New Performance Drivetrain Mount Kits by ECS Tuning Harness the Power of your MK4 Engine and Transmission through Advanced Design Methods and Materials

Extracting more power from your engine through airflow modifications and ECU tuning is exciting and rewarding – a quicker car offers a more engaging driving experience.

However, the most experienced enthusiasts have learned that an engine that is routinely pushed past the factory-specified stress and flex tolerances requires special accommodations in order to operate consistently at and past the limit.


Designed and manufactured in the USA using the most current design methods and materials, ECS Performance Drivetrain Mounts utilize a perfected polyurethane formula to deliver smooth power transfer through the driveline to the ground while minimizing chassis feedback. 


ECS MK4 Pendulum Mounts, Engine Mounts, and Transmission Mounts are machined from strong and lightweight 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum and then anodized black for corrosion resistance and a truly stunning appearance. 


The custom-machined Pendulum mount is a highlight of this latest ECS release. All-weather seals capture a teflon-lined spherical bearing that replaces the poorly designed factory bushing, eliminating front bushing deflection and premature failure. The required genuine Volkswagen torque-to-yield fasteners are also included with all ECS Drivetrain Mounts for a professional installation.


Accommodations have been made for a range of driving styles, from highly aggressive race-oriented to street performance. Special consideration has been made by the ECS R&D department to ensure that these impressive improvements in drivetrain solidarity and connectedness have not been made at the expense of practicality and comfort. The utlimate goal for this release was to create a more positive, responsive drivetrain while maintaining a reasonable level of daily-driving comfort that Volkswagen owners are accustomed to.

The modern closed PCV/Breather system is intended to recirculate combustion blow-by gases for cleaner operation and to reduce greenhouse gases. An unfortunate consequence of this 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 an inconsistent air/fuel ratio, lost cylinder pressure, and decreased power. 

By prototyping and testing multiple design iterations, ECS engineers gained a thorough understanding of the VW FSI and TSI engine’s PCV system. The final product represents the best integrated, most advanced oil catch can system on the market.

Engineered in-house and manufactured here in the USA, the ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can utilizes a highly efficient 4-chamber oil separator that significantly improves oil/air separation – decreasing oil ingestion and maintaining engine power output. The innovative design also catches as much blow-by gas as possible, bringing carbon buildup to an absolute minimum.  

Key benefits of the ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can System:
Highly Efficient Oil Separator (Catch Can):

• Strategically positioned 4 chamber baffle system maximizes oil / air separation
• Engineered to create multiple changes in the direction of airflow within the separator to cause oil droplets to fall out of suspension before exiting the catch can
• Knurled and black anodized integrated oil dipstick makes  inspecting oil  volume of reservoir clean and simple
• Fully serviceable for routine cleaning and maintenance; Includes 2.5mm Allen key to remove baffle plates for cleaning
• 6061-T6 billet aluminum parts, anodized black for lasting protection and appearance
• Easy to drain reservoir, simply unthreads from the oil separator for quick draining or cleaning
• Completely reversible installation, as no OEM components are permanently modified. This is ideal for those who choose to remove their catch can during the cold winter months
• All parts are pre-assembled and exact-fit, ready to install out of box

Each system includes the following:

• 4 Chamber Baffled Oil Catch Can with integrated dipstick and service tool
• CNC bent, black anodized, aluminum catch can bracket
• Black zinc OEM fasteners to secure the bracket to the right side engine mount
• -10AN black nylon braided hose
  
  •     Cut to exact length for perfect fitment — This alone make’s installation simple and out of the box ready
  •     -10AN black anodized ORB (O-Ring Boss) fittings are pre-installed on each hose for a direct fit install
  •     Oil and fuel resistant to chemical degradation

There it is. The last traffic light in town. You relish the smooth exhaust note as you downshift through the gears and come to a stop. But the game has changed. Nothing ahead of you now but a long stretch of twisty, winding roads. You turn off the radio. It’s time for a different kind of tune. One quick press of a button and that smooth exhaust note fluidly transitions into a low rumble. The kind of rumble that can only mean one thing: You’ve got a new ECS Tuning Valved Exhaust System on your car, and it’s open for business!


Just when you thought exhaust was exhaust, ECS Tuning has pulled into the lead. Introducing our new 3.0″ Stainless Steel, Mandrel Bent, Valved, High Flow Exhaust System. Completely designed and manufactured in the USA, it all started with a plan: Produce an affordable exhaust system with sound that matches your style, looks that stand out of the crowd, fit like a factory system, and performance that unleashes everything you’ve got.

Designed with a focus on improving performance while maintaining OEM fitment with the use of quality parts, the ECS Engineers were able to design these Boost Hose Kits to function and perform better than any other kit on the market. Attention to detail is never missed at ECS Tuning, and these kit are no exception.

ECS is proud to release their in house engineered High Flow Intercooler Charge Pipe Kit for TSI engines and their Charge Pipe Coupler Kit for FSI engines! The TSI Charge Pipe Kit comes standard with mandrel bent, wrinkle black powdercoated aluminum intercooler pipes, smooth flowing silicone couplers, MAP sensor hardware, stainless steel T-bolt clamps, CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum charge pipe adapters and new OEM O-rings.

The factory 2.0T TSI plastic charge pipes and rubber couplers were never designed to handle the stress and abuse of higher boost levels seen by tuned vehicles. When combined with power-robbing abrupt and sharp bends, inferior rubber material, and small diameter tubing, it’s easy to see why your intercooler pipes and couplers should be replaced.

The FSI Charge Pipe Coupler Kit comes with silicone, 4-ply reinforced couplers, stainless steel T-bolt clamps and CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum charge coupling adapters for an easy, direct fit replacement.

Capable of withstanding greater heat and higher boost pressure than stock, you can expect to achieve greater reliability, less turbulence and less restriction thanks to the larger diameter tubing and smooth silicone bends. Never worry about blowing couplers off of these tubes, as each tube is bead rolled and secured with stainless T-bolt clamps.

By improving airflow and reducing restrictions, gains can be had of up to 18 WHP and 19 ft-lbs TQ on the 2.0T TSI engine with the complete ECS Intercooler Charge Pipe Upgrade Kit!

The ECS dipstick handle is made from 6061-T6 billet aluminum for durable and dependable operation. Each handle arrives with pre-installed Viton O-ring(s) for maximum sealing capacity and oil / fuel resistance. Every ECS dipstick handle is available in 3 color choices, Black Anodized, Silver Anodized or Polished finish, all shipped for free*. 

Black Anodized 

​

Silver Anodized 

​

Polished 

​

Joining the oil level indicator to the dipstick handle is accomplished by a precisely measured, stainless steel wire rope that is crimped on either side to solidly lock the components in to place. To take this a step further, all dipsticks are pull-tested to ensure a rigid, crimped connection. Stainless steel shank balls are pre-crimped to the wire rope and help guide the dipstick within the dipstick tube and more closely mirror the OEM design function.

​

A billet machined, stainless steel oil level indicator makes checking your oil level as simple as your OEM dipstick. ECS designed the oil level indicator to match the factory oil level marks for simplicity and easy recognition of high and low fill marks. By machining the indicator as a “window” ECS found they were able to check the oil level with more precision as compared to other designs, as the oil level would typically be wiped away when pulled upwards and out from the dipstick tube. 

 

​

Engineered by car enthusiasts and manufactured in the U.S.A., you can expect nothing short of the best performance and longevity with the superior Billet Aluminum Oil Dipsticks from ECS Tuning!

With Volkswagen’s introduction of the MQB EA888 Gen3 1.8T/2.0T engine came multiple advancements in technology and production. Significant weight savings were accomplished through molded plastic parts throughout the powertrain; unfortunately, this included the engine’s oil pan. With no protection to cover such an important, yet fragile part, it’s easy to see why a plastic oil pan needs protection!

From the daily driver at stock height to the enthusiast with an aggressive suspension drop, the ECS Aluminum Street Shield adds peace of mind and protection against potholes, road debris and other predators looking to put a hole in your pan.

Constructed from 3/16″ (4.76mm) thick 5052 aluminum and weighing in at only 16.15 lbs, with factory modeled air ventilation, the ECS skid plate is sure to stand up to harsh road conditions that your OEM plastic belly pan could not.

Additionally, the ECS skid plate encompasses the full length of the engine undercarriage from the front bumper cover to the front engine subframe to provide complete protection. Conveniently this kit includes zinc-coated steel subframe hardware, aluminum skid plate spacers and all factory mounting hardware for easy installation and corrosion resistance.

Protection of your undercarriage and oil pan is vital. Between giant potholes, speed bumps and bumpy terrain your vehicle is exposed to a variety of impacts that can ruin your oil pan or other critical components. ECS knows this risk and is so excited about their new release that they’re extending a special introductory bundle offer to their customers to save up to 20% when purchasing with lowering springs for their MK7. Now you can go low, be protected, and save.

Engineered and manufactured in the USA, you can expect nothing but the best performance and longevity with the ECS Aluminum Street Shield Skid Plate Kit from ECS Tuning!

ECS 2-piece, semi-floating, slotted and cross drilled rotors are available. These rotors optimize the dispersion of heat, and feature lateral vibration dampening and considerable weight savings, for smooth, strong stops. Maximum weight savings over a standard one piece rotor are achieved due to the lightweight aluminum hat and 2 piece construction for a total reduction of 18.75 lbs combined for the fronts and 5.30 lbs combined for the rears, as compared to a standard one piece cast rotors.

With the ECS 345x30mm Front Big Brake Kit, the brake pad is moved further outboard from the center of the hub, thereby improving braking system torque, heat transfer and repeatable, high speed stopping. Compared to the original Golf’s 288x25mm or GTI’s 312x25mm brake rotors, it’s clear to see why the ECS BBK offers immediate improvements!

The ECS Rear Big Brake Kits convert the solid 272x10mm discs to ventilated 310x22mm discs for overall improved performance. To prevent brake pad deposits and reduce fade, ECS GEOMET® slotted or cross drilled and slotted rotors are available. Cross-drilling dissipates heat faster for better braking and reduced fade. Slotting cleans the pads by moving water, gasses, and contaminants away from the pad/rotor contact surface to further enhance braking performance.

To prevent rust pitting and corrosion damage, ECS GEOMET® rotors are sprayed with a special water-based solution, then heated to cure the coating and remove all oil residue remaining from the manufacturing process. These added steps create a durable, lasting rotor surface that resists road salt, solvents and other corrosives.

For 100% bolt on performance, ECS Exact Fit Stainless Steel brake lines have been custom fitted for each kit. Stainless reinforced brake lines provide more confident and dependable stopping by maintaining consistent brake pressure, long lasting corrosion resistance, and increased protection from failure compared to stock rubber lines.

ECS Tuning engineered 2-piece semi-floating rotors offer real world benefits that can be felt on both the street and track! Combining the advantages of weight savings and rapid heat dissipation to provide a rotor superior to stock while reducing braking temperatures and extending component life.

​
Reduce weight. Reduce heat. Go Faster. Stop Faster!

Weight savings are significant, reducing weight in the fronts by 22% (5.15 pounds per rotor) and the rears by 15% (2.65 pounds per rotor). The combined unsprung weight savings of 15.60 pounds allows for quicker acceleration, decreased braking distances, and more responsive handling.

To facilitate weight savings, each rotor ring is bolted to a lightweight aluminum hat made from high quality 6061-T6 aluminum, and hard anodized with an attractive matte black finish that is both durable and corrosion resistant.

​​
Conventional straight-veined or pillar-post rotors rely on an inefficient centrifuge-like effect to evacuate hot air from within the rotor. ECS 2-piece rotors feature curved, directional veins that accelerate air away from the rotor at a higher velocity, leading to consistent, rapid cooling.

These rotors are cross-drilled to promote cross ventilation for improved cooling as well as slotted to clean brake pads, carry away water and brake dust and to reduce rotor face temperatures to minimize brake pad gassing. Cleaner and cooler brake pads result in faster, more consistent stopping. Drilled holes are chamfered while slots are machined with a ball end mill – both to prevent cracking that may be present on improperly machined rotors.

The ECS 2-piece rotors have been subjected to thousands of miles of hard street use and to the elements (including snow and salt) for years. They have also been subjected to scientific brutal stress testing at the track, performing countless high speed stops in quick succession. ECS has measured stopping distances and elevated rotor temperatures of over 1,000*F for long sustained periods (to the point of rotor bluing and catching brake pads on fire), as well as subjecting rotors to careful post-test inspection for signs of irregular wear, warping, stress cracking, or any other signs of failure.
