IE FDS PERFORMANCE INTERCOOLERS
The Integrated FDS intercooler system was built from the ground up to offer the ultimate in performance cooling for your vehicle. Our large 54% larger than the OEM intercooler core delivers cool air to the engine under all circumstances, increasing power and torque and simultaneously reducing heat soak. Our end tanks feature the FDS (flow distribution system), which is totally unique to our intercooler. By incorporating flow distribution channels into the inlet side end tank, air is evenly distributed from the top to bottom of the core, maximizing cooling efficiency. Other intercoolers on the market only allow natural airflow through the core, which is primarily on the bottom side near the inlet, making for poorly distributed cooling. In lab tests, temperatures across the IE FDS core were 65% more even than the nearest competitor. This proves more effective use of the core, resisting heat soak more so than any competitor and consistently delivering a cool charge. High quality American castings for the intercooler end tanks have perfect surface finish and absolutely none of the casting flaws commonly seen in import intercoolers which can destroy your engine. This attention to detail in the design process means that our intercooler is actually lighter than many import intercoolers, while simultaneously having a much larger core volume. These features provide an intercooler with perfect OE fitment and the utmost highest level of performance available today. Our engineers also went to great lengths to ensure quality and perfect fitment. The end tanks were carefully CAD designed and CFD flow optimized. All mounting bosses are fully machined to ensure a perfect fit. Even the inlet and outlet barb connections are completely machined, ensuring a leak free seal.

IE High Pressure Fuel Pump
The high pressure fuel pump is cam-driven providing over 1500psi to the direct injection fuel injectors in the FSI engine. More fuel is required to support the added horsepower from larger turbos, ECU tunes, and other power-increasing modifications. IE HPFP utilizes an increased bore size of the Nitride coated cylinder, coupled with our Nitride coated constant diameter piston resulting in 50% more displacement than the factory unit. This combination offers fueling for nearly 600hp at 7500rpm. This is a great reliable performance upgrade for those looking to do a big turbo setup, or even max out the factory turbo at higher boost levels.

IE valve spring & titanium retainer kit
IE spring and retainer kits feature spring rates which are optimized to match your vehicle specifications and provide proper valve control even under high revving applications. Increasing your engines power output often comes with modifications that require more RPMs to get the most out of it, upgrading software and hardware components without changing out the valve springs can leave you with a short power band or cause valve float and other significant damage. Manufactured out of the best spring wire in the world IE valve springs use a patented multi stage shot peening process that further reduces failure rates. Our titanium retainers are machined with an excellent surface finish and tight tolerance control for a long lifespan.

IE adjustable FES camber plates
Integrated Engineering camber plates ensure your tire's contact patch is flat on the pavement under hard cornering. This is essential to maximizing grip levels dialing in the required amount of negative camber (leaning the tire in) for your specific tire and suspension combination. To ensure optimum performance, care was also taken to achieve these gains without any detrimental effects to daily drivability. A heavy duty spherical bearing controls the top of the shock absorber, coupled with a heavy duty thrust needle bearing as well. This has been taken to another level by our Full Environmental Seal technology (FES), completely sealing this bearing from the elements, eliminating the spring popping and binding issues common with many camber plate designs.

IE Tuscan I-beam connecting rods (Designed for use with aftermarket piston sets, Mahle and JE designs available)
IE's Tuscan I-beam connecting rods are the best rods available for your engine. Each individual engine application has been custom-crafted and optimized by our engineers. IE's own I-Beam design as been utilized for incredible bending and torsional stiffness. Additionally, an extensive iterative process lead to the unique Egg shape of our rod beams, which lowers stresses as much as 20% compared to less evolved designs. This shape very evenly distributes the high compressive loading from a turbocharged engine onto the connecting rod beam. We then validated this success with years of field testing, powering numerous 4 cylinder VW / Audi engines with over 1000 bhp! In addition to being tough, IE Tuscan rods are also designed to minimize unnecessary weight on the connecting rod for an ultra balanced weight to strength ratio.
