An important function of your engine's operation is the induction of air. Colder air is more dense and allows for more fuel and more power. Volant air intake systems feature a high-velocity venturi filter adapter which provides a smooth transition through the MAF sensor into the intake tube for a much needed airflow improvement over the factory rubber tubing and resonator box. Volant's Cold Air box is larger than the factory unit and incorporates a larger opening to collect a higher volume of colder ambient air.

Now Available at ECS, Techtonics Tuning, another well-known manufacturer in the European automotive industry! Offering high-end downpipes and exhaust systems for your performance Audi. Each piece is finely constructed of T-304 stainless steel for long lasting reliability and designed around OEM components for an exact fit.

Turbo compressor surge is a harmful effect of boost pressure that is not released when the throttle body plate is closed. Thankfully Audi implemented a dirverter valve to relieve pressure and keep your turbocharger safe. Over time your diverter valve can show signs of weakness and either stop working completely or leak, which both can have negative effects on your vehicle. If your diverter valve is on its last breath consider replacement sooner than later. We have a wide range of options for just about everyone's needs.

Audi 8V A3/S3 owners now have access to one of the most striking performance upgrades available today. P3 Cars VIDI Digital Interfaces represent the most powerful, beautifully integrated metrics systems on the performance market, instantly relaying boost pressure, coolant temp, intake air temp, exhaust gas temp, throttle plate position, speed, and RPM - right from your defroster vent location. The interface comes pre-installed in a direct-fit housing and plugs right into your car's onboard diagnostic connector. Zero splicing or coding is required for this superb upgrade.

Throughout their extensive research and development and knowledge of the European vehicle line, APR has designed the ultimate upgrade for any vehicle. Dyno-proven horsepower increases and complete customization make APR ECU upgrades the absolute best value in performance. Even if your vehicle is stock, APR will extract hidden power with fuel and virtually all engine remapping. Designed to work without requiring other changes to the vehicle’s hardware, the ECU upgrade alone, measured higher peak figures of 367-388 ft-lbs of torque and 306-314 horsepower depending on fuel grade.

The plastic factory airbox is good at muffling intake noise and enhancing low rpm or low speed engine performance, but becomes very restrictive when the engine is operating in the higher rpm range where most performance drivers need it. The NEUSPEED P-Flo allows you to uncork the intake side of your engine, drawing in a nearly unlimited supply of fresh air. Every P-Flo kit includes a high-performance, oiled multi-layer cotton gauze air filter that is washable and reusable. You also get an aggressive, deep throaty engine roar when you step on the gas pedal.

When the 2.0T engine was introduced, the rubber diaphragm in the original diverter valve failed regularly, even at stock boost levels. The improved Pierburg diverter valve has a piston valve design that eliminates the original, failure-prone rubber diaphragm. This mechanical design is more durable and is an excellent upgrade for all stock or modified 2.0T FSI & TSI engines. Spend more time driving, less time fixing!

By locking down the rear subframe and rear differential, rear suspension geometry is maintained and driveline rigidity is improved, resulting in a more "connected" relationship between driver and machine. Rear suspension feedback is enhanced, rear sway bar upgrades are more effective and a more connected feel between shifter and driveline is created.

ECS lip spoilers add a subtle but distinctive look to your deck lid. These flexible black plastic spoilers are durable and attractive. Install it black, right out of the box, or color-match to taste.

Just clean the painted surface thoroughly, then peel the protective coating from the adhesive strip, and stick the lip in place.

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, A6 owners have the option of restoring Audi's original intention of providing a focused driver's machine by widening their stance, improving road-holding and performance aesthetics. Improve your stance appeal with an ECS spacers & appropriate-length bolts setup.

If you have an Audi B9, chances are you have an eye for subtle, functional, and artistic design. While the factory plastic hood release is functional, it leaves much to be desired in terms of aesthetic additions to the look of your engine bay. With the Billet Aluminum Hood Latch Release Handle from ECS, you can leave no stone unturned and take a forgettable part and make it a party piece. Both more durable and more stylish, this hood latch handle is sure to match your attention to detail and add flair to an understated part of your bay.

An unfortunate consequence of the modern closed PCV/breather system is the unintended ingestion of oil vapor and carbon into the intake tract. Thus lowering octane rating and leaving harmful deposits on a vehicle's intake valves and ports that result in decreased power. Engineered in-house and manufactured here in the USA, the ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can utilizes a highly efficient 4-chamber oil separator, decreasing oil ingestion and maintaining engine power output. The innovative design also catches as much blow-by gas as possible, bringing carbon buildup to an absolute minimum.

ECS Tuning now offers an exceptional new complete bolt-on turbo upgrade kit that requires no additional plumbing or modifications. The FrankenTurbo F21T hybrid turbo upgrade allows you to use the turbocharger upgrade by itself with all factory components. You can also choose to upgrade your ECU and choice components for a more smooth, consistent power delivery. The F21T utilizes an inconel 713C Alloy Steel "Mixed Flow" Turbine Rotor, forged billet aluminum alloy compressor wheel, 42CrMo high-strength rotor shaft, and an up-rated K16-series 360 degree thrust bearing and ring.

Today's direct fuel injection systems have taken engine performance to a new level, but there’s a drawback. With no fuel vapors to clean valves, oil particles will deposit themselves onto the valves and ports. Over time this will result in an excessive carbon buildup, resulting in lost power and poor drivability. ECS now has the solution with our Performance Baffled Oil Catch Can System. In-house engineered, our system is designed to collect toxic blow-by gasses, reduce carbon build-up and reduce concentrations of acids, oxidants and water within the engine oil.
