If you're experiencing electrical issues, hard starting, or flaky charging, your engine ground strap is a likely culprit. The engine ground strap is a thin, non-insulated cable that spans from the left engine mount arm to the frame horn. Despite the seemingly ordinary nature of this part, on aging chassis, it is known to cause massive headaches. Due to its non-insulated design, years of exposure to water, dirt, and road salt will cause the wire to corrode, ultimately leading to complete failure. A break in this cable will cause an open circuit, resulting in issues with the vehicle's electrical system and potentially leading to a no-start condition. To solve this issue, we've engineered an exact-fit, upgraded ground strap for your E9X BMW! Unlike its OEM counterpart, our design features insulated, large-gauge copper wire for dependable conductivity and long-lasting durability. Additionally, factory-style lugs are zinc-coated, crimped, and soldered, ensuring protection against corrosion and oxidation. Whether you're replacing a visibly corroded strap or proactively preventing failure, our in-house engineered solution is sure to provide lasting performance and protection.

With this kit you ditch the factory Air to Water setup for an Air to Air design that drastically decreases intake air temps and keeps them down pull after pull. Instead of hot coolant being circulated though the air to water cooler in the engine bay you get a front mounted intercooler, FMIC, that is constantly getting cooled by air flow though the grill and is completely isolated from the engine compartment making it more resistant to heat soak. The Engineering team at ECS Tuning has spent countless hours in the development of the exclusive C7 / C7.5 S6 Air To Air Intercooler Kit. This Air To Air kit is a culmination of almost 3 years of research and development, multiple rounds of prototypes and revisions, rigorous real world testing, and verified the performance gains on our in-house chassis dyno. The end result of all of this effort is an intake system that combines unrivaled beauty, fitment, quality and performance in one stunning package that will make a statement on your C7 / C7.5 S6.

The 6-speed Getrag 420G transmission, found in the European E36 M3 Evolution and E46 M3, has become an increasingly popular swap amongst E36 owners. Its increased strength, longevity, and overdrive sixth gear make it a great choice for both track cars and daily drivers. Unfortunately, many of the components needed to complete this transplant have become hard to source. Despite increased demand from enthusiasts, BMW has blocked the sale of European E36 M3 parts into North America. Turner's team of BMW enthusiasts and engineers recognized this and set out to develop a replacement for the unavailable, 420G-specific transmission crossbrace. Initial investigation revealed that the factory cast aluminum construction was failure-prone, so durable 5GA 1018 steel was chosen to provide a lasting upgrade. The final product is finished in a brilliant silver powder coat to resist corrosion and maximize appearance. Despite being much stronger than the factory crossmember, Turner's design is dimensionally identical, ensuring a perfect fit with your six-speed swap.

This high-performance kit includes quality, race-inspired braking components, delivering track-ready performance and precision stopping directly to your vehicle. Each part is designed and tested in-house at ECS Tuning to ensure quality, reliability, and compatibility with your application. At the heart of our kit are massive ECS 18Z 6-piston front brake calipers, which provide exceptional clamping force for consistent, fade-free braking. These calipers work in tandem with large 2-piece floating rotors, which reduce stress on the rotor hat while allowing the friction surface to expand independently under heat. This floating design improves braking leverage and ensures that your rotors maintain optimal performance even under heavy, repeated stops on the street or track. Additionally, our proprietary rotors are cross-drilled and slotted, giving you the perfect balance of durability, performance, and cooling. The slotted surfaces provide improved bite and consistent stopping power, while the cross-drilled pattern allows heat and gases generated during braking to escape, reducing the risk of fade and extending rotor life. Complementing the rotors are ECS EP24 "Enthusiast Performance" brake pads, formulated to deliver aggressive stopping power, smooth engagement, and reliable performance in all conditions.

The turbocharger oil supply line is one of the most common failures on N14/N18-equipped R5X MINIs. This line plays a crucial role in delivering pressurized engine oil to the turbocharger's center housing (CHRA), keeping its bearings cooled and lubricated. The turbocharger oil feed line sits very close to the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter. Over time, extreme heat causes the oil inside the line to solidify or "coke", resulting in a permanent restriction of oil delivery. While MINI attempted to fix this issue by retrofitting a supply line heat shield to N14-equipped cars, the problem continues to plague MINI owners. Additionally, the associated banjo bolts feature copper crush washers that are prone to heat-induced warping, causing a severe oil leak. To solve these issues, we've designed a high-performance replacement for the factory turbocharger oil feed line (11657534454). Constructed from high-quality stainless steel braided AN hose, our design ensures safe and reliable oil delivery to your turbocharger. Unlike the factory line, this upgraded hose features a PTFE lining for superior chemical and temperature resistance. Black zinc-plated fittings and banjo bolts prevent corrosion, ensuring a lasting, leak-free installation.

Crafted for a direct bolt-on fit on the TDI-equipped MK6 Jetta, Golf, & JSW, this heat shield is finished in a durable wrinkle black powder coat that resists corrosion while adding a clean and performance-inspired aesthetic under the hood. Not only does the heat shield look good, it also does a fantastic job of minimizing heat intrusion. This provides colder, more stable IATs (intake air temperatures), feeding your engine cooler air for more power. Inside the heat shield, you�ll find a massive 3� dual-cone high-flow air filter designed for maximum intake surface area and airflow efficiency. Our conical filter design doesn't just improve filtration�it significantly enhances the induction acoustics, delivering a bold and satisfying sound every time you accelerate.

This is my dream build and pending big turbo. I had a 13 Golf R prior in my life and had to get rid of it. Now I am in a place where Im fortunate enough to have and build this car. ECS tuning has been my go to for a majority of my parts. Absolutely love the customer service and quality.

I bought my 2022 GTI in 2022 after hearing this was the last generation of a gas powered GTI. I met my wife in the early 2000s when we were both driving a 2004 black VW Jettas. We have been together ever since and always had a fondness for VW having owned 7 between the two of us. With the nostalgia and desire to have a new GTI I purchased the MK8. Sadly, the 240hp stock wasnt enough and with that I started building as parts became available. Currently making 390hp and 417lbs torque.

The year is 2007, Ive just received a freshly smashed hood on my immaculate 92 Acura Integra from a humble Toyota Tacoma reverser experiencing concentration difficulties. This unfortunate event happened at the same random gas station in Lovingston, VA, that later I will, while clearly experiencing concentration difficulties myself, smash the quarter panel of the same car at a gas pump. So long refreshed Teg with that shiny carbon fiber hood upgrade and new lights. Sneaky gas pump bollards are a real PITA. All of this will happen while trying to visit my now wife located 5 hours from my hometown, Ocean City, MD. Fast forward, we got hitched, and she is on it with insurance and manages to work a song to get $1,900 for repairs. Later that week I walk into the my local Autozone that Im always being hassled and offered cash deals by the same kid for the keys to my car. I scoff and finally tell him $2,000 will land my keys in his hand. He jumps on it and the deal is done later that evening. Its now 2010 and my wife (the VW enthusiast) has been talking up MKIV R32s like its her job, as if buying one would even be possible. She tells me she found one in Florida, original owner, 60s and retired, 20,000 miles, $18,500 cash takes it. She has also somehow worked a deal but we have to leave the very same night and make the 14 hour trip or else the other three prospective buyers get it. She has also told her sister 2 hours away, who is already packing, to come with us. Obviously, I do the right thing, and agree its game on. Duh. Fast>fast> forward and after many car show wins, fun events, and years of decay, the ole girl is no longer that classic shiny tornado red, but now a dull tornado, uhm, well, pink. Its just pink. Clear-coat failure is a curse. We jointly decided that our 2024 wedding anniversary would be a gift to each other - To resurrect the hottest lil hatch ever to be built.

When adding performance modifications to your TSI-equipped Volkswagen, you need a way to put the power to the ground. In tuned applications, increased torque demand often proves too much for the weak factory pressure plate, resulting in a slipping clutch unable to transfer torque efficiently. While clutch upgrades have become commonplace in the aftermarket, many include a single-mass, lightweight flywheel and sprung clutch hub - a drastic change from the OE dual-mass, unsprung setup. This setup is known to produce audible chatter from the transmission due to the decreased dampening provided by the single-mass flywheel - an undesirable solution for your daily-driven build. Thankfully, our engineers have bridged the gap with an all-new stock-architecture upgrade. Keep your OE dual-mass flywheel while increasing torque holding capability! Our 2.0T TSI Stage 2 Performance Clutch Kit is engineered to hold increased torque reliably, and features specifically-selected components to ensure optimal performance while maintaining drivability. Like the OE clutch disc, our performance upgrade features an unsprung hub, designed to be used with a dual-mass flywheel. However, the similarities end here. The disc's friction material composition was carefully engineered to increase grip, heat dissipation, and longevity. Despite this massive increase in power-holding capability, its full-faced nature ensures smooth engagement and comfortable drivability. Additionally, our engineers chose to increase the pressure plate's clamping load, ensuring this clutch will not slip in tuned applications.
