{"product_id":"vacuum-pump-block-off-plate","title":"Vacuum Pump Block-Off Plate","description":"The Integrated Engineering IEBAVB4 is a direct-fit vacuum pump block-off plate engineered to remove the failure-prone factory vacuum pump found on 2.5L 5-cylinder engines in MK5 and MK6 Volkswagen models. This solution is particularly beneficial for 2.5L engine swaps or for owners looking to eliminate a common source of oil leaks and power loss. The plate facilitates a traditional brake booster to manifold setup, which is essential for vehicles that do not require the factory vacuum pump.\n\nConstructed from 6061 aluminum and CNC machined in-house, this block-off plate ensures durability and precise fitment. It features an integrated O-ring seal for guaranteed leak-free operation and includes all necessary stainless steel mounting hardware for a complete installation. The oil galley is also blocked off to maintain proper oil pressure within the engine.\n\nWhile this block-off plate offers a straightforward solution for removing the vacuum pump, it's important to note the implications for brake assist. If installing on a vehicle with a factory vacuum pump, deleting it will remove all power brake assist unless custom work is done to plumb the brake booster to the intake manifold. This is a critical safety consideration, especially for street-driven vehicles.\n\nThis vacuum pump block-off plate is compatible with a range of VW models equipped with the 2.5L 5-cylinder engine, including the Golf (MK6: 2010-2014), Rabbit (MK5: 2006-2009), Jetta \u0026amp; Jetta GLI (MK5: 2006-2010, MK6: 2010-2014), Jetta SportWagen (MK6: 2011-2014), and Beetle (1998-2011, 2011-2015).","brand":"Integrated Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52688752050488,"sku":"IEBAVB4","price":75.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/663694417.webp?v=1784894770","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/vacuum-pump-block-off-plate","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
