2011-2014 VW Jetta TDI Turbo Diesel Performance Boost with AEM Short Ram Intake

AEM 21-763C air intake system

AEM replaces factory VW Jetta TDI components with a Dryflow reusable air filter, mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube, and an application specific air filter heat shield

The diesel engine’s dated reputation of being slow and dirty has hurt mainstream acceptance in many parts of the world, however Volkswagen has made it a goal to dispel these misconceptions. Volkswagen Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engines have helped sway non-believers over to the diesel side. The use of forced induction, usually with a turbocharger, has helped increase performance and acceleration while the introduction of direct injection has helped to improve diesel efficiency, lower emissions, and improve torque output. Simply because the main benefit of a Volkswagen TDI Diesel is excellent fuel economy doesn’t mean diesel performance should be overlooked.

In addition to quicker acceleration and a factory-like fit and finish, AEM short ram intake 21-763C will help save VW Jetta owners money with a reusable AEM Dryflow air filter

Advanced Engine Management (AEM®) has excelled in improving performance of turbocharged engines and doesn’t feel that small displacement diesel engines should be ignored. AEM Induction Systems offers a performance upgrade for 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0L TDI Diesel models with short ram air intake 21-763C. An AEM short ram intake system is able to improve an engine’s efficiency by reducing the amount of power being spent on drawing air into the engine. Typically, the factory air intake tubing, stock air filter box, and disposable air filter is a significant point of restriction in modern cars and trucks. The stock components are particularly restrictive in cars with turbocharged engines.

AEM 21-763C air intake system

The 2014 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0L TDI diesel makes just 140 horsepower but its 236 lb-ft of peak torque comes on at an extremely low 1,750 RPM

By replacing restrictive 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0L TDI Diesel factory components with AEM short ram intake system, number 21-763C, the VW diesel engine is able to breathe easier. Less power spent on drawing air into the engine helps improve performance by boosting horsepower and torque with quicker acceleration as an added benefit. An estimated additional 9 horsepower and 20 lb-ft of torque was observed when AEM short ram intake 21-763C was installed and dyno tested on a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0L TDI diesel. In addition to quicker acceleration and a factory-like fit and finish, AEM short ram intake 21-763C will help save money with a reusable lifetime non-oiled Dryflow® air filter.

Fresh off of a win at the 2015 RCV Ultra4 race at Badlands Off-Road Park in Attica, Indiana, Derek West and the Jimmy’s 4x4 race team had high hopes for the 2015 4 Wheel Parts Glen Helen Grand Prix. Derek West’s win at Badlands Off-Road Park helped him move from third into first place in the 2015 Ultra4 Nitto Tire National Championship race. The pressure was on as the West and the Jimmy’s racing team took to the dirt at Glen Helen Raceway near San Bernardino, California.

Practice started well for Derek West and the AEM® filters powered Nitto Tire/ NorthStar Battery car; however the front drive shaft flew out at a speed close to 100 mph on the back stretch. The damage included a crushed exhaust system which would have to be fixed. The team rushed to replace the drive shaft and fix the exhaust to get on the track for qualifying. With just a few minutes to spare the team had the car fixed and Derek was on the track and qualified in the fifth spot.

In the first heat race Derek West started 3rd in the AEM equipped number 20 Ultra4 car and was looking great until disaster struck once again. A sensor wire came loose from the engine, which then wrapped around the drive shaft and took the lower engine harness wiring with it. Crews towed the #20 car back into the pits to be repaired. Derek West’s DNF in the heat race forced him and the team to give it all they had in the last chance qualifier race (LCQ) to fight for a chance at making the main event.

West started 3rd in the LCQ and quickly made it to the front only to suffer more problems forcing him to make a quick pit stop. Once the issue was addressed Derek was back on track and pushed hard to catch up with the entire field. Derek fought his way back up to the front of the pack to finish 3rd which was just good enough to advance to the main event. Derek West and the #20 AEM Air Filter equipped Nitto Tire/ NorthStar Battery car would start from 39th, the second to last spot.

Through it all Derek West and the team persevered and secured 5th place; enough to increase their lead in the Nitto National Points Championship and move into 2nd in the western division

With the staggered start race format, the 4400 class race leader would start three and a half minutes ahead of Derek in the AEM sponsored Nitto Tire/ NorthStar Battery car. "I was just determined to catch as many of the racers in front of me as I could and still keep the car together so I could get a decent finish. During the last hour of the race, the track conditions were brutal,” said Derek.

The 4400 class main event race lasted for a little over 2.5 hours. Glen Helen Raceway track crews watered the track during the race, resulting in ever changing track conditions which kept drivers from knowing exactly which line was best. Through it all Derek and the team persevered and secured a 5th place finish. This fifth place finish was enough to not only hold onto their 1st place lead in the Nitto National Points Championship, but also increase their lead and move into 2nd in the western division.
