Wayside Performance

Finally got round to tuning my own car. Mk7 Golf GTI, stock GPF model + Sprogley Motorsport intake kit.

Stock: 245hp / 310ft-lb
Tuned: 306hp / 360ft-lb

Kept the boost fairly low on this one. A couple of Nurburgring trips planned, so I wanted to know that I can beat down on it all day without thinking twice.

61hp and 50ft-lb gained on a conservative tune with the stock turbo.

There's more in it, another 10-20hp and 10-20ftIb quite comfortably.

Audi S3 8Y 2.0 TFSI in with us recently for a custom ECU and TCU tune.

The latest generation EA888 Gen 4 engine responds amazingly to tuning and this S3 is a perfect example. Fitted with R600 intake this car went on to make some unreal gains.

Stock: 330hp / 300ft-lb
Tuned: 421hp / 420ft-lb

91hp and 120ft-lb gained. The numbers on these really do speak for themselves.

The TCU tune is a big part of the story on the newer S3s. The ECU tune unlocks a lot of extra torque, but the stock DQ381 gearbox calibration isn't set up to handle it. Without increased clutch clamping pressures, we would have to run a lower torque map on the engine side to keep things safe.

The TCU tune solves that, increasing the clutch pressures so the gearbox can cope with the extra torque properly and letting us run the full calibration on the ECU side.

On these cars the TCU tune isn't just a nice addition, it's pretty much essential to get the most out of the engine tune.

2021 Audi A4 35 TFSI Hybrid in for stage 1 software.

Not all of these can be tuned at the moment, many have a locked ECU variant, however the results on these are hard to ignore.

Stock: 147hp / 199ft-lb
Tuned: 244hp / 310ft-lb

97hp and 110ft-lb gained from software alone. No hardware changes at all. That's nearly a 66% increase in power from just a remap.

The mild hybrid system still works away in the background, so you keep the efficiency too. Just a much more enjoyable car to drive.

BMW 118i 1.5L in for a custom tune.

Stock: 136hp / 162ft-lb
Tuned: 188hp / 220ft-lb

52hp and 58ft-lb gained from software alone.

A real, noticable difference in day to day driving.

Not every tune has to be about chasing big numbers. Sometimes it's just about making the car you drive every day that bit more enjoyable.

This Mk8 Fiesta ST 1.5T was in with us recently for a custom dyno tune.

A really nice strong car to start with, making 208hp and 220ft-lb on the stock map.

The 1.5T responds really well to just software, and with only a cat-back exhaust fitted this one went on to make 252hp and 280ft-lb once finished.

An extra 44hp and 60ft-lb in this chassis makes it a completely different car.

We also added some enhanced overrun to give it a bit more character, nothing over the top, just a slight extension of what these already do from the factory.
