Car Forum / Saab Cars / February 2006Chipping Saab 9000 CSE Turbo
I'm about to buy a 1995 model Saab 9000 CSE Turbo. I understand that the engines can be quite easy to chip but not quite sure how to proceed. Does anyone know any good companies in the UK that might be able to help? Thanks. > I'm about to buy a 1995 model Saab 9000 CSE Turbo.

Check the link: http://www.maptun.com/suppliers.php?cy=str_greatbritain Maptun is one of the swedish tuners, who knows the most about Saab's - very serious company.

I did wonder about chipping my 2.3LPT a couple of years ago but bottled out because of insurance issues. Oh, and domestic pressure :o( Many companies are now aware of the practice of chipping, and (not surprisingly mebbe!) increase your premium accordingly. Of course if you 'forget' to tell them and subsequently have a claim, many are well enough clued up to find out for themselves, and the insurance is void! After 6 years I now accept that the car is plenty quick enough for me as it is - but then I'm one of those old gits over 50! > > Thanks Henrik - I will have a look - if any country knows how to tune > > Saabs it's the Swedes! > > but then I'm one of those old gits over 50! How old do you think Erik Carlsson is these days? And he is still on the testing team.

That's not the first time I've heard that said. That, and Abbott are certainly very expensive for almost anything and it seems that the "Abbott" badge is like a "Hilfiger" in car terms. It's a pointless "I can afford it" label. Maptun is certainly more highly spoken of. I wonder whether the software for the 9000s and beyond could be "opened" in the way that the likes of Anders and Widde (of 900 Aero dot com) have helped open up APC? It can't be too hard, can it?

I usually like to do a comparison of products, prices, and services offered before parting with my money. I suggested the Abbott web-site purely as a source of information for anyone wanting to do such a comparison. So, has there been some legal action regarding the relationship between Maptun and Abbott products? Pretty strong stuff to accuse a company of corporate theft on a newsgroup Henrik! > So, has there been some legal action regarding the relationship between > Maptun and Abbott products? Pretty strong stuff to accuse a company of > corporate theft on a newsgroup Henrik! Here it is - from Maptun - in swedish. Dunno if you can Babelfish it: "Ett Engelskt Saab trimnings företag har marknadsfört sig av att sälja minst en kopia av Maptuns programvaror till Saab 9-5 B205E steg1, utan Maptun´s vetskap eller medgivande. Trimföretaget har sålt detta som sitt eget, och programmet ifråga är en exakt kopia av Maptuns steg 1 till denna Bilmodell. Alla parametrar är identiska i programvaran jämfört med Maptuns steg1. Även Immobiliser koden Hardware no: vilken är unik för varje bilmodell är exakt lika med den hårdvaru kod, som Maptun läst ur originalbil i Sverige för två år sedan. Chassi nummer är dock ändrat. Detta har nu framkommit efter att vi fått tillbaka ett styrdon som utbytes från kund i Asien. Kunden har tidigare informerat att han hade köpt steg1 från denna firma och vilket han skulle skicka tillbaka till oss som utbytes. Trimföretagets Logga och annan information finns också på styrdonet. Det är tråkigt när företag använder sig av sådana metoder, så vi vill därför publicera detta. " Cheers! ...first attempt at online translation just lost too much sense in the process, though I may give it another try. The gist of it seemed to be that there were certain unique identifiers in the Maptun product or maybe coding of the software that also appeared to be present in Abbott version. Don't know if it has got as far as the law courts though... >> So, has there been some legal action regarding the relationship between >> Maptun and Abbott products?

Correct. > Don't know if it has got as far as the law courts though... I don't believe so, as I don't think Maptun wants to waste money on a cross-country lawsuit.

Yes! How about Frederik's 9000 2,3 CSE(Maptun employee) - 590 Bhp!!!!!!!!!! Signature----------------------------------- Dyrlægebiler - Det intelligente valg |
