MapTun Performance has been contracted by Sarsys (Scandinavian Airport and Road Systems AB) to rebuild brand new Saab 9-5 2,3t BioPower to Aero specification.

Saab has discontinued the Aero engine, but among Sarsys customers the demand remains high.

After the engines receive new turbochargers the engine management system software will be modified to up the power to Aero levels. All cars are to be run in the RotoTest to verify that the engines are performing accordingly.

The first two cars will be exported to the end customer in Egypt.

MapTuner T7 will be available in two forms. The first version requires no modifications on the car, it's a simple plug and play unit that connects to the vehicle's OBD2 port. Download time for a software is approximately 18 minutes.

For customers that wish to download software faster a second version is offered. By fitting a cable harness, connecting the OBD2 port to the ECU, the download process will be reduced to just 2 minutes.

MapTuner is a product developed completely in-house at MapTun Performance AB.
The MapTuner is a small hand-held device that you connect to the OBD2 diagnostics outlet and reprogram the car yourself with a few simple keystrokes. You can revert to the original programming at any time.

The MapTuner has a number of bonus features, all included as standard.

- Adjustable speed restrictor.
The speed restrictor can be set to anything between 50 and 300 kph in 10 kph increments.

- Shift up lamp (manual transmission only, only 9-3 2003 4-cyl)
A shift up lamp will appear whenever it is more economical to use a higher gear. It will also appear if you are approaching the rev limiter.

- Fault code reader .
If your Check Engine light is lit, the MapTuner is able to read the fault code and erase it with a few key strokes.

- Wheel circumference
Different wheels have different circumference. With the MapTuner you can easily calibrate the car so that the speedometer is accurate.

When you buy a MapTuner, your email address will be registered with the MapTun Performance server. Whenever there’s a new version of your software you will receive an email telling you to synchronise the MapTuner with the server. This way your car will always have the latest version of the software!

At an additional cost, you can upgrade your software to a higher tuning stage. The software is easily downloaded to the MapTuner via the online service. Up to four different software’s can be contained in the MapTuner. This is a good option if you are lending the car to a friend, having it serviced or inspected. It makes it possible to “de-tune” the car without actually removing any hardware.
