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 BMW E9x has proven itself to be a true-blooded BMW, with handling dynamics that are close to perfect. One area of this particular model's suspension that can use bolstering is at the sway bar. ECS tested 28mm front and 15mm rear sway bars for this precise reason. Reduce body roll in turns, stiffen suspension, and add a much needed dimension of handling predictability with the ECS units - designed to fit and function in perfect harmony with your BMW.

From the simplest, most common cosmetic upgrades to massive six-piston Porsche Cayenne Big Brakes, the ECS MK5 GTI has gone through a journey of modifications. This ECS build has created a one of a kind, truly unique car that not only turns heads at shows, but makes even a grown man giggle with joy when he puts his foot down on a winding country road. With each modification designed to fine tune and enhance the performance of the GTI, this show stopper is a drivers dream. Be sure to check out the ECS Tuning Project MK5 GTI video on Youtube for an inside look of our build.

Within the wishbone suspension design, camber and caster are specified by the wishbones, while toe-in is secured by the trailing arm. Bushings support the trailing arms, securing them to the chassis. Over time, the trailing arm bushings wear down, leaving toe-in under-regulated and suspension geometry altered. Every facet of handling performance is harmed, making the driving experience unpredictable and imprecise. A clever and simple solution to trailing arm deflection is the ECS Trailing Arm Bushing Limiter Set, a brilliant investment for all E83 X3 owners.

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!

Introducing the Turner IAT Relocation Harness. BMW designed your air intake system in a way that put the intake air temperature sensor close to the engine, this can cause intake temperature readings to be higher than reality.

The Turner Motorsport relocation harness offers a clean OE appearance to the modification allowing the IAT sensor to be moved closer to the filter itself providing real world air temperatures.

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.

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.
