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.

The easy to use Schwaben Bleeding Products allow you to bleed and flush your fluid systems with the convenience and accuracy of a professional.

Schwaben also offers a catch bottle that holds a full 1 Liter of fluid and features easy to read oil level marks for accurate draining.

A known weakness with the Audi B8 A4 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.

The belly pans fitted to modern Audis have always appeared to be under-engineered, out of place, cost-cutting parts.

ECS has a much more sensible solution – The Street Shield Skid Plate features corrosion resistant, 4mm thick 5052 aluminum, with included steel hardware, offering complete engine undercarriage protection weighing in at only 11.5 lbs.
