South Tuningz

South Tuningz was established at the beginning of 2020. The purpose behind South Tuningz was originally supposed to be a local mobile tuning service for people based in South London, that quickly changed to a service covering the Entirety of London, Cambridge, Oxford, Norfolk and Essex. From Brighton all the way too Dover and back towards Reading, Southampton, we have now opened a large workshop i

n Croydon due to the continued support from our great customers! Due to such high demand we have had to deeply invest in research & development regarding sophisticated professional tools and software providers that are regarded as some of the best software creators in the automotive industry. Through hard work, passion and a genuine love of all things fast the owner has built a mobile tuning company that prides itself on providing cutting edge software that has proven itself time and time again, five star customer services and attention to detail that very few can rival. The reason for all of this you ask ? The team at South Tuningz are very much against seeing genuine customers and members of the General public, falling foul of low quality generic remaps and bad customer service, unfortunately leaving people in compromising situations and generally giving tuning a bad reputation. The main goal for South Tuningz is too make the process of having your car tuned a fun, exciting & comfortable experience that leaves the customer feeling confident and content with the outcome of having South Tuningz work on their vehicle. We look forward to working with all future customers and helping anyone who may need our services.

๐Ÿšจ AUDI S3 8Y โ€” TUNED ELSEWHERE ๐Ÿšจ

Before anyone grabs the popcornโ€ฆ ๐Ÿฟ this car was actually tuned fairly well.

BUT thereโ€™s something every tuned car owner needs to understand:

๐ŸŒก๏ธ IATs MATTER.

This S3 is still running:
โ€ข Stock intercooler
โ€ข OPF still in the exhaust
โ€ข ECU/TCU tune from elsewhere

On a cool day? โ„๏ธ
Weโ€™d comfortably expect this setup and tune to make around **370โ€“380+ BHP** with strong, consistent power.

On the dyno in the current climate? โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ

High intake temps + stock cooling = power gets pulled back.

For comparison, with our:
โ€ข OPF bypass
โ€ข ECU tuning
โ€ข TCU tuning
โ€ข Dyno calibration

We regularly see **400โ€“420 BHP** from the S3 8Y platform. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

But credit where itโ€™s due โ€” the existing tune on this car is respectable. ๐Ÿค

The lesson?

Donโ€™t judge a tuned car purely by one dyno number.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Ambient temperature matters
๐Ÿ”ฅ Intake temperature matters
๐Ÿ”ฅ Hardware matters
๐Ÿ”ฅ Heat soak matters

Girls & boysโ€ฆ know your setup and understand the conditions before chasing numbers and blaming tuners for the outcome... ๐Ÿ˜‰

๐Ÿšจ BMW X4M COMPETITION ON THE 4WD DYNO ๐Ÿšจ

This stock X4M Comp came into Apex Performance, Edenbridge for a full 4WD dyno test + data logging ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿ’ป

๐Ÿ”ฅ Very warm day = HIGH intake air temps
โœ… Logs looking clean
โš ๏ธ Slight ignition knock showing โ€” pointing towards worn spark plugs combined with the higher IATs
๐Ÿ’ช Still putting in a strong result despite the conditions

On a cooler day with fresh plugs, weโ€™d expect this X4M Competition to be pretty much bang on factory figuresโ€ฆ if not slightly OVER ๐Ÿ‘€

Because if you know BMWโ€ฆ you know they LOVE making more power than they quote from factory ๐Ÿ˜

Would you keep the X4M stock or tune it? ๐Ÿ‘‡

259BHP on a โ€œStage 1โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ฌโ€ฆ this MK7 GTI deserved better.

It came to us already tuned elsewhere, but instead of guessing and throwing another generic file at it, we put it on the **4WD dyno**, started **data logging**, and got to work. ๐Ÿ“Š

๐Ÿ”ฅ Custom ECU calibration
โš™๏ธ Custom TCU/DSG tuning
๐Ÿ“ˆ Proper data logging
๐Ÿ 4WD dyno developed

Whoโ€™s trusting a generic Stage 1 after seeing this? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‡
