Really??

As ever, you should always pick a tuner based on quality of work, not distance. Luckily for you there's a handful of good tuners not too far away.

What's actually up with the car?

I have total respect for Collins.. except the gender changing stuff.. !

They are infact the suppliers and makers of technology behind many of the well respected tuners !!

Do you know how many tuners actually use Collins maps? More than you'd realise.

If you want to stay to Stoke i would use Michael Hall (ex turbosystems) and he will be a lot cheaper too.

Other than that i would recomend NMS.

I think he still does,in years gone by ALL my mates used Mark and George if they had a S1 or S2 and some still do with Cosworth's and Subaru's.
For me if money was no object I would go to Tony,may as well get it right first time imo.
Make a choice and pay your money,but where ever you take it dont be surprised if they moan about fixing some one else's work.
