A known weakness with the Audi 2.0T engine, the factory diverter valve diaphragm has a tendency to wear and crack under stock boost pressure levels. The rubber material chosen for the diaphragm cannot withstand consistent boost diversion, and certainly will not contain the added boost levels that accompanies performance modifications. Go Fast Bits has developed a solution that only attends to the problem itself - the weak valve mechanism - replacing it with an aluminum housing & brass piston - saving you the time and money of unnecessarily replacing the entire unit itself.

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, RS4 owners have the option of restoring Audi's original intention of providing a focused race-bred machine by widening their B7's stance, improving road-holding and performance aesthetics. Improve your stance appeal with the 10mm ECS spacers & appropriate-length bolts setup. Also available with black wheel bolts.

Our three-piece pulley kit combines weight savings with an overall underdrive pulley ratio to take back power that is usually lost to inertia and accessory loads. Available in black, blue, or red, these pulley kits come with a smaller diameter crank pulley, larger diameter power steering pulley, and stock diameter alternator pulley. This balanced combination reduces parasitic power losses associated with accessory loads and the high moment of inertia of heavier pulleys. Our carefully in-house engineered set works perfectly with your stock tensioner and belt to save you money.

Convert your glove box to a minifridge. This simple but effective factory upgrade kit routes air conditioned air from the evaporator housing through an insulated tube to your glove box.

ECS Tuning's 2-Piece rotors combine the advantages of weight savings and rapid heat dissipation to provide a rotor superior to conventional rotors while preventing warping and extending component life. The reduction of unsprung weight improves handling characteristics under all situations. This reduction in rotational inertia allows for quicker acceleration, decreased braking distances, and more responsive handling.
