HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade is a high quality, digital management upgrade, incorporating a modern RISC microprocessor. The “chip” is carefully programmed - using the manufacturers standard fuel map as a foundation – and modifies the opening times of the injectors, which then accurately meters the extra fuel required. Unlike many analogue devices, which crudely over-fuel throughout the entire rev-range, each Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade is specifically mapped for the intended application. Extra fuel is provided when needed - eliminating flat-spots and hesitation - but there is no unnecessary enrichment, meaning no loss of fuel economy and no black smoke. In fact, most Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade users report a noticeable improvement in fuel economy, as they discover it’s no longer necessary to work their vehicle so hard.

ADDITIONAL POWER GAINS
We also strongly recommend fitting a K&N air filter with a Power Box 2 - Diesel Power Upgrade.
