The intake manifold distributes the air coming into the engine evenly to each of the cylinders, so that the right amount of air can mix with the right amount of fuel. By introducing a Koala Intake Manifold spacer into the system, it creates an additional volume of air, which lengthens the intake runners. When an engine has longer runners the end result is more torque at lower RPM.

Fits the following Cooper S models with the N14 and N18 engines:

2007-2013 R56 Cooper S Hatchback
2008-2014 R55 Cooper S Clubman
2009-2014 R57 Cooper S Convertible
2011-2014 R60 Cooper S Countryman
2012-2014 R58 Cooper S Coupe
2012-2014 R59 Cooper S Roadster

Finally, Bolt-on Power for the R56

The Koala installs in 15 minutes, and can be done by almost anyone. After that you'll see strong power gains (10+ HP) and solid movement of the torque band.

The Koala has everything included

The Koala comes with everything you need to install. Including the spacer, O-Rings, and replacement screws. We've also even designed and included a machined intake hose spacer. The Koala moves your intake manifold and also your intake because the intake attaches to the manifold. The spacer makes sure you don't add any stress to that hose.
