Hello Everyone.
I just installed a "power box" tuning kit today. The extra boost of power you get all over the RPM band is so nice... That constant acceleration we TDI'ers enjoy is amplified nicely, especially above 3000 rpm in 2nd or 3rd gear (haven't been able to push it that hard in 4th yet - 4 speed auto... it just kicks down to third when I call for the added power in overdrive)...
But there's bad news, something I feared would happen - my car SMOKES like an old A2 style turbodiesel with a good amount of KMs on it. Nice thick clouds of grey/black smoke under hard acceleration... especially from
3500-4000+ rpm - IE where my tranny puts the revs when it downshifts... At less then this it still smokes. I have an K&N filter so air shouldn't be too much of a problem... maybe I should clean it?Does anyone else have experience with the Powerbox... Could it be the diesel fuel i'm running in my car?
