Stage 1 ECU Tuning Upgrade:
Bring new life to your 2003-2011 Saab 9-3 2.0 with our Stage 1 ECU tune. Our stage 1 ECU Tuning Upgrade has been professionally tested and run on our personal vehicles for a combined 100,000 miles and counting. This tune has no hardware enhancement requirements however we do recommend you run a NGK spark plug with a colder heat range (7) compared to the stock (6) heat range plug for better performance and longevity. This ECU upgrade improves acceleration through increased boost pressure and enhanced fuel mapping. When driven conservatively you may even notice 1-2 MPG better fuel economy hence overtime this upgrade can pay for itself*.

What we need from you:

• Your cars ECU mailed to us
• Your cars Year
• Your cars engine type (B207L (little t) or B207R (big T)
• Manual or Automatic

The Process: After you purchase this tuning service you will receive an email with our shipping address. You must send us your ECU out of your vehicle in order to have the tune applied to it. You are responsible for the shipping cost and method of shipment used. Standard Return shipping for your ECU, after it is tuned, is included in your purchase price and typically takes 2-3 days via USPS Priority Mail. If you would like faster return shipping we offer next day shipping an additional cost.

Ordering:
If you are purchasing this service in conjunction with our ECU cloning repair service AND replacement unit from us we have a discounted option for you. Please choose the "add on only option" for the tuning package of your choice. Otherwise the price for this service is the full price without our cloning repair service and replacement.

Stage 2 E30 Tune (2007-2011 Only) PLEASE READ FULLY.:
This tune does NOT require you to run E30 but allows your car to run E30. E30 is a mix of 93 Octane fuel which typically contains about 10% ethanol with E85 which typically contains about 51% to 85% ethanol content. You must mix the fuel to achieve E30 which is 30% ethanol content to get the full E30 performance metrics below. You can run any mixture up to E35 however anything above E35 will max out the stock injectors of the vehicle and will not increase performance and is strongly discouraged on the stock injectors. Therefore this is strictly a E30 Tune and we recommend not to exceed E30 but built in a E35 safety net in case your math is off. Due to the absence of a ethanol sensor on these vehicles we developed an Advanced Sensor-less Flex-Fuel adaptation process that requires no sensors and no manual map switching.

93 Octane Performance metric estimates:
+60 ftlbs Torque
+55 Horsepower
Approximate new torque and hp:
280ftlbs and 265hp

E30 Performance metric estimates
+75 ftlbs Torque
+65 Horsepower
Approximate new torque and hp:
295 ftlbs Torque and 275HP

*Greater fuel economy has been recorded in our testing in optimal conditions when driven conservatively on the highway and is therefore not guaranteed nor promised. Other factors such as replacing the spark plugs, ignition coils, O2 sensors, etc. can all affect overall fuel economy both before and after a tuned ECU.
