As the first tuning company in the world, BSR now has PPC tuning available for the Saab 9-3 Turbo X and Aero XWD.

With PPC you get 300Hp/480Nm

The tuning is performed via the diagnostic connector under the steering wheel and takes only a few minutes. You don´t even have to lift the hood. As simple as advanced!
PPC® - the optimal OBD tuning system
Unique tuning technology developed by Swedish high-tech company BSR.

The PPC® is supplied with a highly developed and sophisticated tuning program from BSR.

The PPC® Tuning System is easily installed and will after a few minutes be provided with a tuning program via the car's diagnostic port. If the need to reverse the programming exists, the original can be recalled just as fast.

For reasons of security, the PPC® unit has been designed so that it "marries" itself to the car to which it is first connected.

More information about power, torque and much more, is found under the respective car and yearmodel on this site.

The price for the PPC unit, including the tuning program and free Internet updates. See the diffrent tuning kits for prices.

Updates can be done via Internet.

At the present time, the PPC® Tuning System is available for the following car models Audi, BMW, Opel, Mercedes, Saab, Seat, Skoda, Volvo, VW.
The compatible carmodels are clear from the site.

BSR AB continuously develops PPC for new car models and engine management systems as they became available.

Once purchased, the PPC® unit is the property of the customer.

Adjustable Speed Limiter
BSR offers a unique possibility to change the speed limiter! You can choose between four different levels: 140, 220, 240 and 270km/h.

This new function is free of charge when tuning your car with PPC. All our customers that already have bought a PPC (v2) also get access to the function.

Average Power
BSR introduces a new concept – average power – to better illustrate the difference you will experience when tuning your car! BSR’s stated average power is equivalent to the average power increase within a given rpm interval. The rpm interval normally used in a petrol car is 2500rpm - 6000rpm, and for a diesel car 1500rpm - 4500rpm. The average power is calculated on these intervals.

Indicating the average power increase, and not only the peak output, is a better way to illustrate how the car will behave with BSR’s tuning. During acceleration, for example when overtaking, it’s the area under the power graph in the current rpm interval that determines how fast the car will accelerate. BSR’s stated average power generally tells more about the acceleration than the stated peak output.

Launch Control
Launch control is included in the software! BSR has developed a new automatic launch control for cars equipped with manual transmission. The launch control is fully integrated in the software which is downloaded into the car. The launch rpm is set to 4500 rpm, which makes it easy to make a fast and optimised take-off. The system is active while the car is standing still and is disconnected as soon as the car is moving.

Fuel petrol cars
BSR recommends you to use at least EU 98 octane unleaded (≈US 93 octane), no matter if the car is tuned or not, and no matter what tuning stage you have.

• Cars with BSR Stage 1-2 can be run on EU 95 (≈US 90) if it’s permitted (see instruction book), but the result is increased fuel consumption and less power than indicated.

Consumption
Objective measurements of fuel consumption have not been performed. In general an upgrade will give a small fuel consumption reduction as long as the turbo pressure is kept below original pressure, i.e. when the added effect of the tuning is not used. By using sport filters and full flow exhaust emission control systems there is less resistance and therefore the fuel consumption can be reduced with a few percentages.

The fuel consumption can increase as the turbo pressure rises higher than original level.

Acceleration Times
The acceleration times illustrate the difference in percentages when overtaking before and after BSR tuning.

The acceleration times were timed using a advanced GPS equipment on our airfield. The same gear is used throughout the whole interval so the driver´s skills will not influence the results. (at acceleration from 0-100km/h)

Acceleration is started 10km/h before the time keeping starts, i.e. at the acceleration interval 80-120 km/h the acceleration is started at 70km/h. There are always two people in the vehicle.

The presented acceleration times are mean values calculated from 3 runs in both directions. The acceleration times cannot be compared with other times taken using another vehicle or during different conditions. What you can compare are percentages from other vehicles before and after BSR tunings.

In the cases where only the difference calculated as a percentage is stated the information is from a different car body equipped with the same engine, for instance VW Golf vs Audi A3.

Differences between runs can be:
- Load (such as fuel, sound system, spare wheel, passengers)
- Height of tyres (transmission).
- Wheel rims (oscillating mass)
- Width of tyres (taxiing resistance).
- Vehicle height (air resistance).
- Ground/road (taxiing resistance)
- Angle
- Temperature
- Air pressure
- Humidity
- Fuel quality
- Vehicle condition.

BSR Recommends Extended Tuning Service
The car manufacturers generally have long service intervals. In connection with tuning, we recommend closer intervals to ensure better function and a longer life for the engine.

Motor oil and oil filters must be replaced regularly every 15 000 km (this is a requirement for BSR´s vehicle guarantee) and spark plugs must be replaced every 15 000 km.

If the vehicle is equipped with sports filter this must be cleaned at least every 10 000 km or even more frequently, depending on season and the amount of air pollution (for example when using the car in inner city areas). If the original filter is used this must be replaced after a maximum of 20 000 km (or even earlier, according to earlier recommendations).

Regularly inspect and clean the so-called course filter in the air intake before the air filter. Especially during autumn leaves tend to get stuck and this stops the engine from getting enough air.
