TDI Performance Chip Package

November 18, 2007

A lot of our clients ask us what options they have when it comes to TDI Performance.  The thing that a lot of people dont know is that the options for diesel performance are usually the same whether it is VW TDI, Cummins, Duramax, Powerstroke or John Deere Tractor, to a certain extent at least.  The one performance mod that pretty much all electronically injected diesels share is the ability to be “chipped”.  TDI’s are no different, although there are a few different options the most popular tdi performance chip is the van aaken smartbox.  The thing that makes it the most popular is the fact that it installs in just ten minutes.  We have now combined the power and the benefits of the smartbox with the van aaken injector nozzles in a package we like to call the Van Aaken Power pack.  With these two tdi performance mods combined you are able to gain up to 50+ hp above stock, which might not sound like a lot but if you consider the fact that the TDI starts off with only 90hp I would say thats an incredible gain.

What Will Save Powerstroke Performance?

October 11, 2007

With the Van aaken C5 going into mass production in the not to distant future and custom tuning software following shortly thereafter the question on a lot of peoples minds is, “Is this just going to leave the Powerstroke even further in the dust?”  As much as you blue oval drivers out there would like to deny it, a custom tuned Cummins is going to be one more nail in the Powerstroke coffin when it comes to head to head competition.  If you have any input/rebuttals let me know.
