Does TDI not sell to the worlds 5th largest economy?

Michael_in_Baja said:

I went to pull the trigger on a TDI tuner this morning for my Trialmaster. At check out, they don't list California as a shipping destination. There is nothing on the website that says they don't sell to California, but you simply can't select California as a state at checkout.

I reached out to them directly to find out if there was some prohibition, or maybe they just don't like California. I will update you as I know more or perhaps someone here has had a similar experience and knows this answer.

From their website

California Air Resources Board (carb).
Our products are not to be used in California unless a specific Executive Order has been issued for your vehicle. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulates aftermarket parts and has regulations that place all emissions related aftermarket automobile parts into various categories. Executive Order Parts are aftermarket parts that CARB have evaluated and determined do not adversely impact emissions, and thereby are granted an Executive Order (EO), which allows the part to be sold and used on specified automobiles for on-road, off-road, on or off public highway use in California. At this time TDI Tuning do not have such Executive Orders and therefore prohibit the use of our aftermarket tuning devices for use in California.

It is your responsibility to comply with all applicable federal and state laws relating to the use of equipment supplied by TDI Tuning for both on-road, off-road, on or off public highway use. TDI Tuning hereby disclaims any liability resulting from the failure to use our products in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws.

By installing and or using our products you agree to the terms of use as stated above.

It does appear that more countries and states are clamping down on anything that affects emissions, I read about a US remapper being fined several millions for modifying vehicles recently. Also I note for example the French bi-annual roadworthiness test will be using specialised equipment to so if a vehcile has been remapped as well as gutted cats and dpf deletes. It is only a matter of time before this spreads more widely.

I wound up sending my 460 Ford 4x4 F250 to Florida for this very reason. It is good to have friends in free states. Sigh.

Did I see that California are banning gasoline lawnmowers, hedge cutters etc?

Not banning private jets for some reason.

Texas scores a goal on California as Chevron moves headquarters to Houston

Chevron is moving its corporate headquarters full of managerial jobs to Texas, and the political fallout is unavoidable.

Yep, The state has essentially declared war on the petrochemical industry. Even gas-fired water heaters and stoves are on their list.

All the while our governor has one of the largest carbon footprints on the planet. He loves taking a helicopter and here there and everywhere.

I'm not planning on doing this for the horsepower, I am looking for more torque down low for better fuel economy so I might never go beyond setting 3. That said, everything I read about these fellows tells me they are the most well-regarded tuner platform for the B58 in terms of safety and reliability.

Thanks David, I worked it out. What are you seeing on average for power and torque or what does the sweet spot feel like?

As noted, my travels average 48-56 mph / 90 kph. I think I can squeeze 21-22 mpg out of the B58 by maximizing torque between 1600-1900 rpm at 55-65 mph.

I will do a roadtrip once whatever I ordered arrives.

If you are looking for max fuel economy set it to Level 1. One of my customers is getting 19MPG hand calculated on long drives in Florida at Level 1. I pair this or the Agile tuner and sell with the IO Pedal tuner. I see a huge difference when paired with our Kooks Exhaust system given it has less back flow. If you are interested in the IO Pedal tuner, I have those too and sold 3 this week. 704-682-9323 Thanks, David I do have to finish editing more videos of this as well for our YouTube channel.

Nice. Thanks for the imput. Once I leave the US headed South in to Baja the posted speed limit is 80/90 kpm or 50/56 mph which is where I noticed these things get the best gas mileage, or at least mine did. While that seems mind numbingly slow, the road is narrow and usually pretty bad for most of the 1000 miles to my village.
