About the Alfa Romeo 156

About the Alfa Romeo 156

The Alfa Romeo 156 is considered a compact executive car produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Alfa Romeo. It used to be introduced at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show as the replacement for the Alfa Romeo 155. The 156 received a positive reception and in the following year went on to win the 1998 European Car of the Year award. The 156 saloon used to be discontinued in Europe late in 2005, while the Q4 Crosswagon continued in production until the end of 2007.

Why Stage 1 for the 1.9 JTD 150hp

Our Stage 1 calibration is designed for a completely stock vehicle — no hardware changes required. In practice this delivers a safe and reversible improvement in drivability.

Typical gains on healthy examples are from around 150 HP to 185 HP and from 305 Nm to 380 Nm (indicative; varies by condition).

What we do

  • Initial diagnostics and a full backup of the original ECU file
  • Calibration of timing/fuelling, torque limiters and boost strategies
  • Throttle response and power delivery refinement with a focus on smoothness
  • Road testing and post-map parameter checks

Safety and Warranty

We follow a conservative approach, maintaining thermal and mechanical margins to protect longevity.

The process is fully reversible (factory file can be restored) and requires no physical modifications.

Summary

A Stage 1 remap turns the Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 JTD 150hp into a more responsive daily driver while keeping stock-like manners.
