This 2.0TDI Audi A1 came to us beautifully prepared by its’ owner. They had not skimped on parts and the proof is in the results…


The CFHD engine comes out of the factory with ~140bhp and ~235ft/lb of torque.

With a free flowing exhaust system, some air intake modifications, and a Darkside Developments FMIC kit fitted (along with a base tune for the supporting mods) it made a very healthy 155bhp and 274ft/lb.


After we had revised the tune completed some more data logging we were finally at 198bhp and 350ft/lb of torque! This is a smoke free tune on the standard turbo. Dyno graph below!

This 120d came in to see us a while ago for a retune and the addition of a popcorn limiter! This video is not a video to show you "how fast" the car is (as it definitely looks slow in the video), it was just staged to show you the popcorn limiter!


The car came to us with an unknown tune which we managed to improve upon power-wise and add the popcorn limiter to (which the owner was previously told was not possible).


The customer came to us having had the car tuned elsewhere. It previously made just over 180bhp due to over-boost issues and then it would go into limp mode.


We started again from a stock file, calibrating the car for smooth power delivery and optimum power for the setup (stock, apart from the exhaust). After we had finished the power tune we started setting up the flames/pops and bangs to be exactly as the customer wanted them. After 6 revisions we got them spot on and also added a hardcut limiter (which the customer was previously told was not possible).


Stock power - 121bhp & 148ft/lb

Our tune - 158bhp & 215ft/lb 😈 🚗💥


Peak gains of 37bhp and 67ft/lb - and most importantly NO MORE OVER-BOOST!
