GAN GA+: video review and installation
All the functions of the tuning module and smartphone control, plus installation in the OBD port from unboxing to first start.
I bought the GAN module a few months ago and I'm really happy with it. I use it on a hybrid car, the Cery Tiggo 8 Pro Max, to get a bit more pep on the highway when the battery is low. With this module in Dynamic mode, even at higher speeds, the combustion engine can always keep a reserve charge in the battery, giving me a boost for overtaking. It's exactly what this car needed.
Bought the GAN GA for my 2002 Porsche 996.2. It gives a noticeable improvement in throttle response, which I really like. I also feel like there is some more power in the mid range as well, but I doubt top end power has increased much.
All in all, for the cost of the unit and the ability to swap tune files if I put it in another car, I recommend the product.
The only negative experience I have noticed, is that the car needs a few more turns on the starter before firing up, something I read another Porsche owner also commented on. If this can be fixed in a software update I will rate it 5 out of 5 stars.
I installed this product on my Ford Puma (1999) and have had a very positive experience so far. The device works reliably and connects without any issues. It provides useful information and has made monitoring my vehicle much easier.
Pros:
* Quick and easy installation.
* Reliable connection with the vehicle.
* Accurate and useful vehicle data.
* User-friendly smartphone app.
* Good value for money.
Cons:
* The initial pairing process took a few minutes.
* Some advanced features could be explained better in the app.
Installation Experience:
Installation was straightforward and took less than 10 minutes. I simply connected the device, followed the instructions in the app, and everything was up and running quickly. No special technical knowledge was required.
Vehicle:
Ford Puma 1999. The product was recognized immediately and worked well with my vehicle without any compatibility problems.
Smartphone App:
The app is easy to use and has a clean layout. Connecting the device to my smartphone was simple, and all important information is easy to find. The app runs smoothly and provides clear, real-time data.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this product and would recommend it to other drivers looking for an easy-to-install and reliable solution for monitoring their vehicle.
I purchased the GAN module a month ago and I’m very satisfied. It boosted my car power and reduced the fuel consumption. I have a Hyundai IX35 4wd automatic.
The app to manage the module settings is intuitive and easy to use on my iPhone.
I purchased the GAN tuning device for my Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce 1.75T. The device was easy to install and set up, took around 1 hour with no issues other than finding a suitable place to mount the box under the bonnet. GAN claim that in sport mode it adds an extra 65hp, to the existing 241hp, I was sceptical that this was achievable, but being a turbo bosted engine I was sure there would be some noticeable improvement in performance. WOW WOW WOW...the little Alfa was reasonably quick from the factory, but I was shocked at the performance gains from this inexpensive tuning box. The engine builds boos quicker from low revs and will spin the wheels withh roll on acceleration in 1st and 2nd gear. The car is now a super hot hatch and an absolute blast to drive. I have done plenty of performance modifications on my cars over the years, but this is by far the best performance upgrade I have done for this amount of money. Absolutely super impressed with the results.
I recently purchased a GAN GA+ module, for a Skoda Fabia 1.4 101 hp. It DOES increase the power and the response, mostly on the mid revs, that this 16v engine was a bit flimsy. As a result there is a better drivability in an urban environment, when immediate acceleration is needed. It also increases somewhat the engine noise on acceleration, naturally resulting by the extra power. I did NOT see any extra power on the high end of the rev spectrum. As a result I did NOT see any increase in the final speed of the approx 190+ km/h in natural state. Power mode increases slightly the consumption, indicating that the changes in performance are exact and the engineering is correct. Eco mode is exactly the meaning. Less consumption and somewhat less power on any revs.
Installed it to my Qashqai 1.6 dci, from the third day that I completed the 120km that was necessary for the chip to adapt with the engine is like I'm driving a new car!!! Haven't done any Dyno to it but the difference is massive!!! Car now pulls better than ever before! Very pleased with the product and surely later on I will buy again!!
I fitted Gan GT on my 2012 Peugout 508 SW GT. Really impressed with the car performance after being fitted. EZ to fix and Gan GT apps is user friendly.
Very easy plug and play instalation. Very intuitive and understandable product. You can use it on several cars, I use it on Mazda cx30 2.0 and Mazda CX 5 2.5, both naturally aspirated engines.
It feels quicker from low rpms, better acceleration and feels like turbo model. Also, in eco mode consumtion is lower.
We think that is worth the money. Go Gan, you deserve 5 star. Its a very good product. We thought that atmosferic motors are non tuning, but you proved that it is possible to gain some additional Nm and hors power.
Purchased the GAN for my Porsche Cayenne S Diesel. Initially installation looked very simple with easy access to the fuel rail and a diagram indicating the position of the turbo boost sensor. Unfortunately access to this sensor was very limited. I tried removing the inner wing liner, no good, removed the head light not possible despite assurances from GAN. The remaining alternative appeared to require the removal of the front bumper, a task I was reluctant to take on. My solution was to cut a small hole in the plate below the headlight giving me sufficient access to the boost sensor without affecting the integrity of the headlight mounting.
First impressions on start up were very good my phone connected quickly and the engine ran smoothly. Performance has significantly improved with no obvious deterioration of the fuel consumption when in dynamic mode. I have not tried the economy mode but I like the fact that you can instantly switch as and when required.
Only change noticed is the engine takes a couple more turns of the starter before bursting into life.
The company was quick to respond with technical help during my installation but their advice did not solve or really understand the issue.

I've been using the Gan Ga+ external tuning box for a few weeks now, and the results have been impressive. It's been fitted to a Skoda Octavia 1.6 MPI. Fuel economy has noticeably improved (above 10%), and the engine feels much more responsive, especially during acceleration. It's a great upgrade that delivers real performance and efficiency benefits without any hassle. It has even passed official technical inspection with no issues. Highly recommended!
I recently bought GAN GA+ for Subaru Outback 2024.
Since then (1300km approximately) I'm driving only in dynamic mode and a little bit faster throttle response and fuel economy of 8-10% are noticeable.
It would be very convenient if GAN team make the app visable in Android Auto!
The installation was super easy on my car (BMW e93). I followed the instructions and then drove for 120 km. After that, I used the App on my Android smartphone, chose Dynamic and it worked like a charm!
I noticed the difference immediately, at my first start. More power and more acceleration. Excellent product so far!
Hi everyone,
This is a preliminary review since the product is still under scrutiny.
However, delivery time and packaging were excellent, the same goes for the ease of installation and software control through Android mobile. Although I bought GAN GA+ for the purpose of reducing fuel consumption (eco mode), I have noticed a slight increase in power and torque the few times that I have switched it to "Dynamic" mode. As far as "Eco" mode is concerned I have noticed a smoother gear up/down shifting. Until now I haven't been able to actually measure the effect on fuel consumption. (Subaru Legacy III 2.0 AWD Automatic 125hp).
Will revert with final review in a month's time.
Cheers
Very quickly delivered from Germany. The installation is easy, noticeable more power. Maybe the app is slow to my android mobile. The fuel consumption is a bit lower,
Nissan 1.6 dci R9M
Super fast delivery. Product was well packaged and exactly as described. I have installed easy and I had support on email the GAN GT in my 150 HP Toyota RAV4 and it made in the performance improvement. The App on smartphones was very user-friendly. The support on email was very quick and I can set Custom parameters. However I also confirmed my in the seat experience by testing it on a dyno. Dyno testing confirms almost Dynamic 12, Sport 14 and Custom 16 additional HP to the wheels.
I installed it in a Porsche Panamera 3.6 V6. It was easy to install, and my phone connects to both the PDC and the GAN GA+ module at the same time, I can easily switch driving functions. The reduction in gas pedal reaction and the increase in torque in DINAMIC mode are particularly noticeable. I can drive at a higher speed with the same consumption in ECO mode.
The GAN GA+ dongle is obviously easy to plug in. After installing the device, I drove around normally for week, giving the device plenty of time to adapt to my driving style. My car is a Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R Spec, which has 429HP out of the box. The GAN GA+ promised an additional 34 HP 30 ft./lbs. which I cannot pretend to quantify without a dyno. What I can say is that this 4100 lb. beast breaks the rears loose easier than it did before. I didn't believe that the OEM would leave that much power for the aftermarket to find! Great unit!
It is excellent value for money product.
Easy to install. Big difference on the car performance.
Installed on Jeep Grand Cherokee Turbo Diesel 2015 model.
Highly recommended !
Installed on Subaru Impreza 2007 AWD 1.5i 107hp
Pros:
- Fast delivery
- Good build quality
- Easy to install with provided installation kit
- Easy to setup
- According to my opinion provides an increase in car performance
Cons:
- Phone App is very basic – It would be good to display at least some live engine data in the app to be visible the difference when you toggle between operation modes
- Part of Phone App interface is working weird – e.g., LED Off functionality is not a single button or slider but two separate buttons for OFF and ON, making it difficult to toggle on first try and could be annoying
- No notification in the App that the connection, calibrating and learning process are completed successfully or not. I cannot find any status information in the app you need to rely only on basic LED indications on the device itself which is not very practical if you intend to use the device constantly and wanted to mount it not to be visible.
Expectations clearly exceeded.
So far, I've used tuning modules for the turbocharged engines of the Subaru Legacy GT (2010) and the KIA Proceed (1.6 TGDi), as well as the corresponding naturally aspirated modules for the Nissan 370Z and the Chrysler Pacifica. In every vehicle, there was a clearly noticeable increase in performance. The KIA Proceed, in particular, benefits disproportionately from the additional horsepower thanks to its modest curb weight of 1438 kg. I didn't notice any fuel consumption advantage in Dynamic/Sport mode, but I did notice a significant increase in driving pleasure. The customer service via WhatsApp deserves real respect. They are attentive and courteous, something you'd hardly expect these days! I'm especially fascinated by the naturally aspirated modules. They seem to intervene on several levels. In addition to the improved tuning, there's also a sportier throttle response, which greatly enhances the subjective driving experience! In my Chrysler Pacifica, the somewhat outdated and sluggish automatic transmission was transformed with the GÄN-GA+ module into a significantly more spontaneous and responsive shifting experience, comparable to the current ZF 8-speed automatic (similar to the one in my BMW)! I was, and still am, truly speechless. I am more than satisfied with all the products I've purchased so far and have already recommended GÄN several times. They will definitely be my go-to source for future projects as well.
Received my GanGa+ device yesterdayand so far am very satisfied with the performance it has shown!Petrol consumtion went down at once,from upper 8.7-9.1 to7.0-7.3 and the engine seemed "calmer"while overtaking on the highway,no high rpm like earlier!
Think I made a very good purcase!!👍👍👍
Best regards,
Anders Axelsson
İt definitely worked on my Mazda 3 88kw 2014 especially in low and mid range. By the way my car's engine is not appropriate for chip tuning. Box type tuning was my last chance and I'm glad that I have found Gan tuning box. Engine is livelier now. Thank you Gan Tuning!
Hi, I'm happy with the product I bought. I've been driving a 2017 Peugeot 3008, 1.6 Blue HDI.
Installation was relatively easy, except for the connector at the back of the engine near the windshield, which was a bit tricky to access.
The app on your phone is very easy to use. However, sometimes when I start the engine and open the app, it doesn't connect immediately. I have to reselect the GAN model and car type, and after pressing Apply, the connection is established quickly.
I still haven't noticed the difference between Sport mode and Dynamic mode, which is what it's currently set to.
The car ford focus mk1 1.6 came to life. The torque increased and you think you have a lower gear in the gearbox as the engine speed increased at full throttle. I am happy with the whole thing. The installation was plug and play like putting your phone on charge
Hello,
today I installed the tuning box in our Kia Sorento. The photo of the engine that was sent to me beforehand made the installation much easier. The installation and app setup were also very simple and well-guided. The first test drive went well, and the increased power/torque is noticeable. I will recommend your product. I switched from RaceChip to Gän-Tuning because, in retrospect, RaceChip's after-sales service wasn't good. I haven't regretted it.
Very easy installation. The increased torque has a positive effect on the shifting behavior of the automatic transmission. Fuel consumption is reduced by approximately 1 liter. Overall, a worthwhile investment.
(Mitsubishi Spyder 2.4L engine - 163 hp)
Delivery OK.
Performance (naturally aspirated Mazda 3 petrol, 122 hp) in ECO mode: only a slight increase in power, no reduction in fuel consumption!, but MUCH more pleasant to drive (smoother acceleration; Mazda has poorly tuned the engine). In Dynamic mode, noticeably more power, but about 20% higher fuel consumption!
Bottom line: Price/performance ratio is perfectly fine.
I've already purchased my second chip from GÄN and installed it in my third car. I drive American V8 engines with correspondingly high power, but always naturally aspirated. In my first car (a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, 6.4L), I noticed the increase in power during acceleration and a slight increase in top speed. In my second car, an older 5.7L Chevy Tahoe, I noticed the same changes. I bought the new chip for my new Corvette C7 Grand Sport 6.2L. Since I haven't driven it much yet, I expect to see the same improvements, perhaps because the newest car also has a slightly better fuel economy. Installation is incredibly easy. Adjusting the settings via the app is also self-explanatory. The price-performance ratio is excellent. I've already recommended it to a friend with a German V8. The transaction and communication were good.
Ordered online, fast delivery, part is well-made, even includes support for my car (hardly found this elsewhere, and if so, it was significantly more expensive), easy installation without problems. Since I only have a small engine, the change isn't huge, but I think it's still noticeable (I'll test it on a dynamometer when I get the chance).
Super fast delivery. Product was well packaged and exactly as described. I have installed the GAN GT in my 280 HP 2017 Alfa Romeo Q4 and it absolutely made a noticeable in the driver seat performance improvement. However I also confirmed my in the seat experience by testing it on a dyno. Dyno testing (shown below) confirms almost 20 additional HP to the wheels. If you are looking for a legit chip tuning unit, you should definitely checkout GAN.
A bit sceptic at first , but now using the GAN module for about 2 weeks and the little Citroen C1 definitely has a a better performance at lower rpm , definitely faster from start to cruise speed and more comfortable in overtaking at highway-speeds without gearing back as previously needed.The money well worth !
Questions about chip tuning the Mazda CX-5 II 2.5i 194 hp
How much power does tuning add to the Mazda CX-5 II 2.5i 194 hp?
With the GAN GA+ or GAN GA: +23 hp and +31 Nm, from 194 hp / 257 Nm to 217 hp / 288 Nm. These figures are for this engine version, not “up to” values.
GAN GA or GAN GA+: which should I choose?
Both give the same gain: +23 hp and +31 Nm. The GAN GA+ adds smartphone control, three driving modes, up to 15% lower fuel consumption, a 5-year warranty and a 2-year engine warranty (for cars registered in Germany). The GAN GA has one mode, up to 10% lower fuel consumption and a 2-year warranty.
Is it safe for the 2.5i?
The module works within the engine’s factory safety margins, and the ECU and its protections stay active. The GAN GA+ comes with a 2-year engine warranty for cars registered in Germany.
Does the GAN module leave any traces in the car?
No. The module does not change the factory ECU software, so nothing is written to the ECU memory. One tap on OFF in the app returns the car to factory settings, and the module can be removed in about a minute with no traces left.
What if I don’t feel a difference?
You have a 50-day test drive: return the tuning module and get your money back, excluding delivery costs.
Tuning module or ECU remap: what is the difference for the Mazda CX-5 II 2.5i?
An ECU remap rewrites the software in the engine control unit. The GAN GA and GAN GA+ plug into the OBD port: the factory ECU software stays unchanged, and the module can be removed at any time.
2-year engine warranty
covers the engine, not just the module; for cars registered in Germany
50-day test drive
no difference? Money back, excluding delivery costs
