Our engineers are constantly pushing the boundaries, developing innovative R&D solutions to problems often overlooked by the factory.

The ECS Tuning Fabricated Aluminum Intake Manifold for the EA888 Gen3 engine provides even air flow distribution to all four cylinders due to its 53% larger plenum volume over the stock manifold, parabolic velocity stacks, and reconfigured plenum geometry. If you've upgraded to a larger turbo and you're looking to take your build to the next level, the ECS Aluminum Intake Manifold is for you! This is the perfect foundation for balanced airflow and will increase top-end charge to maximize your engine's efficiency.

The ECS Tuning MK7 & MK7.5 GTI / R Functional Aerodynamic exterior upgrades combine function, form and aesthetics to provide an increase in downforce to the frontend to maximize cornering grip. To design our ECS Aero we started by 3D scanning all MK7 platforms. Then a 3D model of the full car was created in CAD utilizing our scan data. To further develop and tune our diffuser we utilized CFD analysis to find the best possible balance between downforce and drag, while minimizing flow separation. This results in more consistent splitter performance across a wide range of conditions, ride heights and suspension setups. Meticulously designed to provide maximum downforce with minimal drag and minimize weight.

Due to low-quality steel construction, rusted transmission fluid pans are commonplace on any DQ250-equipped Volkswagen or Audi . After years of exposure to dirt, water, and road salt, the thin metal that keeps the DSG fluid inside the transmission will begin to leak due to porosity caused by corrosion. Additionally, due to its flimsy stamped steel construction, the factory pan is likely to bend upon removal, requiring complete replacement as a result. Avoid these potentially catastrophic issues by replacing your transmission pan with a high-quality stainless steel version from ECS Tuning!
