It's common tuner wisdom that increasing airflow & reducing exhaust restrictions increases an engine's ability to make power. Of course, more available air only translates to increased power output when an engine's ECU adjusts to this new condition by adding more fuel to the mixture. The importance of a superior-performing fuel pump should be obvious - the majority of power modifications place extra demands on this part, posing the risk of fuel cutouts or fuel pump failure. With the Autotech Hi-Volume Fuel Pump Upgrade, the sky is the limit, offering up to 50% more fuel flow.

Monitor your engine's vital signs with the help of our ECS Tuning angled vent gauge pod. We've created an innovative way to install any 52mm gauge in your HVAC center air vent. Don't wait for low oil pressure, low system voltage, or high engine temps to leave you stranded, waiting for a ride and a big repair bill. Choose from multiple gauges to monitor your vitals such as our ECS Electronic Boost Gauge, VDO Mechanical Boost gauge or NewSouth Performance Gauges.

The MKV Jetta has always looked great with a lowered ride height - this model seems to fit a more aggressive stance better than most.

The kit contains everything to keep your project going - simply drill out the old thread, tap out the hole with the correct sized tap, and screw in a new insert with the installation tool.

When addressing a vehicle's braking system, it can be easy to overlook brake fluids.

ECS has in-house designed and engineered a much more sensible solution – The Street Shield Skid Plate features corrosion resistant, air-ventilated, 3/16” thick 5052 aluminum offering complete engine undercarriage protection.

Increasing manifold boost pressure on your MKV GTI FSI requires cramming oxygen molecules into the smallest space possible - the result is greater cylinder pressure, and more power. Unless fuel supply can keep up with these increased demands, all that extra air will only serve to lean-out the fuel mixture excessively. ECS offers a simple and highly effective solution - the genuine OEM Golf R Fuel Injector Kit. The convenient kit includes all four Golf R injectors, four one-time-use fuel injector radial compensation rings, injector o-rings, support washers, and support rings.
