Well u are in Northanmpton, so add 50 quid in fuel to get there too. Most peeps dont live near a 'reputable' tuner.

Swings and roundabouts, some things ARE better left to the specialists that i do agree with

A manual, and spare time i could have done what i had done for about 5 quid

with that sort of pricing dan youre in the MINORITY i'm afraid

i've been either ripped off, mislead, or had poor quality work done to my car from EVERY garage ive ever taken it to...

there is only 1 "specialist" i would now ever trust 100% with my pride and joy... problem is theyre hundreds of fookin miles away

indeed

and i think it speaks a lot that ive never before had work carried out by the good fellow and that we've only met once before...

i think considering the horrorstory style experiences ive had with "tuners" this speaks bucketloads about how highly i consider MSD (both of them, not just stu :P )

ofcourse i could be wrong and he could be a huge fraudster... but i doubt it

keith,

Take it over to jamsport if it's close. I took my s1 over there a couple of weeks ago for a set up and now it's a completly different car, was only running 1 psi and wouldn't idle now runs better and boosts upt 14psi

Cheers
