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

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

Spacers for your racer. ECS Tuning lets you tweak your stance - or swagger down the road with a 20mm monster offset. Engineered and tested in-house to fit your VW perfectly. Choose from our huge inventory of hub centric spacers in thicknesses sure to match your car, your wheels, and your shopping budget. All ECS VW 5x112 spacers are aluminum, and are black anodized for corrosion protection. Kits come with correct-length black lug bolts for a complete package.

Most new performance cars could use a more athletic, performance-purposed wheel fitment. Not only does widening a car's track width decrease body roll through turns & make better use of available grip, but the new uninterrupted line from the wheel arch to the tire makes for a cleaner rear & front profile. ECS Flush Kits include the most cleverly engineered, highest quality spacers available, specifically matched to your R32's styling and performance needs.

The art of achieving the ideal wheel fitment usually entails extensive research, trial and error, and the occasional costly mistake along the way. Suspension adjustments and wheel offset alterations can be highly challenging to match correctly, especially when that perfect look is the ultimate goal. The simplest and most effective solution comes from ECS Tuning in the form of the clever StanceEnhance options - a pre-assembled, ideal combination of springs and spacers that guarantee not only that ideal stance but also a pleasant improvement in handling dynamics and road-holding.

Additionally, the clamps offer a temporary seal, meaning you will not compromise any lines for later use. Address all common hard lines, including fuel lines, brake lines, and banjo connections.
