Van Aaken purchased....
I just purchased a Van Aaken off of eBay with BD badging on it for $75. Anyone here using the Van Aaken. I imagine its pretty similiar to a Power Puck.

Which model, the V5 or the R? Not sure how it'll work with your drag comp, the V5 was the first power mod I did on my truck, for towing, and I like it. Really woke it up, then I added the 1.6's and it really woke it up again. If the van aaken and the comp are compatible, you might not see too much of a hp gain, unless you're looking for towing power and turn the comp off. I'm not sure how all that would work, the vanaaken is kind of a mild upgrade, more suited for towing and torque. Depends on what you're gonna be doing with it, but the drag comp is a lot more hp. Not sure about the BD badging either, mine doesn't say anything like that.

I'm sorry I sold the drag comp and haven't removed it from my sig yet. Its the version that plugs into the injection pump. I've seen edge products with BD stickers so I figure it must be something they have resaled. Thanks for the info.

then thats the smart box r which i don't believe has the boost fooling in it and i believe is the older box the newer box with the newer software n boost fooling is the V5. The V5 plugs into the diagnostic port and the map sensor no messing with the pump.
