If you're looking to take your ride to the next level, the factory intake manifold just isn't going to cut it. Sure, it gets the job done for stock horsepower, but if you’re planning on cranking up the power with a bigger turbo, you’ll need something that really delivers. That’s where the IE 1.8T 20V intake manifold comes into play. This isn’t just some off-the-shelf part; it’s a performance piece designed for serious enthusiasts and motorsport applications.

What makes this manifold stand out? For starters, the runner lengths, diameters, and bellmouths are all meticulously optimized to shove more air into your engine. We’re talking about a design that’s been fine-tuned with cutting-edge computer software to maximize airflow. The result? You can expect gains of over 90 horsepower! That’s not just a number; it’s a game-changer for anyone looking to push their 1.8T to its limits.

Now, let’s break down some of the features that make this manifold a must-have:

• Massive power and torque gains that you can actually feel.
• Each runner has a flow-tuned velocity stack, which means better air delivery.
• True motorsport design for both the runners and the plenum—this thing is built for performance.
• Modular design allows for flexibility in throttle body placement, making it easier to customize.
• Includes a vacuum manifold for a straightforward install—no headaches here.
• Gasket sealed, so you won’t need any messy liquid gasket or RTV.

Just a heads up: the pictures you see are for marketing purposes, and the actual product might look a bit different. Depending on your setup, you might need to make some modifications in your engine bay. If you’re tight on space, be prepared to relocate the windshield washer fluid reservoir and maybe whip up some custom intercooler piping.

So, if you want to transform your Audi or VW into a powerhouse, this intake manifold is definitely worth considering. It’s built for those who aren’t afraid to push the envelope.
