It's common tuner wisdom that increasing airflow & reducing exhaust restrictions increases an engine's ability to make power. Of course, more available air only translates to increased power output when an engine's ECU adjusts to this new condition by adding more fuel to the mixture. The importance of a superior-performing fuel pump should be obvious - the majority of power modifications place extra demands on this part, posing the risk of fuel cutouts or fuel pump failure. With the Autotech Hi-Volume Fuel Pump Upgrade, the sky is the limit, offering up to 50% more fuel flow.

ECS offers replacement Tire Pressure Sensors, sold individually or as a set of four. After installation, simply navigate to the TPM screen to clear the light from your dash.
