Volkswagen TDI

The car that puts the diesel’s “smoky, smelly, slow” reputation to rest. Volkswagen TDI’s are the ultimate economy car, with many averaging 40 to 50 mpg. And, with their impressive low end torque they’re hard to beat, unless you add a cold air intake, TDI Chip or power module, injector nozzles, TDI Exhaust, TDI Performance Pods, or other TDI Performance Parts. Parleys Diesel Performance offers the TDI Performance mods you need to get even better diesel fuel mileage, and to awaken the power of the sleeping beast in your TDI engine.

Parleys Diesel Performance carries a full line of Volkswagen TDI Performance Upgrades. We have VW TDI Performance parts for improved TDI Fuel Economy, TDI performance parts for owners who want more fuel economy and more power, and VW TDI performance parts for those who are into racing their TDI’s or just want lots of power! Here’s a list of some of our most popular Volkswagen Turbo Diesel upgrades.

Not sure What Kind of TDI Performance parts you need? Here at Parley’s Diesel Performance we want you to be as educated as possible about TDI Performance before you make any changes to your stock TDI or even if you have made changes we want you to know what the next best step is to increase your TDI Performance. We have done extensive research and stock only the best parts in the TDI Performance market to assure that you will get the power and increases in fuel economy that you’re looking for. There are a number of TDI Performance modifications that you can make to your TDI, with each TDI Performance modifications serving a different purpose, so we will break down the main categories for you so you can decide which TDI Performance mods will be most beneficial for your particular situation.

TDI Performance Tuning Boxes or Modules

Although there are many different manufacturers to choose from when it comes to TDI performance tuning modules, we recommend only a few high-quality brands like Diesel Power and Bully Dog. VW TDI Power Modules are quite popular for a number of reasons, the biggest one of all being the simplicity of installation. Most TDI performance tuners work the same but they increase TDI performance by doing anything from a simple passive electrical circuit to more complex microprocessor controlled devices. The TDI Power Modules we sell intercept the signals that go between your ECU and the engine, altering the values as they are transmitted. TDI performance tuning boxes, regardless of exactly how they work, increase your horsepower by safely increasing the amount of fuel delivered at full load; many of them also make changes to the injection timing and duration.

High Flow TDI Performance Injectors

Your fuel injector is the part of your engine that actually injects the diesel fuel into the engine. The tip of the injector is called a nozzle. The nozzle sprays a mist of diesel fuel into the cylinder at which point the fuel combusts. So how will upgrading your VW TDI injectors or injector nozzles increase your TDI Performance? Since your injector controls the amount of fuel going into the cylinder, if you upgrade to what are known as “high flow” TDI performance injectors you will then be pouring more fuel into the cylinder, and more fuel burned equals more power. How much power? The answer, of course, depends on the size of the openings in the nozzles, but the most popular TDI Injector Nozzles will add anywhere from 20 to 30 horsepower and a 15% to 20% increase in torqu. For truly effective increases in diesel power, you’ll want to add more air along with the fuel. You’ll be fine upgrading to the .205 size injector nozzles with your stock turbo, for example; however, if you wanted the larger 30 horsepower .216 injector nozzles, you would need to upgrade your turbo as well. If you don’t, your TDI will just pour the unburned fuel out the tailpipe as black smoke. TDI Performance Injector Nozzles are a very popular TDI performance upgrade for 1997-2003 VW TDI’s.

TDI Performance Intakes

Delving further into TDI Performance and the mechanics of diesel engines in general, diesel engines work by combustion. In order for combustion to take place in a diesel engine, air is forced into the cylinder and it is actually the heat of the air that ignites the diesel fuel. So how do “performance intakes” or “cold air intakes” add more power to my TDI? Well they work in a couple of different ways to give you more TDI performance; cold air takes up less space than hot air so the more cold air you can get into the cylinder the better because that makes a bigger boom, the bigger the boom in the cylinder the more power to the pavement, and the greater the overall increase in TDI performance.

TDI Performance Exhaust Systems

Why the need for a TDI performance exhaust system? The main goal with upgrading your TDI exhaust systems is the reduction of exhaust back pressure. This allows the engine to flow more air and improve turbo response, both of which enhance your TDI performance and extend your engine life due to less heat and back pressure on the engine. Although there are some full TDI Performance Exhaust Systems, a full TDI performance exhaust system isn’t always the best way to get the most bang for your buck. To increase TDI Performance and air flow what we recommend is going with a new product called the Aero Exhaust Turbine Muffler. The Aero Turbine Muffler is the easy answer to your TDI performance exhaust need. The Aero Turbine’s design allows it to create a vacuum or jet type effect that will not only let more air flow through than a straight pipe or stock muffler, and thus increase TDI performance, but it will actually suck the exhaust away from the engine and out the tailpipe at an increased rate which will help increase your TDI performance and horsepower, extend engine life due to less back pressure as well as help with your TDI Mileage. Just make sure that the Aero Muffler you order will fit your particular TDI Exhaust system, and understand that sometimes some extra fabrication is necessary. Take the measurements of the Aero Muffler you’re looking at to your local muffler shop before buying to make sure they can install it for you.

TDI Performance Propane Injection Systems

For those of you who aren’t serious about TDI performance and tweaking out your TDI to its fullest capacities short and simple TDI Performance propane injection systems are not for you, there are a number of things that we recommend doing for your TDI performance before moving on to the greener pastures of TDI performance propane injection including TDI performance chips, high flow TDI performance injector nozzles, and TDI performance intakes and/or a TDI performance exhaust. For those of your who are still curious keep reading. So you might have heard of this but maybe you’re not quite sure about diesel propane injection as an option for your TDI. “What does it do?” and “Does it really help?” are a lot of the questions that we get when it comes to propaning your TDI. As far as what it does for TDI performance, the systems are set up to inject a fine mist of propane in to the cylinder; once there this mist helps in a couple of ways to increase TDI performance. The first way is by helping to burn all of the fuel in the cylinder. Most diesel vehicles only burn 75% of the fuel that goes through the cylinder which leaves about 25% of it just going out the tail pipe. Volkswagen TDI propane diesel injection systems help in burning all of the fuel injected into the cylinder. The other benefit of diesel propane injection for TDI performance is that it is a high octane fuel and burning it will give you about another 30 to 40 HP! TDI owners and TDI performance enthusiasts that are running propane systems on average will see about a ten percent increase in fuel mileage and usually get about 3500 miles on one 2.5 gallon tank of propane.
