I had my 150bhp 2006 9-3 remapped yesterday. The smoothness and extra power through the rev range is vastly improved and the throttle response is so much better.

The remap took less than 40 mins and the service from Celtic was professional from start to finish, thank you.

I was advised to have a stage 1 upgrade to 209Bhp, Kevin performed the upgrade showed a lot knowledge in what he was doing. Once done "WOW" what a difference, so much punch in all gears and the drive now seems quite effortless and the engine doesn't feel like its straining. It’s so nice knowing the power is there when I need it, it has totally changed the drive of my car.

At the moment my MPG still seems the same but a lot of my driving has been around town, Driving on the motorway is so smooth and the overtaking ability in 6th gear is great.

Thank you Celtic Tuning Professional all the way.

Difference in performance is exceptional.MPG now averages 45mpg however I drive.Acceleration at all speeds is brilliant with absolutely no turbo lag.

I got through 4 bolt on chips before now but they all messed up the EGR and did not give the same improvements.

Well worth every penny.

AUTOMATIC

HAVE AN AUTOMATIC?

Alongside the engine control unit (ECU) we are also able to provide transmission control unit (TCU) software to help further enhance your vehicle. There is a lot of limitation built into modern gearbox software to help hold back the power gains you are trying to achieve from your engine, our gearbox software overcomes this and helps transform the way the car drives. Some of the modifications include raising maximum torque limiters, faster gear shift speeds, increased clamping pressures to prevent clutch wear, increased engine RPM limiters and much more…
