Objective:

Dyno Comparison -- Stock Computer Program vs. The Turbo Shop's Power Loader II Programming

Dyno graph of stock computer program vs. The Turbo Shop's Power Loader II Programming.

Here, the dyno shows a 10.7 horsepower and 9.7 ft/lbs torque difference between stock programming and with The Turbo Shop's Power Loader II programming. Here the average was up 5.5 horsepower and 9.5 ft/lbs torque. I had removed the Hypertech Power Programmer Plus Programming and returned the fuel pressure regulator to the stock 46 psi setting to have a stock baseline again. Where the Hypertech unit made a good 5.6 hp and 7.0 lb-ft of torque, the Power Loader II bested it by nearly 200%! The programming was the standard programming, not modified for my setup other than to have the fans come on earlier for use with the 160 degree thermostat I had already installed. Check out the Dynojet Race Routine between the stock vehicle, the stock programming and the Power Loader Program.


Subjective:

The TTS program offered more throttle response and better overall performance than the stock programming. I also noticed a slight increase in fuel mileage over both the stock programming and the HPP+ programming. Steve Cole, the propreitor of The Turbo Shop, is an extremely knowledgeable guy with probably the best insight to the stock computer of anyone I have spoken with. He can also make a custom program to fit you car's specific needs, including changing gearing, fan turn on/off temps, etc. TTS can be reached at 310-669-8101.
