Slotting also reduces glazing, meaning consistently increased overall stopping power. Our 5th generation slotted brake rotor also features a sleek black zinc coating for a clean, contemporary look as well as superior corrosion protection versus an uncoated or black oxide coated rotor. * Our V5 cross drilled and slotted rotor design offers even greater heat dissipation and improved wet-weather performance as compared with a slotted rotor, making it an ideal choice for high-performance driving enthusiasts. Our 5th generation slotted brake rotor also features a sleek black zinc coating for a clean, contemporary look as well as superior corrosion protection versus an uncoated or black oxide coated rotor.

New Turner xDrive Differential Brace Kit
The N55 and B58 are the new generation powerplant, if you want to put the power to the pavement the factory bushings and reinforcement just wont cut it. With soo many performance parts available for the N55 and B58 for F chassis, it is very easy to make power but keeping the car under control can be another story. Turner created a solution to help put that power to the ground, the result is a simple yet astounding improvement to the performance of your vehicle. The rear diff brace helps put power down by reducing wheel hop and preventing losses during power transfer. With the added rigidity the rear end feels tighter for high speed applications and will extend the life of your OE bushings. Soft factory rubber differential bushings absorb vibrations between the chassis and differential, providing comfort and softness for normal driving conditions. As these bushings wear you will experience lackluster performance/response and they will need to be replaced. You can extend the life of these bushings while providing increased chassis stability with the Turner Diff Brace for your F chassis. Add new poly differential bushings for an even better experience (ES4352457)

New ECS 8V RS3 2-Piece Rotors
ECS Tuning engineered 2-Piece semi-floating rotors offer real world benefits that can be felt on both the street and track! Our 2-Piece rotors combine the advantages of weight savings and rapid heat dissipation to provide a rotor superior to stock while preventing warping and extending component life. The 20% reduction of unsprung weight by (5.3 lbs per rotor) improves handling characteristics under all situations.

New Turner G42 M240i Aluminum Skid Plate
With new BMW engines like the S55, B58, and S58 that saw large power numbers, there is a dire need for cooling but no room in the engine bay. These cars have so much power packed under the hood to 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. On the G42 specifically there is a very small plastic piece to cover the oil cooler that offers next to zero protection from road debris and impacts. 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. The Turner skid plate weighs only a few pounds more than the plastic OE splash guard while providing an exponential amount of increased protection. This skid plate requires no modification and mounts using the existing factory hardware. To keep your oil cooler operating properly the skid plate utilizes smooth flared air-flow channels that allows the oil cooler to pick up cool air and disperse heat efficiently.
New ECS MK6 Jetta 1.4T Intake & Turbo Upgrades

Our Intake flows over 42% more airflow and gives your Jetta +8WHP/+15WTQ.

Turner Motorsport E46 M3 Bump Steer Correction kit allows the front outer tie rod end pivot to be relocated, which can be used to correct bump steer resulting from modified caster or lower arm geometry, making your E46 M3 easier to drive and lowering lap times. "Bump steer" is when the steering wheel turns itself when one wheel moves up or down in a turn. This commonly happens in the middle of a turn on a lowered E46. Excessive bump steer increases tire wear and makes the vehicle more difficult to handle on rough roads. Turner's Bump Steer Correction Kit includes multiple-size bump steer spacers for precise adjustment depending on your ride height to eliminate that problem. Not to mention these adjustable tie rods are Precision CNC machined making them INDESTRUCTIBLE. These will handle the abuse of racing and drifting.

Shirk's E46 M3 Build List
Ahh I finally found an E46 M3 after a multi-year hunt! Granted it was the cheapest, highest milage (192K) coupe with a true manual in the country but it was a great deal due to needing literally all the major maintenance. I picked this up as a COVID fire sale special where the guy needed to off load it for some quick cash. Immediately did subframe reinforcement, rod bearings, vanos and fluids all around before starting in on any modifications. It's true what they say... you either buy a 10-15K E46 M3 and put 15K into it or buy a 30K finished one right off the bat and enjoy it.
