Engine dampers are essential when building high horsepower and high revving motors. Up until now no one has made an effective damper for the Volkswagen/Audi 1.8 TSI & 2.0 TSI (EA888) platform.
Benefits:
- Decreased engine vibration. No more flywheels, crank trigger wheels, or timing gears falling off of the crankshaft.
- Decreased "Clutch/Gear Box Chatter" which is caused by lightweight single mass flywheels.
- Reduction in RPM drops when shifting in a competitive environment.
- Gains of 3-10whp and 5-13 ft/lbs. of torque depending on your current setup.
- An overall more efficient and reliable engine.
