Check these out: we have OE diverter valves for your 1.8T or 2.7T Audi. Keep your boost inside the intake where it belongs, and cure common driveability concerns with this stronger, more durable VW/Audi valve, suitable for stock or mildly tuned cars. Diverter valves live in a tough neighborhood. By definition, they limit turbo boost, and most eventually fail due to a pin hole or tear in the valve diphragm. Symptoms vary, but commonly include rough idle, a loss of power, or an illuminated check engine light. Easy to install, you'll need one sooner or later, so be prepared.

Many E46 coupes have logged a ton of miles by now, and most have road-weary suspension dampers. KONI struts and shocks are always a favorite replacement choice for enthusiasts, since they add a blend of sporty handling and comfort that is unavailable in stock-shocks tuned to match OE ride quality. KONI fine tunes their shocks and struts by application, refusing to take a "one-size-fits-all" approach used by lesser manufacturers. Available with adjustable or preset damping, KONI shocks and struts are a durable performance choice for both stock and lowered cars.
