This customer’s 2.0 TDI Audi A3 came in for a custom dyno tune and delivered impressive gains without any supporting modifications! 📈

The power increased from 156.8 BHP to 191.8 BHP, while torque jumped from 280 lbs/ft to a massive 355 lbs/ft.

That’s an extra 35 BHP and 75 lbs/ft from the tuning alone! 💪

This BMW X6 M50d came in this week after another tuner said they couldn't tune it due to a lack of back pressure, causing the turbos to overboost... 🤔

This certainly wasn't the case once our tuners got their hands on it!

Taking this X6 from 345.3bhp to 413.8bhp, a total increase of 68.5bhp! 💪
And pushing the torque from 545lbs/ft to an impressive 655lbs/ft! 🔥

Over 6 years ago, we built a 300bhp 1.9 TDI PD130 powerhouse for @mgcharoudin MK4 Golf RingTracktor!

Unfortunately, before it could be used as intended, the devastating floods of 2021 that hit western Germany submerged the Golf, and the RingTracktor was no more...

Until now! After years of neglect, Misha has sent us the engine for a full rebuild as part of the RingTracktor’s rebirth, bringing it back to life, bigger and better than ever!

Head over to our Youtube channel to see the full video! @darksidetdi

This week, we welcomed this 2017 Audi TT TDI Quattro for a remap and gearbox tune!

After weeks of searching for a company they could trust, the customer found us through our social media and several personal recommendations. As this was their first experience with tuning, we were more than happy to walk them through their options and explain the process.

With no existing modifications, we took the car from 180.9bhp and 310lbs/ft to 210bhp and 350lbs/ft an increase of 29.1bhp and 40lbs/ft! 💪
