Thread: Plug in Power Upgrades

Plug-in, use, un-plug, use. Some have an initial start-up routine (30s with ign on, 30s on idle, or similar), some don't bother.

Pretty simple

Cheers,

Baz, think of them kind of like a Power Commander on a bike...

The intercept and feed a modified signal.

Most only modify injector timing, some up rail pressure to push more in.

IME they aren't a good solution, only mediocre.

Everyone I've spoke to(In Australia) can't garrantee that a re-map will work on my model D4(Bosch ECU) so when the warranty runs out, was looking at another option, I'm not looking to drag off a 3.0l D4, just looking for a little extra when towing.

I'd be happy with mediocre

Other options are a larger intercooler and new exhaust(old one is crushed in places)

Buy another ECU, load your car onto it and then send it to BAS

Or Superchips guy will bench map yours and then apply a new map with a bluefin unit with which you can change the map back to OEM if you like or they can give you different maps.

Yes they can - but it is traceable; something to keep in mind.

Yes the Bosch system is a pain.
The only way to make sure is to get another ECU for your map and swap original back.

Yes I have heard this, and why I was asking about the plug in maps, I figured when the car runs out of warranty, I'd try one if they worked on the Bosch ECU.
