CHanging or adding Hardware to your veHiCle
today, many tuning and styling products are found on the market with promises of huge power and
performance increase and we would like to share our view on some of these items as you are about
to tune your car with the ppC. all of BSr’s tuning kits are developed using stock engine configuration
(Stage 1) or using BSr 3” downpipe with sports catalyst in combination with BSr Sport Flow exhaust
system (Stage 3). Using other hardware will affect power, drivability and durability. in all tuning kits
found at www.bsr.se, all necessary hardware is listed that will ensure claimed power levels. Using
other hardware will result in BSr not being able to anticipate the results of the tuning procedure.
Changing air filter
When changing air filter, make sure that the filter has a filtration level and flow rate suited for the
power of the engine. all BSr air filters are qualified accordingly.
Changing exhaust system
Changing the exhaust system (cat-back) will improve performance if the back pressure levels are lower
than for stock system. Most modern cat-back systems branded as “sport exhaust” will provide this.
as a consequence, feel free to fit a cat-back system in combination with the BSr ppC.
Changing downpipe
Changing the downpipe to a larger diameter version generally gives a lower back pressure and as such
it should always be combined with proper software. BSr Stage 3 tuning kits are calibrated using BSr
3” downpipes and as a result of this, BSr’s downpipe is recommended for best performance.
Changing Bov (blow off valve)
Stock valves in modern cars are of high quality and function, thus there is no need to change them.
Many of the aftermarket Bovs actually offers less performance in comparison. “open air” Bovs are
not to be used in cars with air mass meters, i.e. all cars younger than 10 years. BSr ppC software is
calibrated for stock valves only.
Changing catalyst
the term “race catalyst” is sometimes used to describe a catalyst with high flow rates and low back
pressure. the majority of these catalysts achieve this by having inadequate catalyst function which
affects our environment in a negative way. Furthermore, it also might cause problems with the cars
internal diagnostic features. as a consequence, BSr will advice you not to use such a catalyst.
Changing sparkplugs
We recommend you to use stock spark plugs, in particular for Saab engines as they use the plugs for
misfire detection. Driving under hard conditions (track days, high speed highway driving), we recom-
mend you to change the plugs at a more frequent rate than what is described in the owner’s manual.
Changing intercooler (iC)
in BSr tuning kits where the stock intercooler has been found inadequate, an upgraded version is
offered. this also requires a re-calibration of the software and is therefore not recommended for other
cars than the ones having an intercooler in the tuning kit.

storage
ppC must not be exposed to water, moisture or condensation. Store it in a place free from dust and
vibrations. Do not store it near strong magnetic fields.

terms
of
agreement
1.
it is not allowed to open the unit, or in any form try to make a copy of the software or
hardware related to the ppC itself or the ppC 3 BSr tuning System, including the ppC Sync
program.
2.
it is not allowed to disassemble or reverse the ppC unit functions or ppC Sync functions.
3.
it is not allowed to use BSr software or coming software updates for reversed engineering
of an eCU.
4.
it is not allowed to use the ppC, or its software that is acquired from BSr, in any other way
than as described by BSr and/or the BSr staff.
5.
it is not allowed to read out the information in a tuned eCU, or the ppC, and by this try to
modify, copy, distribute or reproduce the BSr tuning software.
6.
if the eCU software is overwritten with any other tool than ppC, BSr cannot guarantee the
function with ppC later on.
if ppC has been exposed to anything set out above, BSr claims the right to expel the ppC and
its owner from all support, updates and access to BSr servers; the warranty will be void and any
refund will be denied. BSr can and will take legal actions against anyone who does not follow this
agreement. the ppC must be used as instructed by BSr.

petrol cars
BSr recommends you to use at least eU
98 octane (≈US 93 octane) no matter what
tuning stage you have or if the car is tuned
or not.
•
Cars with BSr Stage 1 or 2 can be run on
eU 95 (≈US 90), if approved by the car
manufacturer, but the result is increased
fuel consumption and less power than
indicated.
•
Cars with BSr Stage 3 or more
require
eU 98 (≈US 93) minimum.
diesel cars
only use high quality diesel.
ethanol cars
Drive carefully the first 5 minutes after
refuelling, when the system is adapting.
