Default Had my S2 set up

After months of poor starting I finally decided to take the plunge and have my car set up by the pro's.
I took the car to NMS and although I thought the car was running ok, I left it with them to sort it out.
Karl and Ollie found several problems the worst being a knackered metering unit, turbo blades, actuator and a wiring problem.
Picked the car up on a wet and windy evening, had a good chat with the guys, paid my bill, which although more than I had anticipated, well worth it for what happened next.
Drove it steady for a couple of miles until warmed up and then thought I would have some fun.
Fook me, can't believe the difference!!
On a wet road from standstill the car is still spinning the wheels in 4th gear and the amount of torque is unbelievable.
Only chipped ECU, Magnex exhaust and set to 14psi but a really proffesional set up at NMS I believe is the difference.
If anyone needs work on there ERST I can't recommend them highly enough

Cheers

Doug
