The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system used on the VW 1.8T engine is critical to proper engine operation. Worn hoses may crack and leak gases due to extended exposure to high temperatures, oftentimes triggering a check engine light. If you're considering replacing any PCV hose, the wisest solution is a complete Silicone PCV Hose Kit, engineered by ECS for superior durability & longevity. The 3-ply fiberglass core silicone design resists heat and chemical degradation far better than the OEM rubber system, while stainless steel smooth-band hose clamps guarantee fitment.

Make sure your plugs are firing at voltage levels that ensure optimal combustion and peak performance. If your old coils or plugs are tired and unable to do the job, an ignition service kit from ECS Tuning will put some zap in the gap when you need it most. ECS assembled and genuine Porsche Ignition Service Kits are easy to install and come with everything you need to maintain adequate voltage levels to get the most from each and every power stroke.

The strut tower for the MINI Cooper was designed to adequately support the stresses and forces encountered during typical daily driving. Aging models or vehicles that are routinely pushed past the limitations of the chassis oftentimes experience strut tower deformation, compromising the crisp and responsive handling that defines every MINI. Machined from 15mm thick 6061-T6 aluminum, ECS Strut Tower Plate Kits eliminate the prospect of tower mushrooming while improving chassis rigidity.

Guesswork is expensive. It leads to costly repair errors that compromise vehicle safety. Talented pro-sumer or repair professional, you need accurate vehicle data and specifications. That's why ECS is happy to offer an entire inventory of Bentley manuals, a reliable, respected source of repair data for many European vehicles. This comprehensive source of info on your Mercedes-Benz has been carefully edited and illustrated. A worthwhile investment.

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation system on your Audi A5 is integral to the 2.0T engine's ability to manage blow-by gasses and maintain emissions control. The two-stage pressure relief valve channels air to the intake manifold and turbocharger while separating oil from the system. Symptoms of a problematic PCV system are rough idling, misfires, and general poor performance. ECS has assembled a complete PCV refresh kit for your Audi, including a PCV breather tube, Pressure Relief Valve, and new gaskets and hardware.

One of the obvious benefits to owning a turbocharged car is the ability to realize significant power gains simply by altering boost pressure. AFE has gained a deep understanding of airflow engineering through their experience manufacturing premium air filter elements and air intake systems. Their latest release, the Scorcher Power Module for the BMW E82/83 135i, is the ultimate expression of the company's mastery of air induction science. Using clever alterations in boost pressure sensor inputs and outputs, the resultant PSI increase adds a reliable 40hp and 80lb/ft torque.
