Thoughts on DTE’s PowerControl Boost Module.

[Onemoosehorn]

So I’m looking for reviews/thoughts on DTE’s PowerControl Boost Module. This is supposed to be undetectable since there’s no flashing of the ecm. There are claims made of up to 90hp and 100ftlbs over stock with the turbo adapters and an S&B intake. I saw a dyno sheet posted on Facebook claiming this.

There is no “undetectable”. There is less obvious, but the overboost will be logged in the computer along with other sensors that will be showing ranges that don’t make sense under normal conditions.

I’ve heard of boostmax, chipwerke, burger(?), and there was an earlier one I”m forgetting. the burger was fairly recent.

The chipwerke had notorious failures on the Raptor, causing huge drivability problems.

I’ve seen users report problems with other ‘piggyback’ boost adders here too.

from their site:

Legal Notice. Before we start, please note.

The installation of an additional control unit represents a structural change that can result in the loss of warranty and/or loss of insurance cover without registering a parts approval certificate in the vehicle documents. The represented product has not yet certified with a part approval. Warranty claims against the seller and any warranty claims against the manufacturer may be omitted through an increase in performance via chiptuning or an additional control unit. Before usage outside Germany please inform yourself about applicable national road traffic laws which might restrict the usage to private roads, race tracks or offroad. We will be glad to provide you with detailed information.

We ran the DTE system on 3 of our shop trucks and really liked them. They plug in directly under the hood and not the ECU. So much less of a digital footprint if you’re focused on warranty. 90HP/100TQ sounds a bit high, but it is definitely a noticeable power uptick even as a stand-alone mod. We’re a stocking dealer for DTE and have a few in our shelf. Let us know if we can help!

does 850 for a piggyback unit strike anyone else as a bit outrageous?

It is a higher priced than most. But we can assure everyone that it works, does not throw codes, provides good power and is Bluetooth enabled to adjust on the fly. After personally being stranded on the side of the road with two of the aforementioned units, wouldn’t ever run one of those again even if it is less expensive. DTE works and works as advertised.
