Might as well just buy a dCi 175 and remap that then. |

Car makers do undertune their turbo-diesel models very significantly. Part of the justification is to ensure 100% reliability during the warranty period. This is especially true in the UK - as a nation of car owners we're not known for our attention to regular servicing.
The other reason is that the car makers have to make a space in the market for petrol models - no maker want to be seen selling a diesel car that completely eclipses it's petrol stablemate in performance terms. | |

Hey, I just found this. Engine programmer for 2004 Dodge Ram Cummins 5.9 L 24v. Adds 154hp! Check it out for yourself! https://www.superchips.com/#pn=onlin...productdetails | |

Can't be a particularly well setup engine in the first instance if there's 154bhp worth of slack built in. | |

Diesels are for torque, by the way.  | |

we know this as weve had, using the word cafefully here, performance diesels for a long time unlike the americans where diesel has only really kicked off in the last few years.
