My car made good power, apparently 518 bhp on his rollers at 1.9 bar boost.
I took it to a rolling road shoot out but run it at 1.7 bar and it made 480bhp but was told it was very lean at the top.
I then spoke to 2 seperate tuners and was told a good top speed run would have seen my very expensive engine melt at the boost he set it to...think it was safe at 1.4 bar but nothing above.
Your company would do well to invest in the equipment to do the Jap cars yourself and cut all ties with Paul Hills.
Saying that:
If you cannot notice that in the top left hand corner of the graph it states Base ignition map, maybe you should not be mapping either???

Well a T6-2000 never lies and is a very clever piece of kit. It tells you exactly what the mapper has done and more importantly when he did it and what he had for supper!
Reading back from what he did on my car was shocking - almost as shocking as his effort to control the boost. All shocking....

Knackered their cars and took a lot of money off them, overcharged them for sub-standard work, pretended to know what he was doing...etc etc.......
If you did a vote of the tuners who were in the frame on here the most for being predominately bad then Paul Hills will be there at the very pinnacle.
He is single handedly responsible for putting me off cosworths for life. And almost put me off performance cars and made me drive at almost driving test speed for months afterwards. After my experience It will end in tears.

I know this is probably not what you want to hear but Harvey Gibbs is very good with T6's. He would be able to tell you what they had done and when they did it.
Failing that, Martin Hadland could also read it I'm sure.

hi mate, yea after this thread i think we will be as i showed my boss today and he was shocked to see the rep paul has and had no idea and he told me the main reason he used him was coz hes known him for years. also i went to start the mr2 today and its idleing at about 2500 rpm and i found paul had adjusted the idle speed screw in which you cant do on mr2's as it puts the throttle position sensor out and in turn confuses the iscv so ive had to get the thottle body off again and reset it
i think what were going to do is when the owner of the mr2 has done his 1000 mile run in period were going to have it mapped by someone else and see wot they think of pauls run in map
thank you for the all the best and your info

woooooooooooo, this guy has touched my car 
i dont think i'l be turning the key until someone else has looked over it now after seeing all this!!
jon, that map he was ment to be sending you, please delete it straight away when you get it, i dont want want my car blowing up, taken me long enough to build the bloody thing
just to add, I can vouch for jons workmanship, iv known him for many years, proberly too many lol, he takes great pride on what he does, he might be abit rough round the edges (himself, not he's work lol) but he gets the job done with no probs, and my car wouldn't be where it's at now if it wasn't for jon helping me out/pointing me in the right direction! (jon, don't think your help isnt appriciated mate, il repay the favors when you pull your finger with the rst
so for those suggesting earlier in the topic that he doesn't know what he's on about can shut up to be blunt, you neither know nor have seen he's work so comments like that are not needed!

I wouldn't leave the MR2 to run in on a map that doesn't even idle right. If it's bore washing in those first thousand miles then it'll never be right...

Like I say he IS a very capable man imo, but seems to lack the enthusiasm a lot of the time, which is a real shame.
I've driven some evo's he did which went abroad, all were run on another set of rollers as a check for other reasons, all were perfect, PH did have NO knowledge there would be a check run on each car.

for anyone whos interested on mr2's you have to set the tps on the bench. youve got toadjust the screw right out and then put a multimeter on the bottom two pins of the tps andget a .5mm feeler in between the screw and the throttle and adjust the screw until you have continuaty (spell) and then get the .7mm feeler and put it in between the screw and throttle and you should have and open circuit so its a very fine tollerence and the ecu takes the reading off of that to control the iscv so thats why it was running high idle
ive also checked the afr and emmissions and all is good thankfully. this mr2 is going to be and animal!!!

to be fair he may have mountune in the WRC days on his CV but there were so many other highly skilled people, most now out there in Essex running successful tuning companies by themselves now, there that it would of been easy to ride off of them and to look like you knew what you was doing. With the sort of work load they had during them days i doubt there was much time to be firing and hiring new staff! Plus, with it being such an important partnership, im sure any work done would be checked, double checked and triple checked anyway to avoid any embarrassment to mountune that any mistakes wouldnt have been brought to the public eye

Those mr2's are animals when tuned up,600hp will be immense!!!my mate has a pheonix yellow one which is 450bhp iirc and he reckoned on a straight road he couldn't see when it was going to stop accelerating,it sounds like a motorbike when it revs!!!!
His went pop quite quickly though but this was due to him ignoring some porosity on the head and that's where it failed.
