AFE Stage 2 SI Cold Air Intake Install Video: 2008 Ford 6.4L Powerstroke

Parleys Diesel Performance carries all the top brands of Diesel Intakes and diesel air filters like those from Advanced Flow Engineering, or AFE as they are commonly called.  Over the past few years AFE diesel intakes have become recognized as some of the best cold air intakes available.   Many AFE cold air intakes have an open or exposed filter element, but for certain vehicle applications AFE has designed an intake system with a fully enclosed filter.  A good example would be the sealed Ford diesel cold air intake  for the 6.4L Powerstroke trucks built from 2008 through 2010.

AFE’s Stage 2 Si ( sealed intake) for the 6.4L Powerstroke shows signficant improvements in airflow and real power increases.  Dyno testing of the AFE Stage 2 Intake shows gains of 28 Horsepower and 54 ft. lbs. of Torque at 2000 RPM.  That’s a pretty significant increase in power to a truck that already makes big numbers from just adding a cold air intake system.  The increase in airflow is also improved by 41% over the stock airbox, pushing an additional 65 CFM (stock is about 160 CFM).

The AFE Stage 2 Si intakes also help maintain a factory appearance by utilizing a fully sealed commercial grade air box that replaces the entire OEM air box.  Part of what makes this particular Stage 2 Si unit so effective is the use of a built in ram-air scoop which forces more cold air into the filter area.  And last but not least, like with all true diesel performance intakes, adding a large, conical filter with pleated ridges increases the surface area of the filter, allowing for more air to be filtered more quickly.

Dr. Performance Is Out Of Business – Now What?

Because we still get phone calls every day asking for information about Dr. Performance power modules, we wanted to let you know that they went out of business in the summer of 2011.  Questions we are most often asked include “How do I get warranty work on my Dr. Performance module that I bought a few years ago?” and “Do you know how we can get in contact with Dr. Performance?”  The unfortunate truth is that they are completely out of business, haven’t answered their phone in almost six months, and any repair work on a damaged or faulty Dr. Performance module at this point is impossible.

The most frequent question we hear from customers interested in a diesel performance module next is “Since Dr. Performance modules aren’t available, are there any other manufacturers of diesel power modules?”  Thankfully we can answer in the affirmative that there are several companies that make diesel performance modules that have the same beneficial characteristics that Dr. Performance modules had.  Some of the reasons Dr. Performance modules were so popular included improved power without increased operating temperature, they were great for towing, and they gave substantial diesel fuel mileage improvements.   They were also widely used as a trustworthy pressure box by diesel owners who wanted to “stack chips.” It didn’t hurt that the majority of them didn’t leave a footprint in the vehicle’s ECM because they were simply rail pressure boxes that uninstall quickly and cleanly from the rail pressure sensor harness.

Depending on the diesel truck you drive, we recommend a power module from two different manufacturers.  If you’re looking for improved 6.4L Ford Powerstroke performance, we really like the TS Performance Power Play MP-8.  On the 6.4L Powerstroke, the MP-8 is a fuel pressure only power module that adds up to 100 Horsepower and installs in just minutes by plugging in to a 15 pin fuel sensor connector.   Just like the Dr. Performance module, the Power Play MP-8 doesn’t increase your diesel exhaust temperatures and most users report gains of 2-4 mpg in fuel economy.

TS Performance Power Play MP-8

For common rail owners looking for improved Cummins diesel performance or a Duramax diesel power module, the Digi CRBB Power Module from DieselPower has quickly become our favorite choice here at Parleys Diesel Performance.  Backed by an unheard-of 3 year manufacturer warranty and built from some of the best electronic components available, the DieselPower Digi CRBB is easy to install, doesn’t leave a “footprint” in the truck’s computer, can be adjusted quickly to any desired power level, and adds a decent amount of horsepower.

DieselPower Digi CRBB Common Rail Pressure Box

Because the Digi CRBB is a fuel rail pressure module it can be “stacked” with a Smarty programmer on the Dodge Ram Cummins diesels yielding loads of power that you almost have to feel to believe.  Operating temperatures are kept down, and if you don’t drive the truck like you stole it fuel economy can be improved significantly.    The Digi CRBB is also effective for “stacking chips” when using EFI-LIVE tuning on your Chevy or GMC Duramax diesel.  If you have any questions about these or other options for your diesel truck, call us and we’ll be happy to help.

2011 2.0L VW Jetta TDI Exhaust System Upgrade

We’re pleased to announce that AFE has released their stainless steel Catalytic Converter-Back exhaust system for the 2011 Jetta TDI.  AFE had previously made available the same style system for the 2011 Golf 2.0L TDI exhaust and all the early reviews on that system have been positive, so we expect good things for 2011 Jetta TDI owners who choose this system to upgrade their cars.

The exhaust note is a bit throatier than stock, and the dual 3 inch double-walled polished T-304 Stainless steel tips look really clean and aggressive.  The exhaust system is fully mandrel-bent as you would expect, and the hangers line up well for a good clean installation.

2011 Jetta TDI Exhaust System AFE49-46401

Many cat-back diesel exhaust systems don’t require any cutting of the stock pipes for installation, but this kit does.   It’s impossible to clear the rear axle when removing the OEM exhaust without making the cut.  We just wanted you to know.  If you’re interested in upgrading the performance of your 2011 Jetta TDI (including Sportwagens), we recommend pairing this TDI exhaust upgrade with AFE’s 2.0L Jetta TDI Intake system and a 2011 TDI Performance Module from Diesel Power.

One last note – this exhaust system is legal in all 50 U.S. states because it retains all of your emissions control equipment.

2011 VW Jetta & Golf TDI Performance Power Module

Good news!  2011 VW and Audi TDI owners can now take advantage of their diesel’s untapped performance potential by installing a new DieselPower brand tuning module.  With a proven  20 year track record of quality engineering and diesel tuning, DieselPower is a German tuning company that goes to great lengths to give diesel owners access to safe, useable power.

Their modules are made from high quality components.  The module itself is encased in a durable thick plastic box, and the electronics components inside are all aircraft grade.  The wiring harness and connectors are sturdy and built to last.  They  have so much confidence in their product quality that the TDI power module is backed by a full 3 year replacement warranty, the longest in the tuning industry.

Diesel Power Module for 2011 VW & Audi TDI

The 2011 TDI  performance module  adds more power and better fuel economy by making minor but effective changes to the high pressure common rail fuel system on your TDI.  Much of the fuel economy gain is picked up by the improved low end torque the module provides.   The Digi CR increases horsepower and torque by up to 25%, and fuel economy gains are averaging 3-4 mpg.   Installation is simple and will take approximately 15 minutes.

This module will work on these vehicles:

• 2011 VW Jetta 2.0L TDI
• 2011 VW Golf 2.0L TDI
• 2011 VW Toureg 3.0L TDI
• 2011 Audi A3 2.0L TDI
• 2011 Audi Q7 3.0L TDI

2011 VW Jetta & Golf TDI Performance Cold Air Intake Upgrade

We’re pleased to announce that Advanced Flow Engineering (AFE) has given the go ahead for their VW TDI performance cold air intake kit on the 2011 2.0L Jetta and Golf.  Advertised dyno results are showing an increase of 10 Horsepower at 3150 RPM and a nice torque increase of 23 foot lbs. at 3050 RPM.  This is the same cold air intake that we’ve had great success with over the past year and a half on the 2009 and 2010 2.0 Liter VW Jetta TDI.

This particular intake is what AFE calls their “Stage 2 Si” or “sealed intake.”  The sealed air box installs cleanly, looks sharp, and is quieter than an open box design diesel cold air intake.

AFE 2.0L VW Jetta & Golf TDI Intake 54-81711

Air flow is increased by a remarkable 56% over the stock air intake system.  Like most AFE intakes, this 2.0L TDI Cold Air Intake comes with your choice of filter media.  This kit comes with either their Pro Dry S filter or their Pro 5R.  The Pro Dry S is made from synthetic material.  100% washable and reusable, it doesn’t require oiling after cleaning, making it a highly convenient choice.  The Pro 5R is also washable and reusable, but the oiled cotton gauze requires oiling after each cleaning.  Flow rates for the Pro 5 R are slightly higher.

6.7L Ford Powerstroke DPF-Delete Tuner

H&S Performance has always provided great tuners with superior tunes.  With their dedication to diesel performance excellence, it comes as no surprise that they are the first company to provide a DPF-Delete tune for the 2011 6.7L Ford Powerstroke.

Along with the DPF-Delete software, the XRT Pro:

• Allows for removal of the EGR and UREA systems and ALL related sensors. Nothing needs to be plugged back in to your race exhaust!
• Makes an excellent non-dpf delete tuner also.
• Has 4 power levels to choose from:
  • DPF Present: 0HP, 40HP, 80HP, 120HP
  • DPF Removed: 0HP, 50HP, 100HP, 150HP
• Does NOT Shift-On-The-Fly. Takes 5 minutes to change between power levels

If you are using DPF/EGR/Urea removed tuning, the XRT Pro is considered a Race Only product — solely for competition use. Its use is limited to closed-course racing that is formally sanctioned by a recognized racing organization. Any other use, including recreational off-road use, could be in violation of local, state and federal laws. However, with the diesel particulate filter still intact, the XRT Pro is street legal and great for gains in horsepower, torque and fuel economy.  The DPF present tunes are designed to give power without clogging your particulate filter.
