We recently had the pleasure of visiting Rafe in Redruth, who was looking to get a bit more performance from his reliable Seat Ibiza 1.9 TDI. These diesel engines from the VW-Audi group are known for their tuning potential — and Rafe’s was no exception. With Kernowsport’s custom ECU remap, we were able to take the power up to around 160bhp — a significant gain of nearly 50% over stock. The result? A car that pulls harder, accelerates more confidently, and feels altogether sharper to drive. Despite its age, the Ibiza responded brilliantly to the tuning and Rafe was thrilled with the transformation. As always, we tailor our remaps to the condition of the car and the driver’s needs, ensuring safe, reliable gains without compromising engine health. At Kernowsport, we specialise in mobile remapping services across Cornwall, including Redruth, Camborne, Hayle, and beyond. Whether you’ve got a tired diesel in need of some extra punch or a newer model you want to optimise, we’ve got the tools and experience to deliver results.

At Kernowsport, we pride ourselves on transparency and realistic expectations — and today’s job in Bodmin was a great example of why that matters. We were called out to remap a 2004 Audi TT 225, a 20-year-old car with 164,000 miles on the clock. The 1.8 turbo engine in the 225 model is already well-tuned from the factory, and while some gains are possible with a decat tune, they tend to be modest — especially on older, high-mileage engines. The owner had hoped for a significant boost in performance, but we advised that the most realistic gain would be in the region of 20–25bhp, depending on engine health and whether the catalytic converter had been removed. As stated in the disclaimer on every page of our website, results from ECU tuning vary from vehicle to vehicle. No two cars are the same — particularly when they’re over two decades old and have lived a full life. Following the tune, the owner felt the car was performing similarly or perhaps slightly worse. We explained this was likely due to the decat not being installed yet. Once removed, the tune will deliver its full potential, but even then, a miracle transformation is

Sometimes jobs come in last minute — and this one was a perfect example. At 4pm, just as we were heading out of Cornwall for a trip to London, we got a call from Simon. He’d just bought a stunning Mercedes CLS 350 and was already looking to unlock more of its potential. We arranged to meet him at a convenient service station along the A30, and within three hours of his initial call, the remap was complete. This stage one remap transformed his car, taking it to well over 300BHP and giving it the kind of performance the CLS chassis truly deserves. While it’s not our usual style to do roadside remaps, we’re always keen to help when we can — and this one turned out brilliantly. Simon was thrilled with the results, telling us the extra power turned his already luxurious car into what he called a “luxury missile”. Smooth, fast, and effortless — exactly what you’d expect from a well-executed Mercedes remap.     Mobile ECU Remapping Across Cornwall and the A30 Whether you’re in Cornwall, heading along the A30, or just need a fast turnaround, Kernowsport offers reliable, professional remapping services where and when you need

Another day, another Volkswagen Transporter T5 getting a much-needed performance boost — this time in Liskeard. Anthony, the owner of this particular van, contacted Kernowsport looking to breathe some life into his hard-working 84BHP T5, which was seriously struggling on the hills around Cornwall. Despite the van having clocked a massive 247,000 miles — that’s roughly ten laps of the Earth! — we were confident we could make a noticeable difference. And we did. After a full diagnostic check and applying one of our trusted stage one remaps, we safely and reliably increased the power to 166BHP. That’s nearly double the original output — and the difference on the road was immediate. Anthony was delighted with the result. The van now pulls up hills with ease, feels smoother throughout the rev range, and drives more like a newer model without needing to touch the engine hardware. At Kernowsport, this is exactly what we love doing: bringing tired vans back to life and helping Cornish drivers enjoy their vehicles again — especially when they’ve served well over the years.     ECU Remapping in Liskeard for VW Transporter T5 and More If you’re in Liskeard or anywhere in Cornwall and your

We were recently contacted by Gary in Liskeard who needed urgent help with his Nissan Qashqai. Another tuner had attempted to remap the vehicle, but the job had gone badly wrong — resulting in multiple error codes and an incomplete remap. The car was struggling with poor driveability, severe turbo lag, and performance that was far below par. When we arrived, we weren’t sure what we’d find. It was possible that the ECU had been left in an unstable or damaged state. At Kernowsport, we’ve seen plenty of cases where poor tuning attempts can create more problems than they solve. Our first step was to perform a full diagnostic scan and reset all existing data on the ECU. Once we had a clean baseline, we applied a proper Stage 1 performance remap, calibrated specifically for smoother throttle response, improved torque delivery, and more usable power across the rev range. After finishing the work, we went out on a test drive with Gary — and the results spoke for themselves. He was absolutely delighted, commenting that the remap had completely transformed the way the car drove. That’s exactly the kind of feedback we love to hear at Kernowsport. It’s why we

This morning, the KernowSport team was out in Troon near Camborne, Cornwall, to carry out an ECU remap on a stunning VW T5 Transporter. The van’s owner, Matt, had requested a “blend” remap, which is the ideal solution for drivers looking to boost performance without compromising fuel efficiency — particularly useful for older or high-mileage engines. This particular van had over 250,000 miles on the clock, but with Volkswagen’s legendary reliability, we’ve seen similar 2.0 TDI engines still running strong past 400,000 miles. What We Did: Matt was a pleasure to deal with, and it’s always rewarding to help a well-maintained van stay road-ready and running better than ever. This visit is another example of how Kernowsport’s mobile tuning service is helping drivers across Cornwall improve performance, reliability, and fuel economy.     Why Choose Kernowsport for VW Remaps in Cornwall?   Whether you’re in Troon, Camborne, Redruth, Truro, or anywhere in Cornwall, we bring expert ECU tuning to your door.     Book Your VW T5 Remap Today Want more performance and better fuel economy from your van?
