Tuning solutions for your ECU locked BMW M3
We recently had the pleasure of tuning and dyno 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.
As you’ll have seen from our recent posts, the recurring issue that all 2021+ BMW drivers face, is the tuning limitations due to the locked ECU. This G81 M3 Touring 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.
Let’s see how that dyno test went:
POWER 521hp >>> 649hp
TORQUE 708Nm >>> 858NmWe made some ever so slight adjustments to the mapping in our 3 Channel Pro Petrol Module, and the results speak for themselves. Now pushing 649hp with 858Nm of torque at its

Also, 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 F74 220 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 170HP >>> 220HP
TORQUE 280Nm >>> 360NmNot only do we lift those peak figures, but we really delve into where those gains are applied. It now delivers a much punchier 220hp with 360Nm of torque. Bringing those gains in sooner right down

In our latest dyno test we have this 2021 F40 BMW 128ti in for tuning and testing. The 128ti shares the same underpinnings as the M135ix that we have already seen a lot of on this channel, so we know this variant of the B48 is very capable. 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 F40 128ti 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.

Custom ECU tuning solutions for your Audi
We recently had this 2012 Audi TT TFSI in for tuning and testing. With the vehicle now way out of warranty, the customer opted for a full custom ECU tune, meaning we could squeeze ever so slightly more out of the engine, rather than using one of our tuning modules.

In our latest dyno test we have this 2024 Audi A4 35 TFSI 2.0 in for tuning and testing. After an installation of our Pro Petrol SENT chip tuning box, it was up on the rollers to see what the engine could achieve.
It’s also worth mentioning that 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. Not only that, but as this is a brand-new vehicle, it can remain totally warranty friendly as it has the added benefit of being traceless once removed.
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 151hp at stock, up to 202hp with the box. If you take a look at the dyno graph below you can see how we change that curve
