This 2005 Alfa Romeo 166 has a 2.4 JTD turbo diesel and a five-speed automatic transmission. It arrived with ECU software that had already been modified, so a comparison with the factory calibration was not available.

We checked the existing file and prepared our own Stage 1 calibration for the car. The video notes that the DPF and EGR systems were already absent or disabled; this is not described as work carried out during this visit.

After programming, the dyno recorded 200 hp and 490 Nm. Because the car had already been tuned before it arrived, these results do not establish the gain over the factory software.
