Has anyone on here replaced their failing DPF with a different passive unit?
I have helped design an aftertreatment system for a small turbo diesel engine, and we used a completely passive filter in conjunction with a catalyst, and ended up with some pretty sweet results.
My TDI only has about 40K on it, but I'm looking ahead and weighing my options. I would like to increase the power and economy of my car as well and I am thinking that adding a higher flowing DPF in conjuction with a tune it could really make a difference.
I am aware of the options, aka deleting it all together or just living with what I have, at this point I'm not interested in that stuff and would just like to hear about what others have done.
I found this company, Diesel Emissions Technologies, and they are an aftermarket that produces these filters, mainly for trucks, but still I could make one work. I have welder and a fair amount of expience with stuff like this so fabrication isn't a problem. Find a filter at a decent price and a calibration that wil work best with the different filter is what I am most interested in!
