Here we install our Pro + Boost Diesel SENT chip tuning box to this 2022 BMW X1 xDrive23d.
Expected gains from our module on this engine are:
POWER 197HP >>> 232Nm
TORQUE 400Nm >>> 468NmThese vehicles currently have a locked ECU with no way to read or write the ECU data. This means that while traditional remapping is impossible, our tuning box can give owners the opportunity to make fantastic gains without requiring a traditional ECU flash. This has the added benefit of being traceless once removed for warranty purposes.
As shown in the installation guide, we will connect to the Rail sensor and the Boost sensor. To gain access to both sensors, you’ll need to remove the engine cover.

In our latest dyno test we have this awesome 2017 Abarth 595 in for custom ECU mapping. The customer also opted to include some pop and bangs as part of the mapping. The result is that we really maximise every part of the rev range, whilst adding a much more aggressive feel to how to now drives.
Firstly, we take the Abarth with completely stock mapping. We get it strapped up on to the rollers, and take it for the first set of tests to establish what the factory mapping is producing. You can see the stock dyno graph below. You can see that power and torque are both running pretty spot on to what the manufacturer quote, showing 161hp and 246Nm of torque. These are dialled in, so we know exactly what base we’re working from.
Once we are happy that we have everything logged and the stock figures entered, it’s time to connect to the ECU. We use our Autotuner system to connect directly on to the ECU. The process of this custom tune is very much a hands-on, ‘fine tweaking’ procedure. We make several

In our latest dyno test we have this awesome 2016 Audi SQ7 in for custom ECU mapping. We adjust the software and fine tune the results from the rolling road dyno testing, to really maximise every part of the rev range. The result… Some pretty impressive performance gains!!
Firstly, we take the SQ7 with completely stock mapping. We get it strapped up on to the rollers, and take it for the first set of tests to establish what the factory mapping is producing. You can see the stock dyno graph below. You can see that power and torque are both running ever so slightly higher than the manufacturer quote, showing 448hp and 910Nm of torque. These are dialled in, so we know exactly what base we’re working from.
Once we are happy that we have everything logged and the stock figures entered, it’s time to connect to the ECU. We use our Autotuner system to connect directly on to the ECU. The process of this custom tune is very much a hands-on, ‘fine tweaking’ procedure. We make several alterations to

Tuning solutions for your Hyundai
We recently had this 2025 Hyundai Tucson 1.6 T-GDI in for tuning and dyno testing. With some slight variances to the set up in these newer 1.6 T-GDI engines, we made some tweaks to our existing petrol module and developed a specific compatible set up. With dyno data to assist in this, we ensured that the software mapping was running as optimal as possible, making several adjustments throughout. Let’s see how it performed on the final adjustment:
Dyno Test Results
POWER 212HP >>> 251HP
TORQUE 355Nm >>> 474NmNow delivering 251hp, with an added 119Nm of extra torque, we have not only lifted those peak figures, but we really delve into where those gains are applied. Now pulling much harder right through the revs, we’ve significantly reduced turbo lag whilst providing much improved consistency across the entire rev range, really transforming how it now feels and responds out on the road.

In our latest dyno test we had this 2022 MINI JCW in for tuning and dyno testing. We’ve already conducted extensive development on these, so already know what that 2.0 B48 engine is capable of. After a quick installation of our 3 channel module, it was up on the rollers to see what gains had been made.
This F56 is also another example of a 2021+ BMW/MINI facing the tuning limitations due to the locked ECU, and currently has no way to read or write the ECU data. This means that while traditional remapping is impossible, our tuning box can give owners the opportunity to make fantastic gains without requiring a traditional ECU flash. This has the added benefit of being traceless once removed for warranty purposes.
Dyno testing before and after shows healthy gains across the rev range, with a significant increase in power and torque, really transforming how it feels to drive.
Peak power was increased, as we were able to lift it from 236hp at stock, up to 295hp with the box. If you take a look
