We set out to design a lightweight, performance-minded single-mass flywheel for 07K-equipped MK5/MK6s! Our precision-engineered upgrade weighs in at only 16.4lbs for the MK5 and 14.5lbs fo the MK6.

Constructed from heat-sensitive plastic, your factory 1.8T fuel injector cups are prone to self-destruction. After years of constant exposure to engine heat, vibration, and chemical-laden fuel residue, cracks will form in the seat of the insert and create a multitude of issues. Boost and fuel leaks will eventually prompt a lean running condition, a rough idle, and multiple diagnostic trouble codes. With these issues in mind, our engineering team set out to create an everlasting, performance-minded replacement for the factory insert. The result is a precision-machined piece crafted from 6061-T6 billet aluminum a material selected for its excellent strength, durability, and overall resistance to fatigue. Unlike the brittle OE plastic inserts, our billet cups are built to last under extreme stress, ensuring your injectors remain perfectly seated and aligned at all times.

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!
