The EA888 Gen1 TSI engine has a well-documented history of intake manifold issues. Failures of the inlet runner control flaps, linkage malfunctions, and poor-quality plastic construction contribute to engine fault codes and negatively impact drivability. Since the engine's iteration in 2008, Volkswagen has implemented multiple intake manifold revisions to address these issues. Among many changes, the latest update (06J133201BH) introduces a notable, somewhat unusual alteration: revised fuel rail mounting geometry. Vehicles equipped with older fuel rail revisions (06J133317J or 06J133317M) must upgrade to the newest fuel rail revision (06J133317AB) to ensure proper fitment and optimal functionality. Unfortunately, the updated fuel rail carries a substantial cost, presenting a significant barrier for enthusiasts attempting to retrofit the latest intake manifold. With this issue in mind, our engineers set out to improve upon the existing fuel rail design, creating a cost-effective, all-in-one update and upgrade! Manufactured from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, this precision-machined rail is guaranteed to outlast its OEM counterpart. What's more, our exclusive design features ported fuel injector and fuel feed passages, ensuring optimal fuel flow up to and into each fuel injector.

Unlike conventional one-piece rotors, this two-piece design drastically improves heat dissipation by bolting the aluminum rotor hat directly to the cast iron ring. The heat-treated rings undergo a specialized process to minimize internal stress, reducing the likelihood of cracking under extreme braking forces. Additionally, directional curved veins efficiently channel hot air away from the braking surface for faster, more consistent cooling compared to traditional straight-veined designs.

We all know that the visor clips can easily get damaged by a careless passenger or driver. The plastic breaks and your visor shakes and moves while your'e driving down the road. Our engineers had this same problem with their Audis and decided to do something about it, introducing the last sun visor clip you'll ever need. These billet aluminum clips ensure you'll never break another tab again. They install easily with 2 rubber well nuts and custom made pinch nuts for a very snug fit.

The factory rubber driveshaft bushing that constrains the driveshaft center carrier bearing is prone to excess deflection and wear, especially on modified or aggressively-driven vehicles. With our ECS Tuning in-house engineered Polyurethane and Billet Aluminum Driveshaft Center Support Bearing Brace you can expect less driveshaft deflection which we felt had a note-able improvement in throttle response and longevity over the factory rubber bearing support.
