The primary concern for your drivetrain when making significant power additions to your vehicle is premature wear or failure of your clutch - your factory clutch was designed within tolerances that added power simply surpass. ECS tuning has developed an outstanding, perfectly-matched Flywheel and Clutch Kit that not only staves off premature clutch wear but reduces flywheel weight for improved acceleration and throttle response.

One of the most popular initial modifications made by enthusiasts is fitting a less restrictive and more effective intake system to their car. For your VW or Audi, the best places to start are the Carbon Fiber ECS Kohlefaser and Luft-Technik Induction Systems. Designed and engineered in-house for impeccable fitment, quality, and aesthetic appeal, these intakes are more than just extra HP; they are a stylish addition to both the driving experience and the visual appearance of your engine bay. Making your VW or Audi more fun and more powerful is easier than you think with ECS.

Turn your VW or Audi turbocharged engine into a head-turning, exhilarating driving experience with our In-House designed and engineered Atmospheric Diverter Valve Spacer! Our ECS DV Spacer unleashes your turbocharger's compressed air into the atmosphere, giving it the sound of a blow off valve (BOV), with every gear change and every boosted throttle close! Thanks to our strategically engineered vent slots you can boost on without worry of CEL (Check Engine Light). Meticulously engineered and tested by our expert R&D Team on various Gen3 TSI vehicles, we ensured you can have all the fun without the worry of a warning lamp on your dash.

From the factory, DCC-equipped vehicles rely on electronically controlled dampers that constantly communicate with the vehicle's control module. Removing the factory dampers without proper cancellation, as is common during coilover installation, results in persistent warning lights, fault codes, and limited drive mode functionality. Our Dynamic Chassis Control Canceller Kit is engineered to simulate the presence of factory dampers, restoring full vehicle functionality while giving you the flexibility to run your preferred suspension setup. Designed specifically for MK7, MK8, and 8Y chassis, this kit integrates directly into the factory harness no coding, splicing, or guesswork required.

Our engineers are constantly pushing the boundaries, developing innovative R&D solutions to problems often overlooked by the factory. From addressing minor annoyances to engineering fixes that can prevent catastrophic failures, our team dives deep to create effective upgrades. Many of these solutions involve replacing less durable plastic components with robust metal alternatives, ensuring lasting performance and peace of mind.

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.

If you're aiming for a big turbo build, the new ECS in-house designed 1.8T/2.0T Gen3 Fabricated Aluminum Intake Manifold kit is a key piece of the puzzle.
