The VW 1.8T relies heavily on adequate boost to make its power. In fact, for this engine, most significant power gains are achieved by optimizing its turbocharging system - either by increasing boost pressure, or by limiting air flow restrictions. The all-new ECS-engineered Silicone Turbo Inlet hose addresses the latter, increasing air flow with a higher-volume, 3-ply silicone design. The carefully selected silicone material is also more flexible than the factory rubber, reducing vibrations that cause premature wear, while retaining a high level of heat resistance.

The BMW N54/N55 engine is highly responsive to performance upgrades, particularly those that maximize the effectiveness of its advanced turbocharging system. Two blow-off valve kits enhance boost pressure stability while more quickly releasing unwanted boost into the atmosphere. An ECS-engineered and Synapse kit are available, both including an atmospheric vent blow off valve, black anodized intake tube with machined flange, durable silicone hose coupler, block-off caps for the stock diverter valve recirculation, and all required clamps and hardware to complete the project.

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve on your Mercedes-Benz engine is a device which is used to help reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by recirculating a portion of the engines exhaust gas back into the intake manifold to be re-burned. ECS Tuning's EGR valve master kit offers everything you need to get your EGR system functioning properly again, and keep your engine running at its best for years to come.

Bigger isn't always better--except when it is! ECS Tuning Big Brake Kits mate OEM caliper carriers to large diameter rotors for a kit that won't quit when stopping really matters. Let our Big Brake Kits give your original calipers the upper hand. The S4 OE carriers move them further from the spindle centerline for added leverage, making room for 345mm diameter rotors (up from 320mm). Large rotors plus added leverage equal superior braking authority.

Reduce weight. Reduce heat. Reduce warping. 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 reduction of unsprung weight improves handling characteristics under all situations. This reduction in rotational inertia allows for quicker acceleration, decreased braking distances, and more responsive handling.

The road is filled with hazards, lying in wait, ready to pounce. Rocks. Cans. Bottles. And some mystery thingy that just dropped off the dump truck ahead of you. Don't let your 3 Series suffer from some crash-in-the-pan piece of debris. Replace your tattered or missing belly pan with a new one and keep harmful hazards, road salt, and debris at bay. This direct-fit panel bolts in place using the factory attachment points, and comes with fresh hardware for a secure, lasting installation.

If you know your BMW shows a yellow light on startup, the (likely) original oil level sensor has ceased to output a reliable signal to the DME. Previously, BMW drivers would ignore the annoying yellow light, as the stock replacement sensor was prohibitively priced.

Don't stare at that light another day.

Lines, pads, and rotors give a great brake feel and bold braking performance, cold or hot. Our online photo tutorial shows how to do this fun project yourself, for pure personal satisfaction and lots of "likes" from friends.

If you're beginning to notice oil drips on the ground, a burning oil smell or smoke from underneath the hood, a leaking valve cover gasket or camshaft tensioner gasket may be the culprit. A common gasket to leak on VAG engines, the valve cover gasket is nothing to ignore. Don't forget to always replace the camshaft tensioner gasket at the same time as these are also prone to leaking.

The knurled, non-slip handle has a drilled hole so you can hang it on a pegboard hook in your garage. Better still, order two: one for your garage and another for the emergency tool kit in your trunk.
