Kerma 1.9 TDI Stage 3 Kit Components: Power and Precision
The Kerma Power Plus package is a carefully curated selection of high-quality components designed to work in harmony:
Turbocharger Options for Maximum Performance
- Garrett 17/49VB (VNT 17) Turbocharger: This powerful turbo delivers significant boost and improved performance throughout the rev range.
- BorgWarner S7 Turbo Upgrade (Optional): For even quicker spool-up and enhanced low-end torque, the S7 turbo provides impressive responsiveness. It spools approximately 400 RPM sooner than the VNT17, making it an excellent choice for daily driving. Both turbos seamlessly support the demands of upgraded injectors with minimal turbo lag.
Seamless Integration and Enhanced Reliability
- Kerma Plug-and-Play Turbo Adapter for ALH: This exclusive adapter simplifies installation and ensures a perfect fit.
- Complete Turbo Gasket/Hardware Install Kit: All necessary hardware for a hassle-free installation is included.
- Kerma Braided Stainless Steel Turbo Oil Supply Line: A durable and reliable upgrade replacing the fragile stock hardline. This exclusive component ensures consistent oil delivery to the turbocharger.
Fuel System Upgrades for Optimal Power
- Fratelli Bosio DLC 1019 or DLC764 Injector Nozzles: Choose between DLC 1019 nozzles for slightly improved fuel economy or DLC764 nozzles for maximum power output. These new nozzles come with a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty.
- Injector Calibration Service: Precision calibration maximizes performance and ensures smooth running with the upgraded nozzles. A convenient hotswap option is available.
Clutch Options for Enhanced Power Handling
- South Bend Stage 2 Daily Clutch Kit: Featuring a silent design, this clutch kit includes a 22lb single mass flywheel and transmission stretch bolts. This eliminates clutch rattle, providing a smooth and quiet driving experience while handling the increased torque.
- South Bend Stage 2 Endurance and Stage 3 Daily Clutch Kits: For more aggressive driving styles, these options provide increased clamping force and durability.
Tuning and Performance Enhancements
- 3 Bar MAP (Boost) Sensor with Billet Adapter: Accurately measures boost pressure for precise engine management.
- Kerma Custom Chiptuning: This expertly calibrated tune optimizes performance, drivability, and reliability, eliminating the need for endless data logging and adjustments. It provides tighter boost control, resulting in more power and torque, reduced smoke, and lower exhaust gas temperatures.
- Q PRO+ Tuning Appliance: Enables easy updates to your tune should you decide to further modify your vehicle. (Early 1998-1999 ALH models require ECU shipping for reprogramming.)
- Gator Juice Diesel Additive: Improves fuel lubricity and cetane rating for optimal engine performance.
