Ł60 for a rolling road set-up mate.Generally an hour,usually overrun's

You obviously get a power output with that aswell.

I have had dealings with both and I would go with Greer 100%(although that's not my chosen tuner), and I know of around 20-30 people that would tell you the same....... although it will put a lot of noses out of joint

If you want to go and get your car setup with the most boost possible and who cares about the power then you dont want to go to AVA.

If you want to go somewhere that has been tuning RST's forever near enough, then head through to AVA.

My old 1600cc rst at 12.5 psi ran 149.9 down brunters. Putting to shame all manor of cars from legendry all steel bottom en 1.6's running 30+ psi, 1.9 cvh running all manor of mods and so on.

if you want to see their work on RST's have a look at b8's car on here or t28rst or one of the others. Proper package cars, not just the boost turned up.

Good luck... and last time a greer rst did 150 down brunters was?

you will also find out how slow they are that flint grey saph has been up there for fully 3 years they do know there stuff but dont try an tell them a zetec turbo engine can use fiesta rs turbo management because according to them its impossible.
basically if they built it, its probably the best thing in the world(carlsberg stylee)
but if someone else built it you'd better prepare yourself for some bad news. cos no matter how good it is it'l still be no good, oh and itl prob need a new fuel pump i'v had 2 cars there and so has my mate. yip they all needed new fuel pumps.
