Popular Electronic Diesel Performance Upgrades

Diesel Performance Chips & Programmers

Why are Diesel Performance Chips, Modules, Programmers and Tuners so popular? For starters, they provide increased horsepower and torque. Every diesel owner loves having more freedom to pass and enhanced towing power. Most diesel performance chips also provide their users with another substantial benefit, increased diesel fuel mileage. Parleys Diesel Performance carries Diesel Performance Chips for every need from every major manufacturer in the industry. Whether you drive a turbo diesel pickup truck, diesel pusher RV or Volkswagen TDI, trust Parleys Diesel Performance to point you in the right direction when choosing a Diesel Performance Chip. As turbo diesel technology has evolved, diesel performance chips have evolved with them, and where ten years ago a diesel performance chip was literally a chip, today the meaning of the word chip has evolved also. Now a chip can be a diesel performance downloader, tuner, programmer, module or even just a good “old fashioned” chip. Let’s take a look at the basic differences between each of these diesel power upgrades.

Traditional diesel performance chips are just what they sound like. They look somewhat like an older computer video card or sound card, and are designed to plug directly into your diesel’s computer. Highly reliable, today’s chips are used mainly for Ford 7.3L Powerstroke-equipped diesel trucks and vans. They provide excellent gains in fuel economy, often between 2-4 more miles per gallon of diesel fuel. Horsepower gains are anywhere from 50 to 140 horsepower or more, and they definitely make a difference in drive-ability and towing performance. Diesel performance chips are also quite popular as a power upgrade for turbo diesel cars.

The words “diesel tuner,” “diesel downloader,” and “diesel programmer” are all used interchangeably too, although they can be quite different animals. Usually a diesel performance tuner does exactly what it sounds like – it can “tune” your vehicle. This means you are able to re-program on-board controllers and customize the parameters of your engine and transmission. The applications for a real tuner like the EFI-LIVE tuner for GM vehicles, for example, are almost limitless. Any changes or performance upgrades you make to your diesel vehicle can be compensated for using a tuner. Performance diesel enthusiasts are always making changes to their rides, and a tuner lets you factor in any performance upgrades and fine tune those enhancements to get the best results. Whether you’ve installed a new turbo or injectors, upgraded your injection or lift pump, or even if you’re running nitrous, using a tuner can help you get the most out of your investments in your performance diesel.

By far the most popular and widely used of all the diesel performance “chips,” diesel programmers or downloaders plug in to your vehicle’s diagnostic port and you download a pre-loaded “tune” or a “program” to your computer which tells it what to do. The reasons for diesel performance programmer’s popularity vary, but by far the main reason is their ease of use. You don’t have to be a tuning expert to take advantage of all the performance and economy gains your diesel can achieve using a programmer. Manufacturers like Banks, Edge Products, MADS Smarty, BullyDog, SCT, H&S Performance and SuperChips do all the custom tuning work for you and your particular diesel application, and within minutes you can turn your stock diesel into a screaming machine. Want better fuel economy? The engineers and tuners at companies like HyperTech, Quadzilla, Diablosport and PPE include tunes that are designed specifically to increase your miles per gallon. It’s pretty dang cool that you can make more power and save at the diesel pump, all with a simple programmer.

Modules are another type of diesel performance “chip” that is widely used in the diesel performance marketplace today. Rather than talk to your diesel’s computer via the diagnostic port, diesel performance modules typically install using in-line wiring harnesses into sensors near the engine itself. The results can be quite similar to a diesel performance programmer,with increases in torque and horsepower along with impressive fuel economy gains being the norm. Dr. Performance makes a complete line of diesel power modules, as does TS Performance. Particularly with common rail diesels, modules are prolific and there is a module for almost every application. Some product lines like the Diesel Power brand of modules, will work with almost every common rail diesel vehicle imaginable. Whether you drive a Class 8 for a living, need a module for a tractor or medium duty work truck, or want more performance out of your diesel Mercedes Benz or Volkswagen TDI, there is a diesel performance module for you.

Diesel Performance Boost Foolers

One of the most popular electronic diesel performance upgrades for the customers of Parleys Diesel Performance is a Boost Fooler. Their popularity is due to the fact that they are inexpensive, easy to install and highly effective. So what is a Boost Fooler and what do they do? Simply put, a Boost Fooler is an electronic device that allows you make more turbo boost without causing any engine computer error codes. Installation is quick and easy and is achieved with an in-line harness style installation. Boost Foolers are a highly effective diesel performance choice for those that tow heavy loads because they allow you to gain another 5 to 8 psi of boost, helping to cool your EGT’s. They are great performance upgrade even on stock diesel trucks. Just make sure that you don’t order a boost fooler if you already have a performance module like the Edge Juice with Attitude because the boost fooler hooks up to the same sensor as most power modules. If you’re not sure about the compatibility of a boost fooler with your performance module, Shoot us a quick email telling us what you have and we’ll let you know if a boost fooler is right for you. Increase the life of your engine by lowering your peak EGT’s and gain a small boost in power too with a Boost Fooler from Parleys Diesel Performance!

Diesel Performance Data Monitors

Traditional aftermarket gauges will always have a place in the automotive world; however, with advances in computing and electronic display technology, electronic data monitors are becoming a more and more popular alternative for diesel enthusiasts who want to keep an eye on all their vehicle parameters and at the same time have access to a whole new world of amazing vehicle information. Diesel performance industry pioneers like Gale Banks Engineering and Bully Dog have created electronic data monitors that are basically mini-computers that give you a window into all the inner-workings of your diesel. If you want to monitor your EGT’s, Transmission Temperature, Boost PSI and other vitals, no problem. Some data monitors allow you to read and erase diagnostic trouble codes, set vehicle engine temperature and pressure warnings, and even run tests on vehicle performance. And many let you do all this on a full color display that mounts right on your dashboard for a clean, factory installed look. The sky is the limit and we’re all able to benefit from the amazing features of electronic data monitors that are available today and will doubtless continue to improve and expand going forward.
