Why FAS TDi’s Over The Competition
Oscar Wilde once wrote: “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay…”
Interstingly enough, our competition did exactly this…purchased our product with the sole purpose of copying it. Ironically, you need to copy it correctly, or you end up with failure.
At FAS we take a lot of pride in the sweat equity involved in designing, producing, testing, and finally, providing products that not only work, but work well and are seemingly unnoticeable. Unlike our competition, we do not rush product to a niche market without properly testing, and then walk away.
| Additional Why FAS? Thoughts |
|---|
| We do not have turbo oil drain issues. Oil properly gravity-drains into our proprietary oil pan. |
| Our patent pending Hydraulic Engine Cradle System grabs frame rail to frame rail rigidity, to produce a smooth, quiet platform for inline drivetrains. |
| FAS crankshafts are all pre-drilled to allow for proper transmission input shaft mating. |
| FAS spent years dialing in minimal intake resonance and acoustics. VW had it right all along, as far as incorporating an airbox that was as far away from the “D” pillar as possible.
FAS uses the factory 2.1L wbx airbox for a super quiet ride. |
| All FAS kits include every dash interface: tachometer, coolant gauge, oil light system, and cruise control for free (regardless of if the vehicle had it previously). |
| FAS engine management electronics are 2nd to none. All modern engines absolutely require crystal clear Vehicle Speed Signals (VSS) supplied to the ECM for engine mapping, to perform properly. |
| FAS in-depth installation manual with unparalleled level of detail is provide with each package. |
| FAS uses a fuel cooler (just like all modem day TDIs), a factory VW wbx muffler and tailpipe. FAS allows the use of original factory evaporative emissions. |
| FAS spends little energy on social media…too busy creating products to keep our lovely Vanagons on the road. |
| FAS Thoroughly explains to clients why the tire size and gearing modifications are pertinent to installing a high torque low rewing engine in a Vanagon. |
