Built to eliminate the common issue of leaks found in OEM plastic reservoirs, this high-quality upgrade delivers long-term durability and peace of mind under both daily driving and high-performance conditions. Crafted from robust aluminum, this reservoir is engineered for a seamless installation - fully compatible with factory hoses and the original mounting bracket. That means no complicated modifications, just a straightforward upgrade that integrates cleanly into your existing setup while dramatically improving resilience and longevity. Inside, the design goes far beyond a simple replacement.

NEW ECS 1.8T/2.0T GEN3 INTAKE MANIFOLD
If you're aiming for a big turbo build, the new ECS in-house designed 1.8T/2.0T Gen3 Fabricated Aluminum Intake Manifold kit is a key piece of the puzzle. Our new intake offers 53% greater plenum volume for snappier throttle response and is designed to supply turbo setups the factory manifold just can't feed. With ports for meth injection, nitrous, and even multi-port injection, our manifold is as modular as the VW MQB platform. It's ready to be the perfect solution for your build to help you reach those big power goals.
The IS38- the "big brother" to the IS12 and IS20- has earned legendary status among MQB 1.8T and 2.0T enthusiasts, delivering substantial gains in horsepower and torque while retaining factory-like drivability. Taken directly from the Golf R and S3 parts bin, the IS38 features larger compressor and turbine wheels but maintains a similar-sized frame. Naturally, this turbocharger became the go-to upgrade for MK7, 8V, and other IS12/IS20 owners chasing big power without sacrificing refinement.
Designed with optimized airflow in mind, our Performance Intake System replaces restrictive factory MAF tubes with carbon fiber MAF tubes. These precision-molded pieces are engineered with velocity stacks to smooth airflow and increase efficiency. Dual cone filters are strategically relocated inside the rear fenders, positioning them directly in the path of factory cold air ducting. This reduces intake air temperatures for cooler, denser airflow, contributing to increased horsepower and throttle response. Despite their advanced design, these tubes maintain the factory mass airflow sensor location, ensuring CEL-free operation. No tune is required!

New ECS Brake Upgrades for B5/B6/B7/C5
Take your braking to the next level with our Stage 4 Front Big Brake Kit, engineered for enthusiasts who demand maximum stopping power. This high-performance kit includes quality, race-inspired braking components, delivering track-ready performance and precision stopping directly to your vehicle. Each part is designed and tested in-house at ECS Tuning to ensure quality, reliability, and compatibility with your application. At the heart of our kit are massive ECS 18Z 6-piston front brake calipers, which provide exceptional clamping force for consistent, fade-free braking. These calipers work in tandem with large 2-piece floating rotors, which reduce stress on the rotor hat while allowing the friction surface to expand independently under heat. This floating design improves braking leverage and ensures that your rotors maintain optimal performance even under heavy, repeated stops on the street or track. Additionally, our proprietary rotors are cross-drilled and slotted, giving you the perfect balance of durability, performance, and cooling. The slotted surfaces provide improved bite and consistent stopping power, while the cross-drilled pattern allows heat and gases generated during braking to escape, reducing the risk of fade and extending rotor life. Complementing the rotors are ECS EP24 "Enthusiast Performance" brake pads, formulated to deliver aggressive stopping power, smooth engagement, and reliable performance in all conditions.

Heat robs performance, which is why modern forced induction platforms use an intercooler to drop the charge air temperatures. However, in upgraded applications, the factory unit just doesn�t cut it.
