Karl is the real deal. Knowledgable, enthusiastic and extremely helpful. I cant recommend him enough. My 2.0T 9-3 Aero... was remapped by him approximately 6 months ago and has been performing majestically ever since! - More usable power, torque and economy. Hard to believe you can get a genuine additional 40bhp power boost without any snags or expensive modifications to the car - but that's what you get - the best £90 I've ever spent on a vehicle and I've spent quite a bit on car upgrades in the past! - So if you are at all worried about "messing about with your car" dont be, as you can trust Karl. Call him, tell him what you require and book an appointment for a remap. He knows his stuff and you wont regret it!read more

I bought a Vauxhall corsa B, b235r viggen powered from Mark Carby, it has a noobtune stage 3 map on it plus Karl did... lots of other crazy stuff to get the ecu to run in this car, I’m told it was quite a job but Karl took it in his stride and did it with ease!. The car is mental it flies I have owned big power cars in the past but this is something very different I would highly highly recommend Karl’s work to anyone, a very clever guy that knows exactly what he is doing. Not much more I can say apart from get it done asap for miles of smiles 👌😊read more

Just received my stage 1 tuned ECU back from Noobtune. Sent it off on Tuesday and got it back Friday morning. Easy to... remove and fit as per Karl’s instructions. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! The car is a Saab 1.8T ‘56 plate and it’s been revitalised. The car pulls at lower revs and 3rd gear is a joy as it accelerates far quicker. On the motorway 5th has so much more power. The torque increase is hugely noticeable throughout the gears. If you’ve not Noobtuned your Saab with Karl you’re missing out!read more

I got a stage 2 map from Karl for my 9-5 2.0T running 250hp, feels very fast and is not much worse on fuel than when I... got the car first (2.0t stage 1) Karl is absolutely great to deal with, fast service and very fairly priced.also having the open Sid makes life easy trying to sort little non-map related teething issues!now, the question is, do I need a downpipe and a stage 3 map? 😅read more

Been today to have my 9-3 1.8t remapped to stage one. 2hr drive but well worth it, Wow, literally wow! What a... difference, can't thank or recommend Karl enough, what this guy doesn't know about saabs, isn't worth knowing.

karl did a stage one remap on my 2008 9-3, 2.0t auto this morning .From standstill the car is a completely different... beast !! No more waiting for the gearbox to gather momentum & for the first time in this car I experienced torque steer 😂Mid range is now far more eager & can gain much more pace for much less throttle input.For what Karl charges for this service I fail to see how you can go wrong.Great service from a guy who knows what he's doing. Highly recommendedread more

I cannot recommend enough.read more

Immediate... acknowledgement of any common issues from symptoms and looking over engine (spark plugs/hoses) which were both faults on my car which I was unaware of but once changed made a huge difference. Map is much smoother and instantaneous delivery with huge torque increase to the standard 9-5 Aero 2004. Keep up the great work Karl. Happy new year buddy. Tom.read more
