Default POWER ENGINEERING??

What they like these days. I know everyone's got different opinions but in general. Need to get my car set-up but few people have said not too. I always thought they were pretty good. Anyone's input much appreciated. Experiences good and bad too. Many thanks

Chris who worked for Power engeneering has opend his own company called 'Torque of the devil' And the best bit is it's seconds away from Power engeneering. He's only had good feedback from what I have read mate.

Iian Ball is the tuner at power engineering and hes very good..

So it would be unfair to say 'power engineering' is pants just cos of the name.

hes tuned all our cars, and so has chris and theres no real difference in there work.

I'm sure he is.

Not knocking the man's talent, but that is an awful name for a business.

I used to think "Virgin" was a funny name for a company and "Orange" oh and "ebay", doesnt seem to be effecting them much having unprofessional sounding names

As 'unprofessional' as some may think it sounds, whenever I've been there with Matt it looks anything but...............proper set up and the rolling road is a beauty

Many years ago when they were still doing the Sprintex supercharged Sierra's I was a customer and to cut along story short received a quality of customer service and workmanship that was not acceptable to me as such I am no longer a customer and will never return even though I live with walking distance

If anyone can speak highly of them, I am so pleased that you did not obtain an experience such as mine which may go to prove things sometimes change.

Chris and Iain, with a little help from Kester, did the supercharger install on my ST170 whilst at PE. Chris then did all the mapping, even going in on a Sunday afternoon because something was niggling him and he wanted to sort it out !
My car has just had an engine re-build and some other "additions" done at Torque of the Devil". My car will go wherever Chris goes, as he knows it, has mapped it and understands it. This is no reflection on PE, as I took it to them on Friday for it's MOT.
At least Chris didn't try and talk me into putting the engine in the boot !
