Dear Customer:
Edge Products and Superchips have been, and continue to be, proud supporters of competitive diesel motorsports across the United States and Canada. We proudly support and sponsor organizations such as NHRDA and NADM that promote legal racing and diesel competition in cities and towns all across North America. Despite our continued support of diesel motorsports, we have made the strategic decision to discontinue our Edge Racing and Superchips Racing products effective immediately. We will not accept new orders for Edge and Superchips Racing products as of July 12, 2011.
Edge Products and Superchips will no longer offer for sale Edge Racing and Superchips Racing-branded diesel, tuning products in the United States. Unfortunately, we believe a portion of dealers and consumers are exploiting the intended use of these products which has a negative impact on the future of this industry.
Prior to launching the Edge Racing and Superchips Racing brands, we undertook numerous preventive measures to ensure all dealers and consumers clearly understood the intended use of these products. In spite of our best efforts, we have concluded that these policies are not adequate to assure abuse is prevented. We have performed an exhaustive review of these measures, including numerous conversations with regulatory agencies such as EPA and CARB, in order to try to devise an effective way whereby we can assure ‘Racing’ products are used as intended. Based on our review, at this time, we do not believe there are adequate prevention measures available to the industry which provide those assurances.
We strongly encourage, for the long-term health of our industry, that all distributors, dealers and consumers of these or similar products made by other companies cease selling any electronic tuning product that contains the ability to disable any emissions system for late-model diesel trucks including (but not limited to) the DPF system, EGR system and Urea (exhaust fluid) injection. Per federal and state regulations, any registered vehicle is required to maintain its emissions systems unless it is used strictly and solely for racing. Unfortunately, even with the exhaustive, preventive measures we have taken, we do not feel it is possible to completely prevent abuse.
We have strong reason to believe all companies that continue to engage in the business of manufacturing, distributing, or selling these kinds of products in the United States will be subject to enforcement action from both the United States EPA and the California Air Resources Board. In the future, if we are able to devise a way to prevent abuse, we hope to re-establish the Edge Racing and Superchips Racing brands.
Below is a list/table that constitutes all Edge and Superchips Racing part numbers that will be immediately discontinued. The table below also identifies the appropriate street-legal replacement part number for the same application. All listed replacement parts can be found on the CARB Products in Progress list and either have been or will be tested for legal street use in the United States. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our contact information is included below for your convenience.

 

W......t.......f???????

 

Yep...Bill@PHP response>>>http://powerstrokenation.com/forums/...30&postcount=6

 

Yupp, it was on CompD as well.

 

BITCH-SLAPPED by the EPA and the rest of the BIG BROTHER U.S. government crew.........AGAIN. Nothing like the overzealous a@#@$%^* who feel the need to completely control us. This is why China will continue to grow its' economy while ours will keep going down. Someone over there will make a black-market version.

 

This is because of the asshats that go around smoking everything and everybody out and posting it on youtube for the world to see giving diesel performance and the diesel performance industry a bad image. If some people had an ounce of self control and didn't drive around with their right foot firmly lodged in the injection pump all the time this would not be happening just wait and see how many more companies send out letters like this.

 

Just keep your eye on the mods/kits for the diesel market.....some of them will start to disappear also.....

 

I agree this is just the start of what's to come.

 

I suppose some may be going back to the gas trucks as a result, or going older diesel.

 

older pre 07.5 for the win!!!

 

Well exact same reason Troyer and VMP wont turn off the 02 sensors that monitor the cats for street cars/trucks due to EPA. If they are found doing so they will rape them with lawsuits.

Ive hooked up my truck to a 5 gas analyzer and with no cats it actually is very very close to passing a sniffer test. On 4 of the test.

Diesel soot actually falls to the ground and doesnt go into the atmosphere the same way as a gasser.

 

the O2 sensors are helpful when it comes to tuning,

i dont see why they loop them out..

 

Referring to the REAR O2's that monitor the cats - they have nothing to do with how it runs.
