BSR PPC, anyone used one?

[Bigletch]

Hi

I was thinking about getting a stage 1 bsr ppc unit for my saab 9-5 aero my01
They quote power increase's to 274bhp and 420 mn/torque
Which is a hefty increase from standard 230bhp

I was looking for some feedback from anyone that has used this tuning company?

I saw a BSR mapped car on the rollers and it really didn't run properly. I would recommend looking at Maptun instead.

Agreed. I've also seen some less than ideal results on a B235R with BSR software.

Maptun mapping is much, much, much better than BSR.

I think your question is still yet to be answered as none of the two replies have used the BSR PPC.

All I have heard of the BSR is good things, not having used one myself I cannot give a firsthand opinion.

Although I would look at the fact BSR is used extensively in the US Saab modification market. Go to Saab Central and you will get a better idea of the BSR PPC.

If I were going down the route you are thinking I'd be looking at BSR and Hirsch.

You don't have to personally have used BSR PPC......I've seen enough BSR mapped Saab's on dyno days during to past 10 years to know that I wouldn't risk one of their maps on my car.... but this is specific to a B235R engine, rather than BSR generally, and this is the important part.

And if you look elsewhere you'll find the OP may have answered his own question already.

OK, well after spending a lot of money with my local Saab specialist just yesterday, I have now removed my BSR PPC Stage 1 map, and about to launch a refund procedure with BSR, as it was causing my engine to overboost and 'pink'. Everything was changed to overcome the problem, but after they got the car running perfectly (all tech 2 figures spot on, and matching what was being required by the ecu, and what was being delivered by the engine) without the map, they could not get it to run well with the map on.

My advice is to avoid this product,
