ECS Tuning Releases Manifold Port and Throttle Body Boost Tap Kits For Gen3 1.8T/2.0T Engines

Volkswagen’s newly designed EA888 Gen3 engine operates in improved efficiency and power production as compared to previous generation engine platforms. However, with advanced technology, comes great obstacles in engine tuning and modifications. With the Gen3 engine’s closed vacuum system there was no easy method to tap into engine vacuum / boost pressure. The engineers at ECS Tuning went to the drawing board to derive to a great solution and overcome this complication.
During their product testing phase, the engineers at ECS found that other methods of acquiring a manifold signal, such as spacing the MAP / IAT sensor on top of the intake manifold, lead to skewed data being transmitted to the ECU. They found that intake air temperatures were reading lower (15-20° F at WOT), ignition timing was off (as much as -5°) and air /fuel ratio was richer (+1.0 point by 5,000 RPM). This directly translated into engine power dropping by as much as 6 WHP on an untuned vehicle!
In lieu of the MAP / IAT spacer, they came up with two expertly designed and tested boost tap options. This gives you two different methods to choose from based on your particular needs!
Throttle Body Boost Tap Kit
The ECS Billet Aluminum Throttle Body Boost Tap Kit conveniently adds two boost / vacuum ports to your Gen3 engine for any of your specific needs. Located between the intake manifold and throttle body, this location provides a strong pneumatic signal and allows for a completely reversible installation. If you’re looking for a clean, stealth-like install, that can easily be put back to original condition, look no further.

Manifold Port Boost Tap Kit
For an easy installation, ECS Tuning also designed their Intake Manifold Port Boost Tap Kit. This allows a clean, unobstructed installation in the unused, driver’s side manifold port. It offers up to three vacuum fittings to operate multiple pneumatic devices, such as a boost gauge, water meth switch or aftermarket blow off valve. The included puncture tool ensures clean, precise and risk-free piercing of your intake manifold. Through observations during product testing, ECS found no debris or loose material in the manifold after puncturing the intake with their kit.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Audi Teases the e-tron’s Headlights Ahead of LA Reveal

Audi will unveil its new electric car, the e-tron GT, in just a few short days, but until then, it will do what manufacturers can’t help but do and will tease it mercilessly. The latest teaser images first appeared on Germany’s Bild , and feature some of the EV’s lighting. While the taillights look reasonably familiar, albeit on an interesting, angular surface, the headlights feature a heretofore unseen light shape. The X-shape (or maybe an R-shape, from the right angle) in the middle of the e-tron GT’s headlights set it apart from the rest of the lineup, even the e-tron SUV (whose lights look R8-ish with their angular check-shaped top line.) #Sneak Peek: the #Audi #etron GT concept – stay tuned for the big #world #premiere on November 28. pic.twitter.com/NIg0z6bIwR — AUDI AG (@Audi_Press) November 25, 2018 The long and low sedan will be based on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan, which is said to hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and whose batteries will all be stowed...
