When it comes to your regular car maintenance, nothing is more common than needing an oil change.

If you have an 1.8T/2.0T/2.5T/3.0T powered Audi and are producing more power, or want to, an important factor to consider is your spark.

Incremental upgrades make a difference, especially when you plan ahead. If you are strengthening the chassis of your B8, all the help you can get makes a big difference when everything is complete.

This increases flow and turbocharger acoustics by creating a smooth transition between the turbo outlet and intercooler pipe inlet. CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for smooth flow and lasting durability.

Your engine requires proper lubrication to function, but a simple oil change is only the bare minimum. As it ages, carbon deposits build up in your engine and rob performance by hurting efficiency.

The importance of additives is still a relatively new concept, but it is certainly critical to preserving your engine the way it deserves.
