Default RS Turbo Tuners - whos best?

A well worn path i'm sure and everyone will have different opinions, BUT............

Who would be best to take the series 2 to get it stage 1'd and set up with a couple of small running issues sorted? That's all I want tbh, usual 160ish bhp but as I have cam, maybe able to squeeze 170ish maybe!

Thinking JamSport but who else is there who's good?

Take your car to a tuner who has lots of experiance not just a company that say they can do it.

I see cars from all over the country who sometimes have paid lots of money to have a random guess there way through a tune.

Its worth the drive to Janno's, knows his way around an RST with his eyes closed and is very reasonable with price, never over charges or does whats not needed.

Only company's I would use are
Jamsport
Oddkiddcreations
Norris Motorsport
Motorsport developments

And karlos g on here comes highly reccomended

All of these places will sort you out just upto you too choose, which suits your needs the most, with the running issues you say you have?

I usually go to Jamsport who are very good at what they do but are expensive, but I have tried out Jano at Oddkiddcreations, Essex, for the first time a few months ago and I do have to say I was very impressed of his work, motivation and knows rs turbo's inside out he sounds like a good guy you can trust with your car I would try Jano first.

Jano for sure mate, I used him a couple of times this summer. No nonsense, to the point, set up, test and on my way.

He has proper old school values, No hidden costs, no bullshit, and no upselling.
