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.
The FDS advantage
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 performance, high quality cast end tanks
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.
Perfect fitment
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 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 H-beam connecting rods
IE has remained the leading VW/Audi connecting rod manufacture with a history of high reliability on demanding power and strength requirements. This is accomplished through careful industry leading design practices, manufacturing, and strict quality control processes. For years our H beam rods have been the workhorse of our lineup providing excellent performance right out of the box. With very high reliability even in extreme applications our H beam design has remained the top choice in builds up to 700+ BHP, even found in four-cylinder cars into the 800+ BHP range. Extra attention has been paid to even the smallest details such as the bearing tangs, wrist pin fit, and big end side clearance. Each and every set is finish machined and honed in-house for perfectly round and on size big-end bores, resulting in the industry's lowest failure rates.

IE performance valve guides
Integrated Engineering valve Guides are the performance option for replacing factory guides for new valves. Our valve guides are made from a specialized alloy on our in house CNC lathe with ultra high concentricity for exact valve placement and precise dimensions. Using a proprietary bronze alloy results in faster heat dissipation where thermal conductivity is increased by 10% and extends valve life, guide life, and cylinder head component life. For added performance, these valve guides have been designed with an aerodynamic tip designed to cut down on airflow restrictions in the valve port.
