end power sacrifice with maximum gains of  48.2BHP over the factory manifold.  

 

Note

-This manifold has been designed to provide large power gains for naturally aspirated, as well as turbo applications.

 

Features:

-Optimized bellmouth inlets create maximum power throughout the RPM range

-Thick wall cast construction for durability in N/A and turbo applications

-100% engineered, tested, and cast in U.S.A.

 

Included with manifold:

-Head flange hardware

-Head flange seals

-Throttle body screws

-Throttle body seal

-Fuel rail screws

 

FAQ

 

Will this manifold fit my car?

-This manifold fits VW 2.5L engines from 2005-2012 with Electric Power Steering ONLY. The later style engines (2012+) use a hydraulic power steering pump, which sits right below the factory intake manifold. If your car is equipped with a hydraulic power steering pump, this manifold will NOT fit. We recommend installing these on manual transmission cars only, as the gains are in the higher RPM range, which cannot be reached on automatic ECUs (transmission controller has internal rev limiter).

 

Can I install this manifold on an automatic transmission car?

-The intake manifold will physically fit on automatic cars, but the power gains will not be  seen as they would with manual transmission cars. The power gains are seen in the high RPM range, which is not reachable on automatic cars, as they have rev limiters in the transmission controllers that cannot be removed.

 

Will my factory fuel rail work?

-Although we recommend using our billet fuel rail which compliments the beautiful cast manifold nicely, your factory fuel rail will also bolt up to our intake manifold using the included hardware.

 

What throttle body can I use with the IE cast intake manifold?

-Our intake manifold is designed for use with the factory throttle body, which is a direct fit. We include the necessary hardware and seal for the throttle body with each intake manifold.

 

What kind of gains can I expect from the IE intake manifold on my stock 2.5L engine?

-Along with our software and intake kit, we have shown gains of 48.2bhp over the stock power levels on manual transmission cars revving to 7200rpm.

 

Can I use this manifold with my turbo setup, or will it only work for naturally aspirated applications?

-Yes! We have designed our manifold to offer great gains on any setup, whether naturally aspirated or turbo.

 

Will this manifold be a direct replacement for my factory intake manifold?

-Yes! With our plenum being larger than the factory plenum, the throttle body location is slightly different. It will require use of our IEIMVB2 intake kit, making the manifold install simple.

 

I already have an aftermarket intake on my car, can I use it with this intake manifold?

-To accomodate our larger plenum, the throttle body was slightly moved, so most standard intake kits will not be a direct fit without modification. We offer an intake setup specifically for use with our manifold, part # IEIMVB2 (sold separately).
