What specifies the performance of a sport suspension? Is it only the combination of shorter springs, harder shock absorbers and lowering the car body? “Using the right parts is of course extremely important,” says Christian Abt. Among other things, the experienced racing-pro is responsible for the field “suspension” at Abt Sportsline - and this is much more complex than the list of its components suggests: “The choice of shock absorbers plays a decisive role as they dampen the vehicle on uneven ground. This can only work when springs and spring rate correspond to the shock absorbers - only then all components can interact successfully.” Therefore the ABT engineers always work on their optimization and improvement to increase driving dynamics.

“Such a breath of fresh air knowing your turbo boost pipes will never blow off again”…Every now and then you flick through a magazine finding a new product or idea that’s so good you wonder why you’d not thought of it yourself. Prolock is one of those really neat ideas that works, many professional race teams, track day enthusiasts all suffer from the annoying problem of hoses blowing off every time you put the pedal to the metal. 
Would you ever run a marathon breathing out of a small paper bag? So why ask your engine to rev all the way to redline breathing through the restrictive factory airbox? The plastic factory airbox is good at muffling intake noise and enhancing low rpm/low speed engine performance, but becomes very restrictive when the engine is operating in the higher rpm range – where most performance drivers need it. 
The newest development from Motoren Technik Mayer GmbH once again places more emphasis on results versus mere appearances. The engine specialist from Wettstetten, Germany offers its newly developed MTM M-Cantronic, as an alternative to the new programming of the original engine control unit, enticing better performance and torque out of Volkswagen’s current diesel engines. 
After 15 years of serving the VW/Audi performance market, HPA Motorsports has partnered with Shade Tree Software to develop an exciting and versatile diagnostics brand for the Volkswagen/Audi community. Experts at high speed road testing, and looking to continue a campaign of customer support to bridge the gap between the workshop and client, HPA recognized that the portability and power within the small Palm device did exactly that. 
As horsepower levels increase, so must the car’s braking ability. Even with the standard engine, spirited driving can often tax the limits of the original brakes on your car. This can be a dangerous problem if not addressed. And as far as serious driving in a modified car is concerned, you’ll soon find yourself easily outdistancing your stopping power. Autotech’s brake conversion kits are designed to give your VW the edge in performance driving. 
The concept of the cold-air intake is nothing new for the aftermarket tuner. Consider the internal combustion engine as a simple air pump; air is drawn in through the intake, burned with fuel and then pumped out through the exhaust. By simply reducing the restriction of air drawn into of the pump will increase the pumps overall efficiency, producing more power. 
Exedy Racing clutches with organic friction materials use only premium friction materials that are resistant to slippage and burst. Increased clamp loads give the necessary capacity to handle modified engines. This is the perfect choice for naturally aspirated street and light horsepower track cars.
