PowerGasket Plus
NewSouth Performance has designed an insulating gasket that radically reduces the heat transfer from the cylinder head to the intake manifold.
PowerGasket Plus gives you up to 5% more power from your engine by reducing the temperature of the incoming air to your engine. This gives you cooler, denser air for more horsepower and performance from your engine.
The PowerGasket Plus is made from a purpose-built high performance composite material. It conducts on average less than 1/500th of the heat of the steel gasket that it replaces. Your intake manifold will stay 30-50° F cooler and your incoming air will stay 20-30° F cooler.
Dyno Tested, Race Proven!!

1.8T Dyno Results

Cooler air, denser air, means more oxygen. Your engine sensors register these changes and will inject more fuel to give you more power. Cooler air also reduces detonation, so you can turn up the boost or advance your engine timing for even more performance gains.
PowerGasket Plus has been designed for affordability, easy installation and minimal or no disruption to your manifold attachment and engine accessories.
You just simply swap your old intake manifold gasket for a PowerGasket. No buying longer bolts or installing multiple gaskets.
In just an hour or two, you will be enjoying a more powerful, better performing ride.

42 Draft Designs Mk5 Boost Gauge Tap $40
The 2.0T FSI & TSI motors are certainly cool, but where are the vacuum lines? There's one, but tapping this stubby little thing results in a mess. Tap your intake manifold the right way using our Mk5 Boost Gauge Tap! Installation is simple - remove the PCV tube, slide this fitting into the intake manifold, pop the PCV fitting back on, rotate to lock, and read your boost. No hose clamps or modifications needed.
Our boost gauge tap is CNC machined from 6061 aluminum. The design mimics the factory intake manifold and PCV tube, squeezing a spacer between the two. In this spacer, a brass barb allows for a universal boost gauge connection. A carefully designed tab allows the fitting to lock into the stock intake manifold. Precision machining on the female side allows the PCV tube to lock in and seal without leaking. On the male side, two Viton o-rings seal the fitting inside the intake manifold.
Our boost gauge tap fits both FSI and TSI motors. Installation is quick and reversible. No tools are required and our fitting leaves no marks on the intake manifold or PCV tube. Our boost gauge barb fits .170" ID tubing.
