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. The line of fully-loaded pressure bleeders are undoubtedly the best-performing products of their kind available on the market today. Also available with this release is the convenient 11mm Brake Bleeder Wrench, allowing you to bleed your front and rear brakes with one easy to use tool. 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.

ST Performance Suspensions is having a spring rebate sale, making their already highly competitive pricing even more appealing. This offer applies to all sway bars, coilovers, and lowering springs. Along with the savings from ST, ECS Tuning is also offering gift cards up to $50 and free shipping on select products. Featuring low-friction, pressure resistant housings and chrome-plated piston rods for maximum longevity, ST X series suspensions provide more predictable, stable handling dynamics and height adjustability across an average range of 1'' to 2.5'' front and rear.

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. Many enthusiasts have chosen to run their cars without the protective cover entirely.

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.
