From the factory, Audi's 3.0T engine is equipped with a plastic thermostat housing. While sufficient when new, its plastic construction is prone to degradation over time. After enduring thousands of heat cycles and consistent exposure to chemical-rich antifreeze, the housing becomes brittle and begins to crack. Once the material is compromised, it can lead to a significant coolant leak, which, if left unchecked, may result in overheating and severe engine damage. This is especially problematic for the supercharged 3.0T, where maintaining proper engine temperature is critical for both performance and longevity. Our engineers set out to fix this issue with the ECS Billet Aluminum Thermostat Upgrade, engineered for enhanced durability, efficiency, and reliability. This precision-machined 6061 T6 billet aluminum thermostat replaces the failure-prone factory plastic housing, addressing one of the most common failure modes for all 3.0T supercharged engines.

The B8 S4 was purchased because of ECS after maximizing a B5 A4 (fully swapped to S4 "AS4" drift car only to keep destroying multiple axles per event due to making over 500WHP and 500WTQ on the 2.7t. When ECS Tuning reached out asking if I had access to a B8 S4 Manual car to test their new bolt on RWD kit, I immediately found the cheapest buy-it-now priced S4 in the country and bought it. RWD kit was on within 12 hours of owning the car. The car has be first of its kind most of its life with me. Made great power on the 3.0T, just hated the sound of a V6 in race form. After running into limitations within the ECU/Chassis harness when trying to delete ABS. An LS3-based V8 was built and swapped in, hoping to focus on the chassis knowing I had a solid drivetrain. With traditional transmissions, the rear diff swap was required as the quattro cars from Audi turn the rear differential in the opposite direction of conventional RWD cars. A Ford 8.8 IRS was swapped in using OEM axles in the rear. Now for the 3rd time in the chassis's life I am swapping back to an Audi Motor and transmission as I have a good handle on chassis set up/angle kit. I am building a EA888 2.0t out of a B8 A4 with the power goals of 800+ WHP. This German Hot Rod is my new AS4 Drift car. I opened my own Euro Repair and Performance Shop in the summer of 2024. We have started building several EA888's for clients, I've come to love the 2.0t engines. Wanting to go back to an All Audi Drift Program, the EA888 just made sense.
