The tuner

Samuel Gunnell has been remapping professionally for over ten years. He is the lead tuner at Manchester Dyno Centre, based at a 6,000 sq ft facility in Eccles, Manchester, and his work has taken him well beyond the North West. His reputation for tuning file quality is recognised internationally in the performance vehicle world.

For drivers travelling from Huyton, that level of expertise is what you are booking when you make an appointment here. Every job is handled personally by Samuel. There is no handoff to a junior technician, no remote file delivery, no generic calibration loaded from a library. He takes your car onto the in-house 4-Wheel-Drive Bapro dynamometer, monitors fuelling, boost pressure, ignition timing and knock events in real time, and refines the calibration on the rollers until the data confirms it is right. You leave with a documented power figure, before and after, measured on the day.

That level of personal involvement is not common at any price point.

Why Manchester Dyno Centre

In-house 4WD dyno. The Bapro dynamometer at the Eccles facility is not shared, rented, or borrowed. It is the working tool for every job, used to develop and verify every map before the car leaves.

Professional-grade hardware. All reads and writes use Kess3 and CMD tooling, the same equipment used by specialist trade shops. Not cloned devices, not grey-market tools.

The 117Speed name. Manchester Dyno Centre is powered by 117Speed, recognised as the most decorated remapping business Manchester has to offer. That track record is not a marketing line, it is what brings drivers from across the North West and beyond.

Quoted individually. No published prices appear on this site because no two jobs are the same. Every quote reflects the vehicle, the work required, and the time on the dyno.

FAQs

Who carries out the tuning at Manchester Dyno Centre?
Every job is carried out personally by Samuel Gunnell, the lead tuner. There is no delegation to junior staff. Samuel reads the ECU, develops the calibration, runs the dyno passes, and refines the map himself from start to finish.
What vehicles and platforms does Samuel work on?
Samuel works across a wide range of platforms: BMW (B58, N55, N57, S55), Volkswagen Golf GTI, GTD and R, Audi with Quattro, Ford Fiesta ST, Focus ST, Transit and Ranger, Seat Cupra, Skoda Octavia vRS, Vauxhall Astra VXR, and Mercedes. Both petrol and diesel engines are covered, as well as vans and commercial vehicles.
Is it worth travelling from Huyton for a remap?
Yes, if the quality of the work matters to you. The drive from Huyton to Eccles is around 35 to 40 minutes, not a long trip for a service that produces a verified, dyno-confirmed result rather than a generic file. Drivers who have had a generic remap elsewhere and noticed the difference often travel further than this for a session with Samuel.
What do I need to do to prepare my car before a visit?
Arrive with a full tank of the correct fuel for your engine. Make sure there are no outstanding fault codes, if there are, have them investigated before your appointment. When you book, declare any modifications you have fitted, as this affects which service is appropriate for your car.
