A known weakness with the 2.0T engine, the factory diverter valve diaphragm has a tendency to wear and crack under stock boost pressure levels. The rubber material chosen for the diaphragm cannot withstand consistent boost diversion, and certainly will not contain the added boost levels that accompanies performance modifications. GoFastBits has developed a solution that only attends to the problem itself - the weak valve mechanism - replacing it with an aluminum housing & brass piston - saving you the time and money of unnecessarily replacing the entire unit itself.

An elegant solution to vague and imprecise steering, performance control arms with poly bushings let you feel the road through your fingertips.

That's why we're offering control arm assemblies already fitted with poly bushings that tighten suspension feel, restore vehicle safety, and last many miles longer than stock bushings.

An unfortunate consequence of the modern closed PCV/breather system is the unintended ingestion of oil vapor and carbon into the intake tract. This lowers the octane rating and leaves harmful deposits on a vehicle's intake valves and ports that result in decreased power.

This design also catches as much blow-by gas as possible, bringing carbon buildup to an absolute minimum.

These perform and look great within any engine bay, they are made to last longer than standard rubber hoses and are perfectly molded to the OE hose specifications for a simple installation on most vehicles.
