Mounting on top of the steering column, the WRX/STI ColumnPod™ is designed to hold a 2” or 2 1/16” (52mm) gauge on your Impreza WRX/STI (2008-2014) or Forester (2009-2013)

The unique design offsets the gauge to the left for maximum visibility of the dash instrumentation.

Molded from ABS and matched in color and gloss, the ColumnPod™ looks like an OEM installation. It holds the gauge at an angle that minimizes distractions and helps keep your eyes on the road.

Our exclusive design hides all wires and tubes from view.

EXPLORE WITH CONFIDENCE

Upgrading your IE 5" velocity stack intake with our harsh climate filter kit will further keep your engine safe when traveling on dirt roads, sandy beaches, or anywhere with dusty contaminants in the air. 

KIT DETAILS

This complete filter kit uses a 3 step approach to combat harsh climates. The filter has been increased from a 6 pleat construction to 8 pleats to increase cotton density. The cotton pleats are then treated with a penetrating filter oil to further catch and trap particulates. As a final measure, a pre-filter sock adds a final layer of protection over the filter. Together, these 3 barriers offer superior filtration for your intake system over our standard performance air filter.

KIT CONTENTS:

• 1X IE oiled 8 pleat density performance 5" filter
• 1X IE pre-filter intake sock
• 1X Air filter worm clamp 

RECHARGING

As the air filter does its job of effectively catching more particulates, eventually it will have to be cleaned and maintained. We recommend washing your cotton filter in water with a little Dawn dish soap, rinsing thoroughly, and allowing it to completely air dry. To replace the oil, any off-the-shelf filter oil kit from your local auto parts supply chain can be used. Do not over-oil the filter, a little goes a long way. 

COMPATIBLE INTAKES

Our 5" Harsh Climate Oiled Air Filter & Sock Upgrade Kit is a direct replacement filter for all popular IE air intake kits with a 5" velocity stack.

VW MK7/MK7.5 & AUDI 8V 2018+ DSG TUNE Don't short shift your ECU tune and performance parts, get the most out of your modifications with the IE DSG Transmission tune for 2019+ GLI, GTI, Golf R, A3, S3 2.0T. Instantly gain increased power, higher RPM limit, faster shifts, optimized shift points, and a true performance tuned transmission. Acceleration times will greatly improve transforming your 2.0T into a fully rounded performance monster. DSG TUNE FEATURES Required for high torque IE ECU tunes Lightning fast gear shifts Kick down in manual mode eliminated Lag time reduced when starting off in first gear Drive shift mapping entirely reworked with an enthusiast in mind Flashed directly through OBD-II Port (No TCU removal required) Increased clutch pressure on tap for higher torque without slip Temperature protection remains for safety Gear hunting reduced Gearbox “Torque Limiters” removed REQUIRED FOR SELECT ECU TUNES Required for GLI, GTI, Golf R, A3, & S3 Stage 1 high torque and all Stage 2 tune files, your new transmission tune will no longer lug the engine in drive mode, or short shift the larger powerband. Clutch clamping forces are increased so the transmission can safely handle and deliver the increased power and torque. To get the most out of your tune investment, a lot of features have been added to make a fully rounded performance vehicle with more aggressive launches, faster shifting, higher RPM, and optimized shift points. DSG tune requires a matching ECU Tune, do not install on stock ECU tunes. ALL INCLUSIVE DSG FILE, NO STAGES That's right, your IE DSG tune is all-inclusive and does not offer expensive "Stage" upgrades. All features for any ECU stage are included in the tune and will never require unnecessary upgrade charges. IE POWERlink DIRECT PORT FLASH TOOL IE's POWERlink direct port flash tool is required to flash your ECU (engine control unit) or TCU (transmission control unit) and is available separately. The POWERlink tool is sold with all new IE ECU tunes and can also be used to flash your new DSG tune. If you already own an IE POWERlink unit, purchasing this file will add the credits to your cable within one working day. If you do not own a POWERlink cable, please chose to add one in the drop-down menu above. POWERlink FEATURES: FILE SWITCHING The POWERLink cable allows for map switching without making a trip back to an IE Software dealer. EASY OPERATION Simply plug your IE PowerLink cable into your vehicle’s OBD-II port and the USB port on your Windows-powered laptop to use the included IE Flash Wizard software. The flash wizard will then walk you through the installation steps. FLASH MULTIPLE CARS Have a friend with a compatible VW or Audi? Share the power with up to 5 different cars with a single cable. Just add enough credits to your cable for the desired tune and power-up your entire crew. RETURN TO STOCK ANYTIME With the IE PowerLink, you can return your vehicle back to original ECU or TCU programming at any time. EASY UPDATES IE will always provide free software updates as they become available and easily reflashed through your IE PowerLink cable. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Laptop or tablet with Wifi connection and USB port running Windows 7 or newer operating system required. Powered by 32 or 64-bit processor with 1.0GHz or greater and 4GB of Ram. Windows NT not supported. IE DSG TUNE TECHNICAL FEATURES HIGHER SHIFT POINTS Utilize the whole powerband of your turbocharged Gen 3 TSI with IS20 Turbo engine without the DSG interfering and shifting early. DRIVE MAPPING REWORKED The MQB 2.0 TSI DSG is designed to a fault to keep engine rpm extremely low in drive. We completely reworked this, creating a more enthusiast-friendly drive mapping which shifts a bit higher. This eliminates vibration and that constant feeling that you’re lugging the engine. We’ve reworked the downshifting aspect as well, making the transmission much quicker to deliver power when you need it. Thousands of miles of testing were accumulated and a variety of users were polled to come up with this improved drive mode. INCREASED CLUTCH PRESSURE Increasing the clutch pressure allows for the transmission to hold more torque without causing clutch damage or expedited wear. With the increased torque, the acceleration will be greatly increased and launches will far more aggressive. FLASHED THROUGH OBD-II PORT There’s no need to remove the TCU from the car and it can be flashed in your driveway or through an IE software dealer. Additionally, having an IE PowerLink cables means you can install updates are they become available as well as read TCU and ECU fault codes. TAKE-OFF LAG REDUCED The clutch engagement has been reworked to reduce that annoying “DSG Lag” when moving away from a stop. KICK DOWN REMOVED IN MANUAL MODE The kick down switch is disabled in manual shift mode, ensuring you stay in the gear you’ve selected, even during hard launches or over bumpy terrain FLAWLESS OPERATION WITH IE ECU TUNES The IE DSG Tune and ECU Tune were developed side by side on our in-house dynamometer. By running both tunes you will unlock the full potential of your 2.0 TSI Gen 3 engine and transmission.
