Factory brake calipers slide on guide pins through rubber bushings. This design is adequate and widely used from the factory by Audi/VW. For more precise braking, bronze bushings and 304 stainless steel guide pins allow for a more positive feel at the pedal and more even pad wear. ECS Performance Caliper Guide Bushings are C544 bronze to complement anti-seize, providing additional lubrication - all of which is held in place by an integrated o-ring and dust cap. Working in concert with new stainless steel guide pins allows for a much longer service life and less maintenance.

Today's modern engines were made with complex tools that only dealerships seem to have on hand. This forces one to take their vehicle to a dealer in order to get routine service. With these new tools from Schwaben, you can do this service yourself. Whether you need to do up your brake calipers, remove lug bolts and trim, ignition coils, or tighten your timing belt, Schwaben has the tool for the job. These high-quality and long lasting tools will do the job right the first time, giving you more time to enjoy your vehicle where it belongs, on the road.

In most vehicle applications, the plastic turbo inlet hoses found in the intake system are not designed for performance or modifications. They were designed to get the job done. When you add a performance filter, intake, or tune the stock hoses can start to show their weakness. The ECS Silicone Turbo Inlet Hose was engineered in-house with a high-quality 5-ply construction, providing a strong but flexible structure to ensure a secure fit. A smooth interior provides unimpeded airflow, while the smooth, unassuming exterior adds an appearance upgrade to any engine bay.

The APR Turbo Inlet Pipe is an easy-to-install bolt-on upgrade that eliminates a restriction before the turbocharger. Unlike fabricated units on the market today, APR's is cast from aluminum, allowing for an organically shaped inlet that transitions gradually over a large distance promoting better flow. It’s larger than stock throughout, removing a large internal restriction at the PCV inlet, and outflows the factory unit allowing the turbocharger to operate more efficiently. This upgrade is recommending at all stages utilizing an IHI IS12, IS20 or IS38 turbocharger!

The 034Motorsport Res-X Resonator Delete unleashes a throaty growl that exudes the sound of performance and warns bystanders that this isn't your average Audi or Volkswagen.

This is a true bolt-in exhaust upgrade that eliminates the quiet factory resonator for a deeper exhaust growl.

BFI raises the bar when it comes to one of the most frequently touched parts of your car's interior. These heavyweight shift knobs feel like butter in the palm of your hand, thanks due to the top grain perforated air leather or black alcantara that it's wrapped in. Weighing in at 215 to 250 grams the added inertial mass makes shifting effort substantially less while speeding up the process at the same time. The machining is top notch, and the detailed crest coin gives that classy yet sporting look which elevates any interior's level by at least 50 cool points!

Most aftermarket boost gauges are clearly poorly designed add-ons. The dial numbers and lighting don't match the factory gauges, and most utilize a mounting system that plainly looks out of place. We think your boost gauge should be easy to see, & match the design of your interior. That's why we've developed a tasteful, center-vent mounted boost gauge kit. The gauge design blends with other dash gauges to give it a classy, factory-installed look. We've even prepared a detailed photo tutorial outlining the installation, so the fun can start as soon as you open the box.

The APR Ultracharger System dramatically increases horsepower and torque, and maximizes the power potential of the 3.0 TFSI. It removes a massive pre-supercharger restriction, allowing uninterrupted airflow into the supercharger for up to an astonishing 542 HP with APR's Supercharger and Crank Pulleys (MS100133 / MS100135).

An elegant solution to vague and imprecise steering, performance control arms with poly bushings let you feel the road through your fingertips. Factory rubber bushings are intended to buffer road sensations from steering input. But for the performance driver, a highly tactile connection to the road conveys more information about vehicle dynamics, sharpening driving awareness. That's why we're offering control arm assemblies already fitted with poly bushings that tighten suspension feel, restore vehicle safety, and last many miles longer than stock bushings.

An unfortunate consequence of the modern closed PCV/breather system is the unintended ingestion of oil vapor and carbon into the intake tract. This lowers the octane rating and leaves 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 features a highly efficient 4-chamber oil separator; this design decreases oil ingestion and maintains engine power output. This design also catches as much blow-by gas as possible, bringing carbon buildup to an absolute minimum.
