XDI’s roots are deeply in the Bosch Fuel System world. Starting at Bosch in Germany in August 2001, XDI’s founder Uwe Ostmann developed Diesel High Pressure Nozzles and early faced the challenges of tuning a common rail based high pressure fuel system.
After leading the Audi Le Mans LMP1 project for four years including fuel system and controls development and developing several key technologies at Bosch Motorsport in Germany, Uwe came to Bosch Motorsport USA in July 2012.
He took over the fuel system development of all OEM race projects based on GDI systems, including the Corvette C7.R, the Ford Daytona Prototype 3.5 EcoBoost and some others that cannot be mentioned in detail including some open wheel cars. He also developed advanced combustion analysis systems and custom fuel systems and controls for several research projects. All of the above purely with high pressure fuel systems up to 500bar / 7250psi.
In December 2014 Uwe quit Bosch Motorsport to become the first and only Bosch Motorsport Dealer and aftermarket supplier in the world with focus on high pressure GDI race projects. Since then XDI has worked on several race programs, on wheels and on water, endurance, drift and drag and again on smaller research programs.
