Smile Cummins 2002 8.3

We have a 2002 8.3 Cummins motor on a 2002 Monaco Windsor. The banks power pack system that was on it when we purchased it failed over time and Banks have no remedy for their failed system.
I have looked at a TS performance mp8 module for this coach I'd like to know if anyone out there has used this enhancing system on there Cummins motor.
Any advice on any other systems would be greatly appreciated.

That is a "cheater chip" type of power-adder. It works by modifying the boost and fuel pressure sensor data that the computer sees, and absolutely can (and does) increase the stress on the engine and the EGTs.

For something as expensive as an RV with a cummins engine (I have the same engine in a 40' Diplomat from the same year) I would strongly suggest either a computer update from Cummins themselves (I believe there is one available to safely increase the power) or just leave the sensors alone and upgrade the fuel system with a lift pump and better filtration.

Cheater chips are just a bad idea.

If it's the turbo that failed you can get that rebuilt...
