Here we install our 3 Channel Pro Petrol chip tuning box to this G80 BMW M3 Competition.
These 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. You can find the box featured in this video here: https://bluesparkautomotive.com/bmw-m3-competition-2993-510ps-petrol

Tuning solutions for your ECU locked Ford Transit
We recently had this brand new, late 2024 registered Ford Transit Custom 2.0 EcoBlue 136ps in for tuning and dyno testing. As is the case with later Transits, from 2019 onwards they use specific ECUs which are currently still locked. This means that ECU remapping is impossible, due to the security protection written within the ECU. This is why our module is the perfect solution, providing good quality gains in power and torque, all whilst the ECU remains untouched.
Dyno Test Results:
POWER 132hp >>> 161hp
TORQUE 348Nm >>> 397NmNot only have we raised those peak figures, but we really delver into where those gains are applied. We provide real consistency here, lifting every part of the rev range, increasing power and torque exactly where it’s needed and really transforming how it now feels out on the road.

Tuning solutions for your Range Rover
This awesome Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography stopped by to get our Pro + Boost box installed. Back out on the road in less than 30 minutes, the customer was already experiencing that lifted performance.
POWER 256HP >>> 311HP
TORQUE 600Nm >>> 696NmNow pulling much harder right through the revs, we’ve significantly reduced turbo lag whilst providing much improved consistency across the entire rev range.

In our latest dyno test we have this awesome 2019 Jaguar F-Type 3.0 V6 R-Dynamic in for tuning and testing. Quoted stock figures show 340ps with 450Nm of torque powered by that 3.0 supercharged V6, so we know we’ve got a pretty good base to work from. After an installation of our Pro Petrol chip tuning box, it was up on the rollers to see what the engine could achieve.
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 341hp at stock, up to 397hp with the box. If you take a look at the dyno graph below you can see how we change that curve (dotted red and blue lines). We give real consistency here, lifting every part of the rev range, right up to that top end where we provide that additional +56hp at its peak, really transforming how it feels out on the road.
Torque also saw some impressive improvements. At stock the engine

Tuning solutions for your Volvo
We recently had this 2018 Volvo XC40 2.0 D4 in for an installation of one of our specialised Pro + Boost i-ART tuning modules. This particular engine uses the i-ART system. In short, it uses pressure feedback from each fuel injector, allowing to continuously monitor and adapt fuel injection, ensuring the ideal amount of fuel is injected per combustion cycle, in each of the four cylinders.
Due to the technology used here, we use our specialised tuning module to connector to each of the four injectors, as well as the boost sensor.
POWER 190hp >>> 235hp
TORQUE 400Nm >>> 464NmNot only have we raised those peak figures, but we really delve into where those gains are applied. Bringing them in as soon as possible, whilst giving real consistency throughout the entire rev range, we really lift that whole mid-section, transforming how it now feels out on the road.

Tuning solutions for your MINI Cooper
We recently had this 2015 MINI Cooper S in for tuning and dyno testing. After a quick installation of our 3 Channel Pro Petrol module with Bluetooth Control, it was up on the rollers to see what we could achieve.
POWER 192hp >>> 266hp
TORQUE 280Nm >>> 421NmNot only have we raised those peak figures, but we really give consistency across the whole of the rev range, providing those increases exactly where it’s needed. The customer had also mentioned the possibility of future hardware upgrades, so the Bluetooth Control is perfect here, as we can send remote updates to make those tweaks as and when its needed.

A common question that we often get asked is regarding the use of certain hardware modifications like upgrading the air filters for example, and what difference they make to performance.
Changing or upgrading the air filter to an aftermarket set up, is usually one of the easiest and simplest forms of modification. There are many myths surrounding the topic, so lets see what the actual figures look like up on the dyno.
We recently had a BMW G80 M3 in for tuning and dyno testing, and the customer had purchased some Pipercross foam panel filters for us to install along with our tuning module. We first dyno tested the car stock, with no upgrades or tune applied. We then installed our tuning module and dyno tested again to see what gains had been made. We then installed the panel filters and ran it again on the dyno to see what differences there were. We then made several tweaks in the configuration of our module and ran it for further tests. The results were pleasantly surprising…

Tuning solutions for your ECU locked BMW
We recently had this brand new 2024 G21 BMW 330e in for an installation of our 3 channel pro petrol 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 G21 330e is no different and currently has 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.
POWER 292hp >>> 399hp
TORQUE 420Nm >>> 617NmDyno data pulled from a recent test of a similar G20 330e using the exact same engine set up, gave the figures above. Now delivering a much punchier 399hp with 617Nm of torque, bringing those gains in sooner right down from those lower revs, whilst really opening up that midsection, giving improvements
