Got the Aero remapped.

[Gorilla Boy]

After some research i finally decided to get my 9-3 2.0t remapped by a uksaabs forum member called Saabnoob, only got a stage one done...

And its fantastic! The car is a bloody rocket ship in all gears, I cannot reccomend him enough

ETA: From 210bhp/245nm to 255bhp/370nm

Sounds interesting! I have the same car and may well be interested in doing the same!

Mind me asking how much it cost? Also did you have to send off your ECU or did you do a swap?

If maptun maps are 520, take at least £440 off that price

I drove to his house and he mapped it there and then. Took me out with an OB2 reader to make sure it was all okay and we went on a run up a dual carriageway to make sure it was all good.

Email him with your requirements, just google noobtune and youll find it

Seems he only does T7/8 anyone have a contact for a T5 tuner?

I too have visited Karl and know that dual carriageway!
Karl's a really nice guy and the price he does the mapping for is amazing.

Email him and find out? He might be able to sort you out, he certainly knows his stuff

Agreed, couldn't recommend him enough.

How's the 9000 running Apache?

ok, tried upping the power by bunging in an aero ECU, made no difference strangely so I'm wondering what's been done to it

Odd. My dad had it from a couple of years old and no evidence of any upgrades. Certainly nothing by my dad.

Ohhh, tempting. I believe the fuel consumption is better as well.

It's on my to-do list as well

Can you keep an eye on your mpg and update us when your initial enjoyment of the extra power has settled down ?

I'd be interested in knowing if there is much difference as my 07 Aero 'vert is noticeably thirsty even with the standard mapoing

cheers

Im slowly easing off the throttle

However I don't commute in the car and wont be doing till i come back from sea and a further chunk of time off (around mid October ill be commuting)

Ill try my best anyway!

Thought it'd be wise to get some braided hoses ordered too, shall be chucking in some better fluid too

[oblio]

Nice one

[Job38]

Sounds amazing!

Would that include 2002 93 Aero...?

(Having said that, mine struggles to handle it's stock engine spec even with steering rack brace/poly bushes/Abbot springs/Koni dampers., etc., etc.....)

There might be one or two others who can map it?
(Get the t7 APC mod done same time....well worth it)
