In our latest dyno test we had this awesome 2024 G20 BMW M340d MHEV in for tuning and testing. We’ve already conducted extensive development on these, so already know what the 3.0 B57 is capable of. After quick installation of our specifically designed Pro + Boost SENT chip tuning box, it was up on the rollers to see what the engine could achieve.
This G20 is also another example of a 2021+ BMW 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 the M340d feels to drive.
Peak power was significantly increased, as we were able to lift it from

We recently had this 2019 Vauxhall Combo in for our speed limiter removal service. A great example of what a noticeable difference we can make with our tuning services here at Bluespark.
The customer came to see us, after being plagued with speed limiter restrictions. As can be the case with many former fleet vehicles, you’ll find that they are restricted to 60mph or even 50mph. Whilst this is sufficient for local driving, it can make long distance motorway journeys unbearable, costing you time and money.
We remove the ECU, allowing us to bench tune it, and then connect it up to Autotuner to read out the file. We make some adjustments to the file, removing the speed limiter and increasing performance, and then flash it back to the ECU. We can then test the van to check the performance and ensure the limiter has been removed successfully.

Tuning solutions for your Vauxhall
We recently had this 2023 Vauxhall Astra GS 1.6 PHEV in for an installation of our Pro Petrol tuning module. Back out on the road in less than 30 minutes, the customer was instantly benefitting from that lifted performance.
POWER 180HP >>> 209HP
TORQUE 360Nm >>> 400NmNot only have we raised those peak figures, but we really delve into where those gains are applied. Now pulling much harder right through the revs, we give real consistency, lifting the whole mid-section, and really transforming how it now feels out on the road.

In our latest dyno test we have this 2021 G20 BMW 320i in for tuning and testing. We’ve already conducted extensive development on these, so already know what the 2.0 B48 is capable of. The 320i is detuned from the factory, but with a sensible safe tune, we can get similar figures to that of a stock 330i. After quick installation of our 3 Channel Pro Petrol chip tuning box, it was up on the rollers to see what the engine could achieve.
Now as you’ll have seen in some of our recent videos, the recurring issue that all 2021+ BMW drivers are facing, is the tuning limitations due to the locked ECU. This 2021 G20 3 Series 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 also has the added benefit of being traceless once removed for warranty purposes.

For our latest dyno test we have this brand new, late 2024 registered Ford Transit Custom 2.0 EcoBlue 136hp in for tuning and testing. After quick installation of our Pro + Boost chip tuning box, it was up on the rollers to see what the engine could achieve.
Now there has been a recent 'unlock' for the ECU used in these Transits. But with many years of warranty left, this customer opted for our module rather than a remap, allowing them to get the most out of the engine, without jeopardizing any warranty cover. Not only that, but they also wanted the option to be able to take the module with them for reprogramming, once they change vehicle in the future.
Check out the full installation of the module featured in this dyno test, here:
Dyno testing before and after shows healthy gains across the rev range, with a significant increase in power and torque, really transforming how the Transit feels to drive.
Peak power was increased, as we were able to lift it from 132hp at stock, up to 163hp

In our latest dyno test we had the pleasure of tuning and testing this incredible 2024 BMW G81 M3 Comp Touring. It goes without saying that it’s always great fun when we have a true ‘M’ car up on the rollers. As you can see, this was no different, as the G81 definitely has super unique styling. So it was a quick installation of our 3 Channel Pro Petrol chip tuning box, it was up on the rollers to see what the engine could achieve.
