ECS Tuning proudly introduces our line of premium, corrosion-resistant rotors: GEOMET®. GEOMET® is a special coating containing metal oxides, zinc, and aluminum flakes, sprayed over the entire rotor surface to ensure complete coverage, and baked on at 600 degrees to form a durable and attractive silver-gray finish that fights rust far better than paints or other conventional coatings. You can expect your new GEOMET® rotors to outperform and outlast stock rotors, and look great behind your alloy wheels.

The problem is widespread and chronic: cam followers for the high pressure fuel pump in FSI engines are prone to wear. Savvy FSI owners periodically pull the pump and check the follower to avoid costly fuel pump and camshaft damage. Symptoms of a failing cam follower include loss of power, rough running, and an illuminated check engine light. To help you understand and mitigate the problem, we've put together a photo tutorial that demonstrates how to inspect and replace your cam follower. Use it with our handy repair kit to keep your FSI running strong.

Innovative flywheel options are now available to Audi B8 2.0T owners. The ECS engineered Lightweight Flywheel weighs in at 17.8lbs versus the factory 26.5lb - a staggering 8.7lbs of weight savings. A decreased mass means a lower moment of inertia, allowing your engine to rev much more quickly - improving acceleration. Heat treated and black zinc plated for corrosion resistance and durability, the ECS unit is a model of engineering precision. Multiple complete clutch kits are also available, with torque ratings ranging from 320ft/lbs to 440ft/lbs.

Check out the OEM 710N diverter valve for your Audi. 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.
