Is a remap worth it on the Citroen C3 Gen 2 2011 2016?

This is one of the stronger candidates for a remap. The factory map leaves a lot on the table and a Stage 1 flash recovers most of it with no hardware.

What each stage needs

Stage	Power	Torque	Hardware
Standard	90 bhp	230 Nm	None
Stage 1	123 bhp	267 Nm	Software only

Risk on this engine: high

Very high 37% gain: approaching stock component limits.
Diesel: no knock risk. Primary risks are EGT, turbo health, and injector wear.

How to keep the risk down

Full engine health inspection mandatory.
Uprated intercooler and charge pipes required.
Oil cooler upgrade strongly advised.
Monitor EGT under hard driving: sustained temps above 700 C accelerate turbo wear.
DPF (if fitted) will accumulate soot faster: ensure it is in good condition.
Keep a copy of the original ECU file before flashing.
