PureTech is Citroen's badge for its turbo petrol engines. The Citroen petrol range is shared with Peugeot and Opel within Stellantis.
ECUs are standardised across Stellantis, so Citroen files often work on Peugeot/Opel/DS. The Citroen community in France and Western Europe has a large pool of Stage files.
