For engines over 1915cc, big-bore strokers, or any build targeting peak top-end power and RPM, the IDA is the racing standard. Below that displacement, an HPMX 40\/44 or IDF kit will make better street power and drive smoother.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVW Type 1 dual-port engines, 1915cc and larger recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeetle, Karmann Ghia, Dune Buggy, Sand Rail, Baja Bug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill not clear stock fan shroud without modification — 36HP-style shroud recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify hood\/decklid clearance before ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Box Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate carton: 24 × 18 × 14 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate weight: 32 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-value kit ships fully insured with signature required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips UPS\/FedEx Ground from California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOversized box — additional handling fees may apply outside the contiguous US\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinal freight rates calculated at checkout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Air cleaners not included (sold separately).
