Takeuchi TL8 DPF & EGR Delete

Get your TL8 out of the regen cycle for good. Machines with a Denso ECM are tuned in the cab with our Reflash Master handheld, which shuts off the DPF and EGR and can add up to 20% more power. Machines with a Bosch ECM take a plug-in emulator that removes the DPF. Send us a photo of the ECM label and we will match the right kit. We ship all across the US and Canada.

Why delete the DPF and EGR on a Takeuchi TL8?

DPF

Diesel particulate filter

A compact track loader spends much of its day idling between buckets, trenching at part throttle or creeping along a grade. None of that makes enough heat to keep the filter clean, so the TL8 asks for parked regens and the soot load keeps climbing until the machine derates. Removing the DPF gets rid of the regen schedule along with the cost of cleaning or replacing a loaded filter.

EGR

Exhaust gas recirculation

The EGR valve routes some exhaust back through the intake, and on a small 3.3L engine that soot cakes onto the valve and cooler quickly. A sticking valve brings fault codes, poor throttle response and limp mode. On Denso machines our file turns the EGR off electronically, so that failure point is gone. On Bosch machines the emulator leaves the EGR in service.

Frequently asked questions

Q1Which ECM does my TL8 have?+

Takeuchi built the TL8 with either a Denso or a Bosch engine controller, and the label on the ECM tells them apart. Email us a clear photo of that label with your serial number, and we will confirm the right kit before you order.

Q2What changes between the Denso and Bosch versions?+

A Denso ECM is reflashed with our handheld, which removes the DPF and EGR and can add a Stage 1 or Stage 2 power tune. A Bosch ECM takes a plug-in emulator instead. It removes the DPF only, and the EGR keeps working.

Q3Does the Bosch emulator add horsepower?+

No. The emulator handles the DPF signals only, so a Bosch-equipped TL8 keeps its factory 74 hp. Power tunes are available on Denso machines.

Q4How do I take the DPF out?+

Every order includes DPF removal instructions by email. Once the canister is out, the exhaust runs open with no regens to manage.

Q5Can I keep the handheld for another machine?+

Yes. Denso kits include the Reflash Master, which stays with you. Call us and we can unlock it for another machine in your fleet.

Q6Disclaimer+
