Default Would like my S1 setup where to take it?

Hi guys, not had my escort setup for a while, had a few parts fitted recently and the car now has some fuelling issues, have sorted a couple of air leaks and now she won't idle nice, have adjusted 3mm alum key on phlengum to lean her of a little and have improved the situation, but would like it properly set up as its not been done for 4 years. Did have a power run at classic show, made 172 house power but AFR's were up quite high (14), this was before I had air leaks fixed, They said fix air leak from servo and have it setup as engine felt strong just needed setting up but where to take it??

Spec is
MFI original ecu with Ahmed bajoo chip

T285T2 cam shaft

Air tech front mount

Piper cross panel filter

Group a coil

Sierra cosworth T3 turbo stage 1

-31 actuator

Smaco boost hoses

No dump valve

Peaks 16psi holds 14.8psi made 172hp and 196 foot pound

Any suggestions on where to book in would be appreciated I live on the isle of wight so any where south of the midlands would be ok, London way or where ever with in a hundred miles

Thanks in advance

Jason

Jano @ Oddkid creations without a shadow of a doubt! Cheapest MFI tuner in UK and probably the best too IMO!

MSD is in Blackpool though. And your down south.

I'd go Jano to save doing 600 mile trip

Jano gets my vote to for someone nearby-ish. Not used the guy personally but have seen his work first hand and spoken with him at thrashes. Decent guy, who knows his RS Turbos and actually seem to give a crap rather than just wanting to relieve your wallet of its contents.

So confused!all I want is a simple setup, timing, fuel, psi, good safe end result. Want to spend say 200 quid for a setup which I think is a fair spend. Don't mind travelling, does Jano have a rolling road? I last used Chris Todd when totd was around. So down south we have Jano, any one used power engineering do they still have Rs turbo mfi tuners there.?

See if Tremona can set it up on the road for you, if not Jano would be the nearest decent tuner, it would be worth finding someone on the island to give it a once over first, check the cam ect so you don't have to do 2 trips.
