Best Answer

Variable geometry or two-stage intake manifolds are used to optimize the torque at all engine speeds by directing the intake air to different length runners. A manifold tuning valve (MTV) is the control mechanism that accomplishes this by directing air at low speed through long runners and air at high speed through short runners. The MTV actuation is through an electric motor / rotary solenoid controlled by the engine controller through a relay. Hope this helps! Jay

What does a intake manifold do?

An intake manifold directs air (air/fuel mixture on carburated engines) to the cylinder head. Depending on the runner length/diameter it can boost torque in a certain rpm range known as "manifold tuning". For example short runners works better for high rpm engines versues a long runner manifold, which is better for low/mid range power.
