When you ditch your VW's stock intake heat riser system — which you'll need to do when installing most dual carburetor setups — these EMPI Heat Riser Block-Off Plates are a must-have. They cover and seal the heat riser flanges on the exhaust manifold where the heat pre-heat tubes would normally attach, preventing exhaust gases from leaking and keeping your engine bay tidy.

The kit includes two steel block-off plates and two gaskets. They're paintable raw steel for a clean, finished look. Essential when running dual IDF, IDA, DRLA, or HPMX carburetors that eliminate the factory heat riser system.
