It is important to highlight that all the ASA devices are firewalls but also VPN devices at the same time, whatever you need/used it or you don?t. You?ll pay for those features. You can not split those features.

So in regards to the ASA5510 + IPS feature, you have 2 choices (modules):

1. SSM-AIP-10 (performance: 150 Mbps)

2. SSM-AIP-20 (performance: 300 Mbps)

There is already a bundle: "ASA5510-AIP10-K9" but for the AIP-20 is is necesary to buy it independently of the ASA.

One last thing, it is important to differentiate the regular VPN and the SSL-VPN. For the second, you must pay extra-$$$. Be aware the ASA5510 includes 2 free licenses.
