It's common tuner wisdom that increasing airflow & reducing exhaust restrictions increases an engine's ability to make power. Of course, more available air only translates to increased power output when an engine's ECU adjusts to this new condition by adding more fuel to the mixture. The importance of a superior-performing fuel pump should be obvious - the majority of power modifications place extra demands on this part, posing the risk of fuel cutouts or fuel pump failure. With the ECS Hi-Volume Fuel Pump Upgrade, the sky is the limit, offering up to 50% more fuel flow.

A common problem found on Diesel engines that use VNT (variable nozzle turbine) vanes to regulate air flow through the turbine, is a sticky VNT turbo actuator can cause limp mode by not moving the vanes as the computer expects. At low engine speed, the vanes close to restrict the exhaust air flow through the turbine, increasing turbine power & boost pressure; at higher engine speeds, the vanes open to maximize exhaust gas flow. Dealers usually replace the entire turbo, netting more money. ECS offers the wiser solution - Simply Replace your Turbo Actuator in one complete repair.
