How engine tuning works on a diesel Kia Sorento

Nothing is bolted on in a diesel remap. The ECU's stored maps for injection quantity, rail pressure and turbo boost are rewritten within safe limits, and because diesels make power through torque, that is where the improvement is most obvious.

For reference, CRDi is the Hyundai and Kia name for their common-rail direct-injection diesels.
