Precisely balanced turbochargers are a key critical factor to become a TTE upgrade unit as longevity and performance are paramount. Good balance improves acoustics also. Subsequent care is taken with all TTE turbochargers to achieving high balance standards. Firstly parts are balanced at slow speeds up to 2800RPM in multiple planes using a single parts machine, then components are assembled, and then the CHRA are dynamically balanced, but this time depending on the application at up to 250,000 RPM in multiple planes using an in house VSR machine to acquire the ultimate equilibrium, to a standard far higher than OEM. Each turbocharger is supplied with a serial numbered balance test result document. Note: Not for sale or use in the state of California on any pollution-controlled vehicle as per the California Air Resources Board.

Take your B8 A4/A5/S4/S5 to the next level with upgraded performance and aesthetic. Our ECS lowering springs are specifically designed with both handling and comfort in mind for the best mix of performance and drivability. With an average lowering range of 1.0"-1.6" you have the added benefit of lower center of gravity providing superior cornering and better steering feedback. Lowering springs not only increase handling performance they provide an astounding aesthetic upgrade by decreasing the wheel gap and giving your car a more planted/fitted appearance.

The stock throttle body is smaller than the supercharger inlet creating a massive restriction and directly responsible for power loss. ECS Tuning's in-house designed and engineered Performance Throttle Body Upgrade will do the trick. Designed with a smooth flow path in mind, we start off with a wire reinforced silicone inlet that resists collapse and is stepped in the internal diameter to create a smooth transition to the throttle body. We then went with a high quality OEM Mopar 80mm throttle body that is 10mm larger and has 30% more cross sectional area than OE. The final step is the cast aluminum adapter housing with port matched internal diameters to provide the smoothest flow path possible. On our test car equipped with IE dual pulley 93 octane 80mm throttle body tune, ECS exhaust (valves open, stock catalytic converters), ECS supercharger heat exchanger, ECS Kohlfaser Luft Technik Intake, ECS supercharger and crank pulley, we saw 415 HP and 385 TQ at the WHEELS. See below for full specs and detailed installation guide!

ECS Tuning's leading R&D team has put in countless hours to engineer the best shifter for the B8/B8.5 chassis in the world! Keeping in mind that not everyone wants the shortest possible throw, ECS has implemented four settings of throw adjustment, providing up to a 43% reduction from the factory. Additionally, ECS has integrated a feature that allows you to independently adjust the height of your shift knob, ranging from factory to 75mm lower. The ECS Short Shifter allows you to fine tune and personalize the shifter to your liking for the best overall shifting experience.

There are plenty of ways to lower your B9, but how you do it will depend on what you want from the car.

Brand new, these coilovers give you body adjustability for that perfect height and 32-way damping adjustment to make your car ride just right, all from a complete package with high-quality components. Note: Models with Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) will require DCC Cancelers

The 4.0T powered C7 S6/S7/RS7 platform offers the pinnacle of Audi luxury in the form of an insanely powerful, supremely comfortable, and technologically marvelous big-body sedan. While that V8 twin-turbo is enough to command respect on the performance charts, it doesn�t make the noises enthusiasts hope to hear from something that boasts those figures. That�s why our new Luft-Technik Intake System is exactly what your C7 needs to sound like it performs and even picks up a significant performance gain along the way.

The C7 4.0T is notorious for eating stock fluid filled engine mounts with even the tamest tune. After extensive testing, we've designed a great poly engine mount to handle MOAR POWAH BABEH without too much added NVH! Our Engineering Manager sheered his stock passenger side engine mount while testing the ECS A2A prototype. This caused us to design a better mount while still maintaining drivability! Just like Goldilocks and the Three Bears - our first attempt was too hard, our second was too soft and the third was just right. We found that 40A durometer polyurethane was the optimal balance between NVH and stiffness. Poly bushings plus precision machined billet 6061-T6 housings with thermal isolators are a match made in 4.0T heaven. Also, because we go above and beyond we custom made error-free resistor harnesses. Grab a pair and enjoy crisper throttle response & more precise shifts!

In the world of custom builds, the farther you stray from bolt-ons, the less likely you'll find a solution on the shelves that will fit and work exactly as you need.

LIQUI MOLY is a leading producer of oil additives, engine flushes, and fuel system cleaners, so we have picked out exactly which of their products your car needs to maintain peak performance at all times.

The ECS Tuning Luft-Technik Performance Cooling Kit was designed and engineered in-house to provide you with a direct bolt-on system to improve consistency in engine performance, decrease intake air temperature, increase resistance to heat soak, and drastically lower temps!

We designed the cooling system to directly mate with the existing OEM piping, resulting in a simple install. ECS Tuning's Luft-Technik heat exchanger features an aluminum tube and fin core with fabricated 5052 aluminum end tanks. The core offers a 140% increase in frontal area compared to stock heat exchanger and designed to increase power, improve efficiency, and reduce heat soak. Our engineers provided a proper fit by utilizing factory mounting locations, making installation completely reversible.

Our well thought out kit includes all of the components necessary for a comprehensive install and feature top-tier quality components for long term durability, such as the carbon fiber wing, billet aluminum mounting brackets and uprights, Delrin decklid shims and black oxide stainless steel hardware. The spoiler has an adjustable AOA (angle of attack) between 0� - 20�; to perfect downforce:drag ratio. The end plates are adjustable for aerodynamic needs and the Delrin decklid shims provide for a flat plane to bolt onto your trunk, if it has a sloped angle.

The perfect way to unleash hidden horsepower in a modern turbocharged engine is to upgrade the restrictive factory downpipe with a smoother, higher flowing unit. This is a great way to increase performance and add a sophisticated growl to the exhaust note. Ideal performance is achieved through expelling exhaust gasses at maximum velocity through a larger diameter, freer flowing downpipe due to smoother bend radius, larger internal diameter and a less-restrictive catalytic converter.

Upgrading your MK5 or MK6 with a Front Mount Intercooler is an effective way to decrease charge-air temperatures and increase performance potential but that also requires you to retain the original intercooler since that carries the A/C condenser, radiator, and fan shroud. Naturally, that reduces the airflow to your bigger intercooler and robs you of optimal efficiency. Our new OEM Intercooler Delete Brackets allow you to ditch that old intercooler while retaining your radiator, condenser, and fan shroud for a sleek, lightweight, and free-flowing performance intercooler upgrade.
