Seat Leon Cupra 290 Stage 1 ECU + TCU
This clean example of a 290 came in for turbo elbow to be fitted alongside stage 1 ECU and TCU to really bring the car alive!

res delete.
We set these up differently as opposed to how we tune the Golf R’s and S3’s with them being FWD, capped boost in 1st and 2nd to help with traction, 1-1 pedal demand to allow for maximum pedal control due to the way these are setup from factory, LC RPM lowered compared to factory to help with spinning when launching as well as lower boost request during LC. All of these combined really make FWD a lot more fun instead of just spinning everywhere. With the TCU being tuned as well, this allows for more clutch pressure, true manual mode to prevent the car from upshifting by itself whilst using the paddles, shift speeds adjusted to allow for seamless shifting and torque limiters raised to allow for more torque to be made whilst tuning it.
Nice amount of volume between Stock and Stage 1 with peak power further in the rev range!
We also enhanced DSG farts as well as crackles in Cupra mode.
On the road this was spot on, pulling all the way to redline and gripping as much as possible in the lower gears 👌🏻
We do love tuning EA888s and always will as they rarely have any problems when it comes to tuning and always respond so well 🫶🏼
also i don’t know why the colours of the writing at the bottom are different to the top 🤷🏼♂️

the car
Both tested properly
No off the shelf files
No generic gearbox flashes
No guesswork
This is where the difference really shows. Most places will sell you a file for the engine and a pre-made map for the gearbox. Same file, same settings, regardless of the car.
We do it differently.
Engine and gearbox are developed together
Data logged, tested and refined
Everything matched to how the car actually performs
The result is a smoother, stronger drive with better response, better gear changes and performance you can actually feel.
And here’s the part most people don’t realise…
Even with all of that, our custom tuning often works out cheaper than the off the shelf options.
£150 off engine tuning
Half price gearbox tuning
And it all includes dyno time.
That means you don’t just get told what it makes…
You get a dyno printout to prove it.
𝗡𝗢 𝗗𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗦
Imagine paying a deposit and being locked in before you’ve even seen how a place works.
If you come to Llandow Tuning and decide it’s not for you, no problem, you can just drive away.
Try doing that after paying a deposit elsewhere.

We log it

Strong torque gains between stage 1 -> 2 making it feel completely different and giving it more of punch 👌🏻

He also wanted a more aggressive limiter that bounced as opposed to sounding flat to add some more of a fun factor to the pocket rocket 🚀

Every change was developed on the car with full data logging throughout. Boost, fueling, airflow and ignition all monitored and refined to make sure the gains are real and safe.
That is a huge jump from a small 3 cylinder, but done properly it transforms the car. Stronger pull, better response and a completely different drive.
This is what happens when the calibration is actually built for the vehicle, not copied from somewhere else.

datalogging, both on the road and through deeper analysis back in the workshop. The data quickly pointed towards the calibration being the issue.
Once we got into the ECU, it confirmed it. Poorly written software, inconsistent changes and areas that simply didn’t make sense.
Result
Loss of power
Poor drivability
And a vehicle not performing how it should
After working through it and correcting what we could within the calibration, the van was brought back to a much healthier state with performance restored.
We may not have uncovered every underlying issue with the vehicle, but we certainly gave it back the power it had lost and a setup that actually works properly.
This is exactly why testing and logging matter. Without it, this would have just been another “it feels a bit slow” van with no clear answer.
If your vehicle has had work done elsewhere and does not feel right, there is usually a reason.
No guesses
No generic fixes
Just proper diagnostics and real results

A nice strong power curve with torque holding for most of the rev range and tailing off top end whilst power holds peak for as long as possible!
On the road this was night and day with another 87bhp and 174nm pulling all the way through the rev range and shifting seamlessly.
A pleasure to drive this one, definitely going to be needing rear tyres a lot more frequently now 😅

ately measure power and torque in a controlled environment without removing the engine.
Ideal for benchmarking
Ideal for proving power
Ideal for finding faults you will never see on the road
We use dyno testing alongside live data logging to build a full picture of how the engine is performing. That is how issues get spotted early and setups get refined properly.
Over the years we have worked on everything from classic Lotus 7 setups right through to modern Caterhams and just about every variation in between.
That includes a huge range of engine setups:
Old school Ford Pinto engines on carbs and distributors
Ford Crossflow setups
Vauxhall XE engines
Rover K Series
Ford Duratec
Ford Sigma
Modern Ford EcoBoost conversions
Motorcycle engine swaps like Hayabusa builds
Carburetors, throttle bodies, standalone ECUs, factory ECUs, distributor ignition, coil on plug, we have seen and tested it all.
Each setup requires a different approach, and lightweight cars like these are extremely sensitive to setup and fueling. Small changes make a big difference, which is exactly why proper testing matters.
Whether it is a classic carb setup that needs balancing and ignition dialled in, or a modern ECU controlled engine that needs calibration work, the process is the same. Test it, measure it, and prove it.
If you want to know what your car is actually doing, not what it “should” be doing, bring it in and we will show you.
No guesses
No assumptions
Just real data

g run our own Taycan models, we know how much difference the right setup makes. A proper alignment will improve stability, smoothness and even range, especially important on EV platforms.
It is not just about putting the car back to factory settings either. We tailor each setup depending on how the car is used, whether that is daily driving, long distance or fast road use.

This Kuga came in with some very odd running behavior after being “remapped” elsewhere.

Read full update
ken it to a local dyno tuning centre and was told it had gained less than 10HP. Whether it even made that is unclear, as the vehicle was never actually tested on a dyno despite the customer asking for it.
Shortly after, the car started smoking and behaving strangely. Despite trying to get it resolved, the original tuner was unwilling or unable to help.
We carried out a free initial assessment.
Straight away a few things stood out.
The DPF differential pressure sensor had been unplugged and taped up, with no fault codes present. Soot at the tailpipe suggested the DPF was no longer doing anything useful.
So the obvious question is…
Why was the customer not made aware the DPF had effectively been disabled? Why wasn't the customer told it had already been remapped/modified?
Then we looked further......
Oil around the throttle body area
Excessive oil present in the intake
With the intake pipe removed and the engine revved, oil was being pushed through heavily, exactly what you can see in the photo.
At that point it was clear.
Turbo seals have failed, allowing the engine to pull oil into the intake. The strange revving behaviour the customer noticed now makes sense, the engine was effectively trying to run on its own oil, with the ECU trying to control it.
Which raises another question…
Why was no live data taken before tuning to check the health of the turbo?
And why was there no proper support offered once the problem started?
We could detect all that from a visual inspection, why couldnt the other tuner? Ok maybe they missed it at the time of tuning, but when someone reports an issue why not examine the vehicle and spend all of 5 minutes on it like us to determine the issue.
This is not something you fix with a “remap” which the customer had hopped for.
This is exactly why proper diagnostics and proper process matter.
We did not charge the customer for the initial assessment. We believe in being fair and actually helping people understand what is going on with their vehicle.
So to be clear:
Yes, we offer a free initial assessment
Yes, we do far more than just basic tuning
And yes, we support what we do after the work is done
If something is wrong, we will help you find out why, not ignore it and hope it goes away.
If your car does not feel right after work elsewhere, there is usually a reason.

Boost control dialed in
Ignition mapped correctly
You cannot safely increase power without knowing what the engine is actually doing. That only comes from proper testing and data logging.
The result is a car that feels completely different to drive. Stronger through the range, smoother delivery and performance you can actually rely on.
We do not flash and hope.
We test, develop and prove.

decided to come back to us to fit a FORGE actuator and stage 2 tuning
Their dyno printout showed 220bhp and 360nm which is close to what it dyno’d at on ours in regards to BHP. There was nothing wrong with their map and logs showed that it was healthy and tuned well 👌🏻
Once ran up on previous tuner’s file, we then put the vehicle back to stock software to get a base line of what the vehicle was producing in stock form (plus the mods). This showed it to be running healthy with good figures being made.
Onto our tuning, after around 6 revisions we got this to perfection, with logs spot on and car making some solid figures! The main focus was the volume and drive ability compared to the other map as opposed to what it was like in stock form (as this is the difference which the customer feels) broadening the torque range and a stronger powerband pulling hard through the rev range 👊🏼
Once done, this felt amazing on the road and with it being a dry day was gripping very well!

er, giving us deep access to modules, security systems and advanced programming functions that most places simply cannot touch.
Alongside that, we run multiple genuine BMW ICOM interfaces with ISTA, including ISTA Online for full factory level programming, updates and diagnostics. We have also kept support for older platforms with our DK Yellow Head setup and DIS, so whether it is early BMW systems or the latest models, we can cover it properly.
We can carry out key adaptation and programming
CAS and FEM work
BCM and module replacement and coding
Footwell module repairs and recovery
Head unit repairs, upgrades and software updates
Apple CarPlay activation and feature enabling
Retrofitting options that your car never had from factory
Adapting used modules to your vehicle correctly
Whether it is a simple coding job or something far more complex, everything is done in house.
We also regularly deal with engine conversions and non standard setups. If you have fitted a different engine, even from a different generation, we can help get everything communicating and working as it should.
This is not plug and play work. It requires proper understanding of BMW systems, module communication and how to safely integrate changes without creating future problems.
Over the years we have built up extensive experience across E, F and G series BMWs, covering everything from diagnostics and repairs to full system integration and custom setups.
If you can find another tuning centre in Wales doing this level of BMW work properly in house, we would genuinely like to see it.
If you have an issue, want features adding like CarPlay, need a repair, or have a project that needs doing properly, drop us a message or come down for a chat.
