Get in touch with your bad self. You know how to drive a stick, so why not stick a fork in that marshmallow self-adjusting pressure plate. Why not go with a conventional disc, mated to a single mass flywheel. Our Valeo single mass flywheel clutch conversion kit takes your Audi back to its roots as a bare-knuckled brawler. The non-adjustable pressure plate puts you in touch with the clutch, restoring a crisp, responsive feel. The single mass flywheel costs less than a dual mass, and can be resurfaced in the future to extend its service life. You'll feel the difference.

Take the danger and aggravation out of lifting your TT with the ECS Tuning Jack Pad Adapter Kit. Designed to fit the head of a standard floor jack, the adapter has a round head that firmly engages the chassis jack pads. Positive engagement at jack head and chassis resists jack slippage and shifting, while the raised adapter head prevents damage to rocker panel trim and underbody panels. Made of black anodized aluminum for added strength and corrosion resistance, the adapter fits the head of most hydraulic floor jacks, including the Schwaben Low Boy.

Keep your boost inside the intake, where it belongs. Cure common driveability concerns with this stronger, more durable 710N valve. Diverter valves live in a tough neighborhood. By definition, they limit turbo boost, and most eventually fail due to a pin-hole or tear in the valve diaphragm. The 710N Valve is a diaphragm-based, factory upgrade for a lot of applications. The 710N valve was originally found on the TT225, and is known to have a tougher internal diaphragm that can withstand higher boost levels.

Most aftermarket boost gauges are clearly poorly designed add-ons. The dial numbers and lighting don't match the factory gauges, and most use 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 combustion event inside the cylinder must be carefully controlled to realize maximum power and efficiency.

A simple way to check your bearing is to lift the wheel off the ground and try to move the tire back and forth, by pushing the top and bottom of the tire in. If there is play, this commonly means the wheel bearing has failed.
