The wheel that redefined OEM+ just got its evolution. Introducing the NEUSPEED RSe10R; a modern refresh of NEUSPEED's all-time best seller, the original RSe10. With its flow formed construction, precision-engineered fitments, and iconic split 10-spoke layout, the RSe10 earned its place as the go-to aftermarket wheel for VW and Audi enthusiasts worldwide. The RSe10R builds on that legacy � bringing sharper lines, deeper spoke pocketing, and a more aggressive overall stance, while retaining everything that made the original great: lightweight performance, perfect fitment, and daily-driver durability. From daily commute to weekend canyon run, the RSe10R offers a refined look that doesn�t shout � it shows. The sculpted spokes and motorsport-inspired silhouette make it an ideal match for modern Euro builds that demand both form and function.

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. Designed with both performance and longevity in mind, this thermostat is the ultimate solution to overheating and coolant leaks, offering peace of mind in everyday driving and high-performance applications.

In 2023, I began searching for a new high-performance, track-capable vehicle to replace my MK6 GLI, which had since been converted into an autocross toy. I found this low-mileage 2018 B9 S4 Prestige with almost every available option at an unbelievable price, and it checked all the boxes for me. I've always felt that the aggressive styling of the B9 generation doesn't need much to stand out. However, the goal for this build was a stealthy, OEM+ look. To achieve that, I replaced the Audi rings, S4 emblems, fender badges, lower bumper grilles, window trim, bumper reflectors, and mirror caps with gloss black versions. The front grille was then swapped for an RS-style gloss black piece, and our black front lip and rear diffuser completed the look. For wheels, I partnered with Rohana Wheels to spec out a perfectly suited set of RFX13s in gloss black. Under the hood, the car boasts a full lineup of ECS performance upgrades: intake system, turbo inlet and outlet, intercooler, charge pipes, post-throttle pipes, catch can, diverter valve spacer, and more. It's lowered on our ECS lowering springs, which pair beautifully with the OEM adaptive suspension. The car is tuned by our friends at Integrated Engineering, running their Stage 2 ECU and TCU tunes, making the car absolutely RIP while maintaining all factory safety protocols. It sounds just as good as it drives, thanks to a higher-flowing cat, Supersprint downpipes, and an ECS X-pipe, all while retaining the factory valved mufflers. This car has been used in the development of several new products here in R&D, with more exciting upgrades to come.

Unlike dual-pulley setups that require multiple modifications and a lengthy installation process, this single overdriven crankshaft pulley delivers greater performance benefits in a simpler package. With increased boost pressure and supercharger RPM, optimized belt engagement, and compatibility with most Stage 2 ECU tunes, our 207mm crank pulley upgrade provides an efficient path to unlocking your engines full potential. This pulley bolts directly over the existing crankshaft pulley, eliminating the need to press on a smaller supercharger pulley saving you time and effort. Unlike smaller supercharger pulleys that can cause belt slippage, this crank pulley upgrade eliminates that risk, delivering consistent and reliable performance. Our 207mm crank pulley upgrade retains the factory crank pulley damper for the accessory drive, preserving the balance and longevity of your engine components.

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.

Valve covers do exactly as the name suggests, keeping the camshaft & valves covered from outside influence while keeping engine oil in for proper lubrication. If you have a cracked or warped valve cover, common issues include engine oil leaks and, in extreme cases, a rough idle due to an improper seal of the internal engine. Be sure to replace your damaged valve covers and relieve worry about excessive leaks ruining your day.

There are plenty of ways to lower your B8 S4, but how you do it will depend on what you want from the car.

Brand new, these coilovers give you body adjustability for that perfect height and 32-way damping adjustment to make your car ride just right, all from a complete package with high-quality components.

There are basically three ways to lower your B6/B7 A4/S4. You have lowering springs, coilovers, and air suspension. If you�re on a budget, or want reliability, air is off the table. Springs are low cost, but you probably need new struts and shocks to work with the lower height, making them more expensive than you�d expect. Coilovers are the best option, but which ones? Our new Adjustable Damping Performance Coilover Systems are your budget, style, and handling sweet spot for the look you want and a ride quality set to your liking.
