Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech Stage 1 Remap

Name: Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech Stage 1 Remap
Brand: Citroen

On Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech turbo petrol engines a Stage 1 remap recalibrates the boost pressure, ignition timing, fuelling and torque limiter maps. No hardware is changed and the original software is backed up. The same engine is sold with different stock outputs across generations, so the gain depends on your version.

How much bhp does Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech chip tuning add?

It depends on the generation and the stock output. 1.2 PureTech engines with 82–110 bhp reach 92–145 bhp with a Stage 1 remap; the largest gain is +35 bhp (1.2 PureTech 110hp). Pick your version in the table below.

About the PSA 1.2 PureTech turbo (EB2DT / EB2ADT)

The 1.2 PureTech turbo is the three-cylinder turbo petrol of the Peugeot 208, 308, 2008, 3008, Citroën C3, C4, C5 Aircross, Opel Corsa, Astra and Crossland, offered from 110 to 155 hp. An award-winning design, it produces strong torque for its size.

How a Stage 1 remap works on the Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech

Stage 1 recalibrates boost, ignition advance and fuelling. The gain is clear on the 110 and 130 hp versions; mid-range acceleration and low-rev torque fill out. The calibration stays within exhaust temperature and knock limits.

Pre-remap checklist

Condition of the timing belt, which runs in oil, the best-known sensitive point of this engine.
Oil level and the correct oil specification.
Ignition coils and spark plugs.
Boost leaks and wastegate.

On engines past the belt replacement interval, the belt service comes first.

This section is based on GP Power ECU workshop experience; the power and torque figures come from the catalogue measurement above.

Frequently asked questions

How much bhp does Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech chip tuning add?

It depends on the generation and the stock output. 1.2 PureTech engines with 82–110 bhp reach 92–145 bhp with a Stage 1 remap; the largest gain is +35 bhp (1.2 PureTech 110hp). Pick your version in the table below.

What is the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 on the Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech?

Stage 1 is software only: no part of the car is changed and the figures in the table apply to this software. Stage 2 is software prepared for hardware changes such as the exhaust, intercooler or intake; the hardware comes first, then the software.

Will chip tuning damage the engine?

No. Values stay inside the safety margin the manufacturer leaves; engine, gearbox and turbo limits are not exceeded. Every file is verified with a road test and data logging. If the car needs maintenance first (worn injectors, blocked filter, weak clutch) we tell you before starting.

Will my fuel consumption go up?

With the same driving style it usually drops, because you hold the same speed at lower revs and less throttle. If you use the extra power, consumption naturally rises. It is down to your right foot.

How long does it take? Do I leave the car?

Most cars take 1–2 hours and you get the car back the same day; no need to leave it. Some models need the ECU removed, which takes longer — we tell you when booking.

Can I go back to stock later?

Yes. The original file is read and archived before any work. We restore the factory software free of charge whenever you ask.

What is checked on the Citroen C3 1.2 PureTech before remapping?

Before working on the PSA 1.2 PureTech turbo (EB2DT / EB2ADT) we check: Condition of the timing belt, which runs in oil, the best-known sensitive point of this engine. Oil level and the correct oil specification. Ignition coils and spark plugs. Boost leaks and wastegate. If something needs attention, maintenance comes first; the remap is applied to a healthy engine.
