An important function of your engine's operation is the induction of air. Colder air is more dense and allows for more fuel and more power. Volant air intake systems feature a high-velocity venturi filter adapter which provides a smooth transition through the MAF sensor into the intake tube for a much needed airflow improvement over the factory rubber tubing and resonator box. Volant's Cold Air box is larger than the factory unit and incorporates a larger opening to collect a higher volume of colder ambient air.

Throughout their extensive research and development and knowledge of the European vehicle line, APR has designed the ultimate upgrade for any vehicle. Dyno-proven horsepower increases and complete customization make APR ECU upgrades the absolute best value in performance. Even if your vehicle is stock, APR will extract hidden power with fuel and virtually all engine remapping. Designed to work without requiring other changes to the vehicle’s hardware, the ECU upgrade alone, measured higher peak figures of 367-388 ft-lbs of torque and 306-314 horsepower depending on fuel grade.

When the 2.0T engine was introduced, the rubber diaphragm in the original diverter valve failed regularly, even at stock boost levels. The improved Pierburg diverter valve has a piston valve design that eliminates the original, failure-prone rubber diaphragm. This mechanical design is more durable and is an excellent upgrade for all stock or modified 2.0T FSI & TSI engines. Spend more time driving, less time fixing!

If you have an Audi B9, chances are you have an eye for subtle, functional, and artistic design. While the factory plastic hood release is functional, it leaves much to be desired in terms of aesthetic additions to the look of your engine bay. With the Billet Aluminum Hood Latch Release Handle from ECS, you can leave no stone unturned and take a forgettable part and make it a party piece. Both more durable and more stylish, this hood latch handle is sure to match your attention to detail and add flair to an understated part of your bay.

An unfortunate consequence of the modern closed PCV/breather system is the unintended ingestion of oil vapor and carbon into the intake tract. Thus lowering octane rating and leaving harmful deposits on a vehicle's intake valves and ports that result in decreased power. Engineered in-house and manufactured here in the USA, the ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can utilizes a highly efficient 4-chamber oil separator, decreasing oil ingestion and maintaining engine power output. The innovative design also catches as much blow-by gas as possible, bringing carbon buildup to an absolute minimum.

ECS Exact-Fit stainless reinforced brake lines provide more confident and dependable stopping by maintaining consistent brake pressure, long lasting corrosion resistance, and increased protection from failure. Even when new, factory style fabric mesh lined rubber hoses are prone to expansion under the pressure of hard braking, whether it be highway panic stops or threshold braking at the track. ECS lines are braided with stainless steel mesh, affording expansion resistance. This resistance to expansion creates a firmer pedal, and more direct pedal feel for your Audi.

A critical maintenance need in your Audi is refreshing the Cooling System. The components and coolant are subjected to extreme temperatures and drastic fluctuations between hot and cold under even normal driving conditions. Excessive heat from competitive conditions exponentially increase the stress on your system. This causes deterioration of hoses and housings, which inevitably lead to coolant leaks and improper cooling of your engine. Regular replacement of system components and flushing your coolant are important to ensure proper function.
