More gains being made on our four-wheel drive dyno, this time from this Volkswagen Golf GTD TDI 2.0 181bhp.
Putting our new dyno to good use and throwing down some pretty decent results once once fitted with our Bluespark Pro + Boost chip tuning box.
The stock run provides us with some pretty accurate claims from VW, as it was bang on the stock figure claims from them, for this 2016 Golf GTD TDI 2.0.
You can see it ran 181hp with 379Nm of torque. VW claim this to be 181hp with 380Nm at stock, so it's great to see some consistency from their claims here.
Dyno testing before and after shows healthy gains across the rev range, with a significant increase in power and torque.
Low down torque with our unit is greatly improved. At stock the engine produced 379Nm and now 471Nm with the box installed, bringing those gains in a lot sooner than before.
Peak power was also increased. The engine produced 181hp from stock and now 225hp with the box installed, showing consistency through the rev range.

Our awesome new dyno being put to good use as we tested this amazing BMW M2 Comp after it was fitted with our 3 Channel Pro Petrol chip tuning box.
It’s the same story with the M cars, already an absolute powerhouse producing some really impressive figures from stock. But here at Bluespark we always like to unlock the cars real potential...
Dyno testing before and after shows healthy gains across the rev range, with a significant increase in power and torque, really transforming the car with some next level power.
Peak power had an incredible increase, as we were able to add an extra 100hp! The engine produced 415hp from stock, and now 515hp with the box, showing consistency right through the rev range.
Low down torque with our unit is also greatly improved. At stock the engine produced 614Nm, and now 702Nm with the box. Stock figures of torque are slightly higher than manufacturer quoted (at 550Nm), but that isn't especially unusual for one of these as they can usually push strong stock

We recently had this Ford Transit Custom 340 2.0 131hp come to us here at Bluespark HQ. It had a speed limiter installed, stopping the van from keeping up with motorway traffic. We soon had it booked in for a custom tune, along with our Pro + Boost chip tuning box.
We dyno tested it with multiple runs to monitor the progress throughout the process.Firstly, we ran a complete stock run to see what the Transit was producing at stock level with no amount of tune applied.
After running the Transit on the dyno at stock, we then connected to the ECU and removed the speed limiter. We then upgraded the ECU from Ford’s stock 131hp version and installed the more powerful 170hp version. So in theory, the van would now operate from a 170hp stock level, meaning we can tune from this point onwards.
Dyno testing before and after those first set of upgrades, show a decent amount of gains, with an increase in power and torque.
The results showed peak power raise from 133hp at stock, to 158hp with the

Another hot-hatch dyno day for us here at Bluespark HQ, with this KIA ProCeed GT after it was fitted with our Bluespark Pro Petrol chip tuning box.
These plucky little things were Koreas first attempt at an actual Hot-Hatch, set to rival the Golf GTI and the Focus ST.The engine already delivers decent figures from stock, with KIA claiming over 200hp (it ran closer to 194hp on the dyno), along with 285Nm of torque. However, now our Bluespark Pro Petrol box is installed, it has a much more punchier 224hp with 320Nm of torque, taking it to the next level of Hot-Hatch gains.
Dyno testing shows healthy gains across the rev range, with a decent amount of increase in power and torque. We found that these results were pretty decent and the gains remained fairly strong, considering the car was running 95RON fuel. We expect even greater gains could be achieved when running this again using 99RON fuel.A reduction in turbo lag and power applied right through the rev range, it now has a much more
