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!

It is an easy no-drill install that creates a solid location to tie back your engine harness. Finished look to your engine bay with Turner's Cabin/Cowl Delete Filters & Turner ECU/ Brake Master Cover Set.

Strut tower bars are an excellent and common handling upgrade that work by bracing the strut towers together to reduce chassis flex during cornering. ECS Tuning has designed and tested this strut brace package in house to increase chassis rigidity and improve handling during aggressive cornering in your MK7/MK7.5 GTI or Golf R. Our Stage 1 strut bar is compatible with OEM struts or aftermarket coilovers. The additional Stage 2 brace further strengthens the strut towers while adding eye-catching underhood candy.

Rubber bushings, fixed trailing arms, and tons of deflection in your BMW suspension makes it comfortable to drive daily if you are just an owner, but enthusiasts, especially those who want to spend time on the track, need more competitive suspension. With Turner Motorsport�s track tested suspension upgrades, you can use the same technology proven by one of the most successful BMW racing teams in America to improve your BMW�s cornering and handling.

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!

Front splitters/lips are an important aerodynamic upgrade that not only change the look of your car, but also helps to create downforce, improving your vehicles overall handling at higher speeds. This can often make it hard to justify spending copious amounts on money on a part who's days are numbered, especially when being installed on a vehicle that sees both track and daily driver use. Till this day, there are very limited front lip/splitter options available for the E36 BMW enthusiast.

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.

Thicker, Quality, and Comfort! You can not disagree, that the steering wheel is the most important matter when driving. When touching it for longer periods of time you want the most comfortable and best feeling wheel, for that reason alone ECS created this sporty designed steering wheel. So that being said, why would anyone settle for their basic faded factory steering wheel? Quick replacement of the stock wheel that's requires some basic tools. When installing please first disconnect the battery before anything. Otherwise you will get a airbag light after install. 2002-7/2004 Cars will need to convert airbag and steering wheel controls to 7/2004+ Version. We don't carry the airbags, airbag is part number 32306779258

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. That's why we've launched our Universal Exhaust System program that helps provide you with the same high-quality stainless steel exhaust piping and accessories so you can tailor your spent gas exit to your needs with a brand you trust.

Some of the biggest issues when owning a BMW can come from cooling system components. Even through the years of improvement the same failure is seen with the plastic fittings and adapters from years of hot to cold temperature fluctuation. The N54 engine sees failure at the plastic adapter connecting the thermostat hose to the cylinder head, this adapter simply shears off at the end of the barbed fitting. The engineering team here at ECS decided a billet aluminum piece was a much better option to contend with the temperature fluctuation.

LIQUI MOLY is not only our favorite producer of lubrication and additive products, but they hold the title as the best oil producers in Germany: for seven consecutive years. A major part of any service is often a frequently forgotten one: using proper flushes and additives to ensure buildup and sludge are eliminated with maximum effect. 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! The R&D team at ECS Tuning has spent countless hours creating and testing a system to optimize performance and efficiency while providing the clean look that Audi owners have come to expect. 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.

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.

Specifically engineered for the M52TU / M54-powered E39i, this intake system addresses the airflow limitations of the stock airbox while retaining a clean, factory-style fit. ECS Tuning designed the system around the E39 chassis� unique mounting geometry, ensuring a direct bolt-on installation that integrates seamlessly with OEM components. Whether you�re chasing a more spirited driving experience or simply want to hear your inline-six breathe, the ECS Luft-Technik Intake delivers performance, sound, and style in one complete package.

Driving an F10 M5 can be a downright religious experience; don't let road debris knock you from your driving revelry. These cars have so much packed under the hood to get you this experience it causes the oil cooler to be placed face-down to the road. This makes the cooler an easy target for impact, which can prove catastrophic as the stock belly pan is designed from a flexible plastic material. We've heard stories of small branches, scrap pieces that fell from trucks to large ice chunks impact the cooler immediately draining the car of its oil. If you don't catch this right away this could cause serious internal engine damage due to oil starvation. This skid plate requires no modification and mounts using the existing factory hardware. Using a trim seal to press against the oil cooler allows the airflow to pull heat from the cooler the same way the OE belly pan was designed.

This electrical switch mounts to the side of the steering column and does not include lock cylinder. Mounts to opposite side of the lock cylinder. These are usually worn out and you cannot start the car, even with the battery and starter functional.

Ditch your failure-prone plastic end tanks and increase cooling capacity by 25%�all without modifying your core support or accompanying shrouds. The CSFxTurner Performance Triple-Pass Radiator is the best cooling system upgrade for your S54-equipped BMW! The E46 M3 is a masterclass in German engineering. Harboring six independent throttle bodies, infinitely variable dual-VANOS, and an 8,000 RPM redline, the S54 is practically a racing engine for the road. Unfortunately, the engine's motorsport pedigree didn't quite make it to the cooling system. The OEM radiator, while superior to its non-M counterpart, struggles to keep coolant temperature in check under sustained high-RPM conditions. Heat soak, elevated operating temperatures, and component fatigue are all too familiar to M3 owners who track their S54 regularly.

If your BMW has a plastic expansion tank and it is still intact after years of heat cycling, consider yourself lucky - however, it is not a question of whether or not it will fail, it is a question of when it will fail. You can tell your significant other that this is "cheap insurance" against being stuck on the side of the highway. Story from our BMW Brand Manager: After a track event, my plastic expansion tank blew up on a three hour commute home - my wife was not happy sitting on the side of the highway waiting for a tow. I am certain that she would have been much happier if I installed the Turner aluminum expansion tank before the event.

Upgrade your E46 driving experience by adding induction noises and increased air flow.

Our ECS Tuning Rear Stress Bar Kit stiffens the chassis in the rear of your MK5/6 in the area most prone to chassis flex during hard cornering or changes in road surfaces. Our Stress Bar helps to stiffen the rear chassis from undesired torsional flexing of the body which allows for faster turn-in speed and flatter cornering, while reducing chassis creaks and groans. Our Rear Stress Bar Kit achieves all of these great benefits while maintaining functionality with the rear seatbacks in all positions, & no noticeable increase in NVH.

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.
