The Audi 2.0T powerplant has received numerous awards for its exceptional blend of efficiency and power, adding to the great German tradition of engineering mastery. ECS Tuning decided that this engine deserves an under-hood appearance that speaks to its technical accomplishments. Made from hand-laid carbon fiber with pre-impregnated cloth and epoxy resin, then finished in a gloss clearcoat for UV-protection, the ECS Carbon Fiber Engine Cover is a study in engineering precision. Also, the unique engine cover mounting grommets are conveniently pre-installed for you.

Turbo compressor surge is a harmful effect of boost pressure that is not released when the throttle body plate is closed. Thankfully Audi implemented a diverter valve to relieve pressure and keep your turbocharger safe. Over time your diverter valve can show signs of weakness and either stop working completely or leak, which both can have negative effects on your vehicle. If your diverter valve is on its last breath consider replacement sooner than later. We have a wide range of options for just about everyone's needs. We also have some great accessories as well!

Your Audi's generator, fans, water pumps and AC compressors all rely on accessory drive belts to do their job. Over time, cracking, glazing, and squeaking occur; for these reasons, replacing your drive belts before they crack or break is a highly prudent investment. Additionally, if the accessory belt snaps constantly, or is sloppy and loose in your vehicle, the only solution is a new tensioner. The ECS-assembled kit comes with everything you need to refresh your whole drive belt system, including the tensioner assembly, accessory belt, and hardware.

The factory Audi B9 A4 transmission mount has a large void in the rubber damping medium, which results in excessive transmission movement under load. This movement results in drivetrain slop than can be observed when accelerating, decelerating, and shifting. This billet aluminum insert is designed to fill the large void in the factory transmission mount, and limit transmission movement without sacrificing ride quality or introducing any additional noise, vibration, or harshness into the cabin.

The belly pans provided for most Audi’s have always appeared to be under-engineered, out of place, cost-cutting parts. Many enthusiasts have even chose to run their vehicles without this protective cover entirely. This decision, however, ignores the unfortunate reality that the belly pan protects several critical engine and drivetrain components. ECS has a much more sensible solution – The Street Shield Skid Plate features corrosion resistant, 4mm thick 5052 aluminum, offering complete engine undercarriage protection.

Maintaining adequate tension on the timing chain is its most basic purpose, keeping the correct level of slack in the chain to best balance noise levels and friction reduction. The second function of this deceptively advanced part is controlling cam timing, maintaining power through all rpms by rapidly adjusting the valve opening and closing event. Assembled By ECS Cam Chain Tensioner kits are available, allowing your 1.8T the opportunity to make maximum power and maintain efficient timing chain operation.

Why would you drill holes into your perfectly good front grille or bumper? Avoid drilling holes by using a tow hook mounted plate bracket from GMG!

Simply add or remove your license plate without ever damaging your car. Don't Screw It Up - Screw It In.

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 the 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 uses 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.

The APR Cast Downpipe Exhaust System replaces the restrictive factory downpipe and chambered resonator with a larger, 76mm stainless steel mandrel-bent system, featuring a bell-mouth cast inlet, high-flow catalyst and various other features.

It’s one of the best performance enhancements for the 2.0 TFSI following the APR ECU Upgrade. This downpipe was designed and assembled in-house at APR, using premium materials and world-class manufacturing.

Most aftermarket boost gauges are clearly poorly designed add-ons. The dial numbers and lighting don't match the factory gauges, and most use a mounting system that plainly looks out of place.

The gauge design blends with other dash gauges to give it a classy, factory-installed look. We've even prepared a detailed photo tutorial outlining the installation, so the fun can start as soon as you open the box.
