not knocking ava's ability at all, alan is a very clued up guy at the top of his game
my mates mad on escort rst's, he's had loads and they all go to ava for set up&tuning
everytime they come back they never fail to impress me with the power for the boost and drivability
but cant justify their prices
last 1 he had down i went with him, 2 hrs on the rollers(inc the work done)
no parts used at all, just set up an opened up the metering unit to mod something inside, was flying when we took it away but for a 2 hour visit with no parts used the bill was over 350 quid

Not EFI RST's in my experiance. They seem to be able to set them up and check the fueling, but they could offer very little advice about my excessive fuel consumption and charged me £60 to turn up the fuel pressure and suggest I try that to see if its any better. This is after £60 to set it up in the first place.... tbh, £120 going towards a wideband (which I've since bought) would have been a better way of spending the cash.
