BD Plug-N-Power VS EZ Edge

[Big P]

I'm not sure if both companies have products for 2002's yet but by judging from 2001's products is there any big difference between BD's Plug-N-Power and EZ's Edge? Will they set over boost codes, do they both increase boost by using "boost elbows" do they plug into the same place? I'm seriously thinking about bombing and I want to start in the right place. Thanks guys.

the EZ

I have experience only with the EZ, but it plugs into the engine wiring harness and map sensor without removing any 'void' antitamper stickers.



The increase in boost is accomplished by working on the wastegate elbow. The factory setting for boost is around 20 psi, the elbow modifications allow much higher boost, up to about 32psi in my truck.

The EZ connection that plugs in between the map sensor and the factory plug to this sensor 'adjusts' the signal to the computer to keep it from turning on fault codes when the boost exceeds 21#.



There is a significant power increase without the extra boost, the extra boost is extra air, which significantly reduces EGT's. So the boost elbow work is not mandatory, but is recommended: it reduced my EGT's by 150 degrees.



The EZ box changes the fuel timing which gives much better throttle response. The box also adds more fuel, and this creates fun !!



I chose the EZ since it seemed from several days of reading and watching this board that the EZ was the most popular box in use, therefore having the best and quickest resale value. [In case I didn't like it] But now that I've installed the EZ and driven with it: don't try to buy my EZ box, it is not for sale!!



I'm sure that the many other boxes have their pros and cons, but I wanted a box with no tattle-tale marks left behind in case I needed to remove it and take the truck in for warrantee work.



Warning!! adding and using power is ADDICTIVE! Just check my signature!



JMHO, enjoy your new power! Greg L

BD

Seemed like a good product and lasted 13. 5 months (12 month warranty) They did finally repair Box after 2. 5 months of e-mails, Finally had to get VA involved to get situation resolved. Glad this happened before I purchased the e-brake and trans mod for Moms Ram. Had planned on BD units, but will go elswhere now.

Many other posts on thes sites in past with others having similar problems with BD.

Good comparrison

The new PnP 2 has new hard ware and soft ware. It can be flashed by Bd calibration centers to any specific engine power program. At present there are 14 different files availabe and even includes propane or XXX injectors when you want fuel or timing a little different.



As of today nether Edge or the Plug n Power have the MAP plugs for the 2002 available as production. (We have limited # of adapters in the short term for the EZ)



The amount of power that you get out of either the EZ or the PnP is the same since they both must operate with in the paramaters set by Cummins and Bosch.



The PnP as any product can and have some minor problems. Anythime this happens we involve the manufacturer to solve the problem. I appologize for some times taking longer than seems reasonable.



Which ever product you choose BD stands behind each of them. We are Master Distributors for both.
