CarBahn Performance Controller (CPC)
The CarBahn Performance Controller is an easy-to-install electronic control unit designed to significantly increase horsepower and torque on turbocharged vehicles. Its plug-and-play configuration provides a convenient performance upgrade without requiring a traditional ECU flash.
The controller uses Bluetooth connectivity to communicate with a smartphone application, providing access to selectable performance maps. The maps are designed for different fuel octane levels, with 91, 93, and 100 octane options available.
CarBahn also offers an optional powertrain warranty for the CPC.

Emissions Legality
CarBahn states that removing the catalytic converter, commonly accomplished through the use of catalyst-free downpipes, typically provides a power gain of approximately 2% based on its testing.
Operating without a catalyst can make it difficult to pass required emissions certification and may be illegal. Always comply with applicable emissions laws and regulations.
