Tuning solutions for your Renault with Bluetooth controllability
We recently had this 2016 Renault Megane GT 1.6 TCE in for an installation of our Pro Petrol tuning module with Bluetooth Control. This is particularly useful as the driver can easily switch between settings without the need to remove or configure the box, giving that added convenience. Back out on the road in less than 30 minutes, the customer was instantly benefitting from that lifted performance.

Post 2020 BMW ECU Unlocks via Autotuner
If you own a modern BMW and have been looking into performance tuning, you may have already discovered that many post-2020 BMW ECUs are locked. In this guide, we explain what that means, how to check your ECU date, how the Autotuner unlock process works, and why a Bluespark tuning box is often the faster, simpler alternative.

Tuning solutions for your VW, with Bluetooth controllability
We recently had this VW T5 2.0 TDI in for an installation of our Pro + Boost box with Bluetooth Control. This is particularly useful as the driver can easily switch between settings without the need to remove or configure the box, giving that added convenience. Back out on the road in less than 30 minutes, the customer was instantly benefitting from that lifted performance.

Here we install our Pro Petrol chip tuning box to this 2025 Volvo V60 2.0 B4.
For those looking to get even more from their Volvo, owners will find tuning limitations due to the locked ECU, with no way to read or write the ECU data. This means that while traditional remapping is impossible, our tuning module offers the perfect solution here, providing fantastic gains without requiring a traditional ECU flash. This has the added benefit of being traceless once removed for warranty purposes.

Tuning solutions for your ECU locked BMW
We recently had this 2021 BMW M135i xDrive in for an installation of our tuning module. As you’ll have seen from several of our recent posts, the recurring issue that all 2021+ BMW drivers face, is the tuning limitations due to the locked ECU. This F40 M135i is no different and currently has no way to read or write the ECU data, without removing the physical ECU and shipping off to be unlocked. Our tuning module offers the perfect solution here, providing fantastic gains without requiring a traditional ECU flash. This has the added benefit of being traceless once removed for warranty purposes.

Tuning solutions for your VW Golf R
We recently had this 2025 Golf R in for an installation of our tuning module. We’ve conducted extensive development on the 2.0 Evo engine, so already know it’s tuning capabilities. After a quick installation of our specialised SENT petrol module, the driver was back out, already experiencing those instant performance increases.

In our latest dyno test we have this 2018 VW Golf 1.5 TSI 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 Golf 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 pretty bang on to what the manufacturer quote, showing 148hp and 253Nm 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 the software, adjusting

Tuning solutions for your ECU locked BMW
We recently had this awesome BMW M340i in for an installation of our tuning module. As you’ll have seen from several of our recent posts, the recurring issue that all 2021+ BMW drivers face, is the tuning limitations due to the locked ECU. This G20 M340i is no different and currently has no way to read or write the ECU data, without removing the physical ECU and shipping off to be unlocked. Our tuning module offers the perfect solution here, providing fantastic gains without requiring a traditional ECU flash. This has the added benefit of being traceless once removed for warranty purposes.
POWER 387HP >>> 441HP
TORQUE 500Nm >>> 745NmDyno data pulled from our testing of the M340i, gave the figures above. Now delivering a much stronger 441hp with an extra 245Nm of peak torque from quoted figures, lifting it to 745Nm. We bring those gains in sooner, right down from those lower revs, whilst really opening up that midsection, giving improvements right

95 RON and 99 RON fuel is something that is debated heavily in the tuning world. It’s not always clear if there is a huge difference between them, meaning you could be missing out on certain benefits.
In its most simplest terms, RON is the octane rating which serves as an indicator of fuel stability. It’s a measure of the fuel's ability to resist "knocking" or pre-ignition within the engine. Knocking happens when the air-fuel mixture in the engine ignites too early or unevenly. This can reduce efficiency and, over time, potentially damage the engine. With higher octane rating fuel, the fuel is more resistant to this unwanted combustion.
In the video below, we test the real-world performance difference between 95 RON and 99 RON fuel on two BMW G20 330e models. One is running 95 RON, and the other 99 RON. Both are tested at stock, and then again once we have installed our 3 channel chip tuning module.
Looking at the stock dyno graph below, we can see that the 330e running 95 RON produces
