My car is an '07 plate B6 Passat TDI Sport (170) Estate, which was quite swift and responsive prior to being tuned by Celtic Tuning. As a former Police Traffic Patrol driver, I tend to drive fairly hard, and the Passat certainly lends itself to that. I recently fitted new heavy duty rear springs and shock absorbers (Sachs) which improved the handling hugely - it's got 166,000 on the clock and had been used as a rep's car, with I suspect, carrying heavy samples up and down the motorway, knackering the rear springs and S/As.
Celtic Tuning told me the car was ready and we went to collect it - lovely brand premises with brand new equipment including a dynamometer only to find the technician had taken it out on a test drive. They sat us down in their very nice 'lounge' area with coffees (hand -made, not out of a machine) in very nice mugs with their name and logo on them (I should've kept one!), and on the flat screen display was the graph of my car's engine readings before and after the re-map.
This was very interesting and informative. This showed engine power as 209.6 bhp (torque 335.4 lb ft) at 3,883 rpm with 177.2 BHP, dropping off gradually to just under 5,000 rpm, then rapidly dropping off to 190 at 5,000 rpm.
The PROs - vastly improved power band, far more responsive, BHP increased from the nominal 170 to 209.6, vastly improved torque from 2,500 up to 4,500 rpm, mpg pre re-map averaging 39, now if nursed at 55-60 mph just under 51, driven hard 45s, so gaining all round.
The CONs - in higher gears 5th and 6th, going uphill at 3-4,000 rpm, so much power is produced that the clutch will start to slip, it's done 166,000, so it's probably due for replacement anytime soon, which also means a new Dual Mass Flywheel - never replace a clutch without the DMF - a false economy, and although saving £375 ish for a new DMF, you'll end up having to pay to get the complete job done again within a few thousand miles and risk damaging the synchromesh in the gearbox. It would be very easy to collect speeding tickets now, so keep an eye on the speedo at all times. I haven't measured it, but I'd guess 0 - 60 takes about 6 seconds.
Overall, would I advise others to go down this route, a resounding yes. It's a good and fast car as standard, but now with stiffer suspension and ECU re-mapped, it's now a superb drive, and comparable/better than some true sports cars.Mods and remap carried April/May 2015 - and still delighted with improved performance.

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…
