 Thanks for coming up on Saturday and doing the tuning. I have been taking rather easy as the speed seems to pile on rather quickly and corners which I used to accelerate around I now have to go easy around, which makes driving a little bit more fun. I have noticed that 4th Gear is like third used to be and it makes overtaking a doddle! The 0-60 have been considerably reduced as well, its great being able to leave bmw 330's behind as opposed to them just being able to keep up before the tuning was done.
The car seems to have settled down quiet nicely with no warning lights on or any problems.
Thanks once again.

My first impression was torque, and lots of it. In each and every gear the car will pull from very low revs with very little effort. Example 5th gear going up a normal 3rd gear hill at 1600 rpm and not having to change down! Put simply it has made my journeys far more relaxing and effortless! As a result of this I would say that my 0 – 60 time has changed from that of 8.1 seconds to probably more like 7.1! not forgetting that the car weighs in at 1260 kg (quite heavy). Fuel economy is good and strangely enough I have had an increase in my mpg! (Probably because of my not needing to change down as often and less throttle required to keep it moving). So to sum it all up, more torque + more hp + better fuel economy = happy me!

 Thanks for a brilliant job on the GTV, whilst there was immediate improvement the real benefits have come with time as the ECU ‘learned’ my driving style. The result is a much more flexible engine pulling from 3-3.5 k rpm, large increase in torque basically pulls like a train. Now noticeable quicker with improved 0-60 time, I’ll get a proper check and let you know how quick. Fuel consumption also has shown an improvement, unless I get carried away.
Thanks again for a splendid service!

 Having run the car for a couple of days now you can expect roughly the same delivery you had before but loads more power everywhere. 3rd gear feels like 2nd used to, it feels smoother and nippier all through the
rev range. Most noticeable was the removal of the brick wall that you hit at 4k when the car used to just stop accelerating until you hooked the next ratio. At the moment I am still driving quite 'enthusiastically' but the MPG figure is creeping up. On my slow traffic clogged 10 mile commute to work I used to get roughly 42mpg with the aircon going full pelt and about 47/48 without. Came into work this morning and had 54 on the display. Result!
All in all, well worth the money and will recommend to everyone! |

| The guys appeared through the grim foggy North East night armed to the teeth with laptop and bags of enthusiasm and knowledge. We soon trotted off for a test drive... Well what can I say. The power increase was incredible and noticeable from the start. Was 150 bhp now around 205Bhp, was 225 lbs ft now around 305 lbs ft. Also what was noticeable from my fuel computer was an increase in 2-3 mpg, Bonus! A fantastic job done by friendly enthusiastic guys who know what they are talking about, unlike some others... |

I had my 2003 Alfa 156 1.9 JTD 8v (115bhp) remapped by Graham.
Since buying the car I have always regretted not getting the 2.4 JTD. However now I am not bothered after Celtic tuning worked there magic on it.
All I can say I that there service could not be any better. The car now feels like it has been let out of its shackles. It pulls all the way up 5k revs. It's a lot more like a petrol car. The power is delivered very smoothly too. It really is a lot quicker in all gears.
The mapping has even cleared the little flat spot it had at 2250rpm. I was concerned about the car smoking but it doesn't at all!
The car now goes as fast as it looks.
Graham says the car will be running 165 BHP and 400nm of torque and I well believe it!
Thanks again to Celtic tuning. |

The mapping process was very quick and straight forward and its hard to believe what a difference just downloading a different file to the ecu can make!!
The car now pulls cleanly from around 1800rpm all the way to 4200rpm, with a very satisfactory surge of power. I know its been said before but third now pulls like second used to and fourth like third! Its so much more enjoyable to drive now, making overtaking a doddle.
On a recent drive through the winding roads of the Wicklow Mountains I was being followed by a friend in his Alfa Romeo GTV 3.0 V6, he said that at one point he wasn’t able to keep up!! Graham was very helpful and informative throughout the whole process and really helped me out of a hole after a bad experience with a different mapping company, and I would fully recommend Celtic Tuning to anyone looking to get a bit more out of their car.
Well done and thanks lads |
