For the Chrysler 300C 3.0 CRD STARTECH offers its SD6 performance tuning that does not impede the function of the standard diesel particulate filter. The STARTECH tuning kit consists of a computer-controlled auxiliary control unit complete with wire harness and installation instructions. It can be installed in less than 30 minutes by any authorized Chrysler dealer.
The new engine mapping increases power output of the 3.0-liter V6 common-rail turbodiesel engine from standard 218 hp / 160 kW to 262 hp / 193 kW at 4,000 rpm. Even more important in everyday driving is the jump in peak torque from standard 510 Nm to 580 Nm, available between a low 1,600 and 2,800 rpm. These impressive figures are also reflected in the performance of the Chrysler 300C 3.0 CRD. The sprint from rest to 100 km/h is shortened from 7.6 (Touring: 7.9) seconds for the production car to 7.2 (Touring: 7.5) seconds with STARTECH SD6 tuning. Top speed increases to 235 (Touring: 232) km/h.

this is a very typical increse on a turbo deisel.
tdi's actually get more of an increase than efi-t's.
u should see the increase they can get out of the audi 3.0L v6 Tdi :). almost double that improvment :).

figure quoted from powerchip site for 05 Audi A6 3.0L Tdi

"In standard form, the A6 3.0 TDi Quattro produces 165 kW and 450 Nm.

Powerchip has a range of chips to suit your car, which can increase it's power to 206 kW, and it's torque to 553 Nm."

so thats 41kw, and 103nm increase :).
not quite double, oh well. but still impresive :D

turbo diesels are great, they have so much potential :), only prob is, i love to rev high :(.

You get over it...the push in the back between 2000-3500 rpm solves any addiction to revs :)

turbo diesels also respond well to petrol turbo mods like pod filters/cold air/less restrictive intake, large front mount intercoolers and free flowing exhaust systems
