A known weakness with the Audi 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 ECS Tuning 6-speed short shift kit shortens shift throws to let you grab the next gear faster. Reduce fore and aft movement needed to engage gears by 49, 28, or 7 percent--or leave it stock.

The kit includes five balance weights to let you dial in a feel that matches your new, reduced throws. Heavy cast shift arm comes with a complete installation kit, including plate, weights, bolts, washers, and shift pin. Order now and we'll ship yours free.

Exceptional ECS 2-piece Brake Rotors are now available for your Audi RS5.

The German TUV (Technical Inspection Association) has determined that in several European countries the clearance between fender and tire must be adequate to accommodate snow chains when safety requires. In North America, where no such law exists, RS4 owners have the option of restoring Audi's original intention of providing a focused race-bred machine by widening their B7's stance, improving road-holding and performance aesthetics. Improve your stance appeal with the 10mm ECS spacers & appropriate-length bolts setup. Also available with black wheel bolts.

Our three-piece pulley kit combines weight savings with an overall underdrive pulley ratio to take back power that is usually lost to inertia and accessory loads. Available in black, blue, or red, these pulley kits come with a smaller diameter crank pulley, larger diameter power steering pulley, and stock diameter alternator pulley. This balanced combination reduces parasitic power losses associated with accessory loads and the high moment of inertia of heavier pulleys. Our carefully in-house engineered set works perfectly with your stock tensioner and belt to save you money.

Periodic fluid/filter changes remove harmful dirt and metallic particles to head off transmission failures and expensive repairs. Fresh fluid renews additive packages to improve shift quality and performance. ECS stocks what you need to perform routine service operations: from filters and gaskets, to premium fluids that meet stringent OEM standards. If you think it's time for a change, we can help

We don't know how you feel about it, but trusting your engine's most vital fluid to a plastic filter housing seems like a leap of faith. In fact, after repeated heat cycling and several oil changes performed with pliers and other makeshift tools, the original plastic filter housing body gets pretty ratty. To give back to the customers, we've decided to throw in a MANN-FILTER with purchase! Why not install a smart looking billet aluminum housing paired with a MANN Filter, and take the guesswork and risk out of filter changes.
