Why use wheel studs instead of wheel bolts? When removing and installing wheels that utilize the factory wheel bolts the process can be frustrating, holding the wheel up with your legs, lining up the holes, and threading the bolts all at the same time. Wheel studs also allow the use of varying length wheel spacers - a highly convenient feature for those that anticipate using different spacer size setups in the future. Installing and removing wheels is also made significantly easier, with each stud acting as a virtual wheel hangar.

Countdown to launch. All systems go. Engage. Before your next stop light liftoff, add a space age digital system monitor to your cockpit.

Then scroll through critical vehicle parameters and monitor battery voltage, system temperatures, 0-60 acceleration time, read and clear diagnostic codes, and other vital stats.

Misfires, poor idling, and general poor engine performance can be remedied with one of three kits.

No need for guesswork or complicated ordering of individual bulbs.

The symptoms are annoying. The costs can be painful. DISA valves control intake manifold runner length to improve engine performance at different rpm. When they fail, the DISA valve bangs around in its housing, making a rattling noise accompanied by rough idle and off-idle hesitation. If your BMW experiences these symptoms, don't wait to fix it. In some cases, parts of the DISA--including a metal spreader pin--can be sucked into your engine, causing serious engine damage. Easy to replace, your new DISA screws to the side of the intake and comes with pre-installed sealing gasket.

Now available for the MKVII Golf/GTI, this latest APR release is a simple, highly effective upgrade for your VW.

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.
