Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell people how fantastic your self tuning kit is. Within minutes I had a massive grin on my face and I would safely say that I am now getting more miles from a tank of fuel thanks to Celtic tuning. Not only did I receive a perfect product but the help and support was second to none.

A big thank you to graham and I'm looking forward to more software from you.

No one else cuts it like Celtic,

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…
