It's common tuner wisdom that increasing airflow & reducing exhaust restrictions increases an engine's ability to make power. Of course, more available air only translates to increased power output when an engine's ECU adjusts to this new condition by adding more fuel to the mixture. The importance of a superior-performing fuel pump should be obvious - the majority of power modifications place extra demands on this part, posing the risk of fuel cutouts or fuel pump failure. With the Autotech Hi-Volume Fuel Pump Upgrade, the sky is the limit, offering up to 50% more fuel flow.

When the stock rubber snub mount fails, the entire drivetrain can experience excessive movement, both torsionally and laterally. This movement ultimately results in a less refined and immediate feeling when you put the pedal to the metal. ECS Tuning has designed its own polyurethane snub mount. A direct-fit mount with higher durometer and more robust construction. You'll immediately feel an improvement in throttle response, shift feel, and a more solid drivetrain. If your B5 is wearing many miles or has power-adding mods, the ECS poly snub mount is your next logical upgrade.

Changing the suspension setup on a refined German car often times feels like meddling with perfection.

With engineering tailored specifically to your Audi, damping and height adjustability provide the perfect balance between performance and ride comfort.

There is no reason why you have to live with malfunctioning windows in your B5 A4 1.8T. Grinding, rattling, or clicking when engaging your windows is a sign of probable regulator failure. Vaico has developed a simple replacement part that restores your window operation to factory, giving your luxury sedan a nice added measure of practicality and functionality. Please specify front or rear, left or right when purchasing - the product is door-specific.

The factory oil filter housing cap on your Audi doesn't jive with the rest of the engine bay's fine materials. The super-slick black billet aluminum cap by ECS corrects this oversight, while adding another dimension of increased longevity, durability, and ease of use. The ECS housing requires no special tools to install the cap; all you'll need is a common 21mm socket or box wrench.

Alzor Style 621 wheels feature a 10-Spoke, twisted design that accentuates rather than distracts from the Audi's natural steel musculature.

Available in 17", 18” & 19” sizes with offsets of ET35 & ET45.

Stock diverter valves just can't handle performance upgrades. Additional boost can extend the factory limits of operation and blow the diaphragm to pieces. Forge Motorsports recognized this dilemma. That's why they've engineered boost-hardy diverter valves tough enough to take the pressure without blowing their lids. These units utilize completely serviceable valves with an aluminum piston and o-ring seal - compared to the easily-torn rubber diaphragm found in the OEM valve. The improved aluminum design and internal piston allow for faster response and improved durability.

Having the right tools for the job at hand always makes your project much easier and less time consuming. The Schwaben VAG Connector Removal Tool is an Audi/VW owner's best friend. The tool fits directly on the push & pull style VAG connector and gives just the perfect amount of leverage to release the connector and not break the tab. This style connector is often found on mass air flow (MAF) sensors, coil packs, headlights/fog lights, level sensors, and countless other parts. A large ergonomic ball that fits into your palm is also fitted on the end of the tool for extra grip.

Just press the keyfob hatch button, and the hatch unlatches and rises to greet you. Perfect for loading packages, or showing off at your local car meet, this kit is easy to install with simple hand tools.

A broken timing belt does more than leave you in tennis shoe mode; it causes extensive expensive engine damage when piston heads mangle valves. Don't wait for disaster to strike. Check our assortment of timing belts and belt kits. We have you covered: from basic belt-tensioner combos to Ultra kits with water pump, thermostat, accessory belts, bolts, and seals.

A known weakness with the 2.0T engine, the factory diverter valve diaphragm has a tendency to wear and crack under stock boost pressure levels. The rubber material chosen for the diaphragm cannot withstand consistent boost diversion, and certainly will not contain the added boost levels that accompanies performance modifications. Go Fast Bits has developed a solution that only attends to the problem itself - the weak valve mechanism - replacing it with an aluminum housing & brass piston - saving you the time and money of unnecessarily replacing the entire unit itself.
