Has anybody been to Tony Mannocks turbo systems ? Are they any good ?

 

I go there all the time LOL

 

PMSL @ Tony


Ive never heard anyone complain about them, and Stu i know has a lot of respect for Tony, so personally i wouldnt think twice about using him.

 

VERY expensive and VERY slow.

You know he's known as the rhino lol

 

fpsmsl

 

my mate had a 1900cvh turbo van built by him

lasted years and was an absoulte animal

he swears by him

says hes a top bloke and my mate always took his cars there to him even though it wasa a trek like

but you have to get used to making your own cuppa and do one for the lads aswell as thats the only service its poor on ive heard

 

 

I can't stay away from the place I've tried

 

I would happily let Tony or Mike work on my car.

 

"Let them" and "pay them to" are subtley different stu

 

 

Ive been a customer of TS for several years now. I've always been pleased with the standard of work that they carry out and Tony is a total nutter so we get on well! Give TS a ring and have a chat, see what you think.

Mat.

Maccys on you next time Tony! lol

 

Must be abit thick, what does pmsl and fpsml mean

 

Mat, Do you find them expensive ?

 

fucking pissing myself laughing

 

I used to go to Tony a lot until I ran out of money, my XR4x4 turbo drained it all from me.

Firstly I can tell you I've never regretted spending a penny with Tony.

Secondly I can tell you that you'll never meet anyone else like him. If you go I hope you like tea and I hope you like long conversations. Tony is a top bloke. Even my GF thinks he's a top guy and she's only met him once and he told her one day she will turn into a crazy bitch.

Some people complain of the prices but personally I feel they either don't understand how business work or don't see the value in what TurboSystems has to offer. You do read negative comments but they are very rarely by Tonys customers. They are expensive.

Providing you are willing to listen and take a few hard truths about a: the condition of your car and b: the real cost of doing things properlly I think you'll get on fine. If you are looking for a tuner who blows hot air up your ass and grenade tunes your engine on the cheap you are best to avoid.

I can't say they're the best until I have tried the rest but few other tuners will have you racing a motorbike up the local dual carridgeway in your dinner break. Few will open up on a Saturday morning just to fix your car or work till late on a Friday night.

 

First time I ever spoke to uncle Tony was a few years ago when a mate had a problem with his saph: I rang turbosystems and this guy just starts ripping the piss out of me for being Dutch and gives me all this shit about vikings!
I told him the problem the car was having (took about 15 minutes before I managed to get a word in lol) and he casually asks: "is it running a Wolf chip?"

HOW THE FOOK DOES HE KNOW THAT?

He took lots of time to explain all sorts of things to me and ever since that day he's given me LOADS of abuse (as uncle Tony is the most sarcastic bastard you'll ever meet ) and even more QUALITY ADVICE!

Tony is someone that say's it like it is, a man of principle and if you don't like it then TOUGH...if you know what I mean?

VERY VERY knowledgable, very intelligent, very funny and FOOKING ugly (according to Mike )

 

As Ive discovered, get the job done once and get it done right. It may cost a bit more but its worth it long time for sure. I look at the costs like this. I spend say Ł100 on a job, it may be Ł85 somewhere else but Ive drank Ł80 worth of tea and coffee, so its good value really . Like I said, ring him and have a chat.

Mat.

 

hooligan, from that description, i can see why him and Stu get on so well

 

ROFLOL.... your got it Chip

Tony, Mike, Matt and myself used to have some incredible banter sessions on teh forum and i miss em TBH

 

Mat thanks for all the big macs but you only bring them because you know I don't like them so you and you bro can eat them lol, but the thought was there
Is that what they call food for thought

 

Turbosystems have some very happy Derbyshire RSOC members

 

Used to use him a lot.....Wonder if he still remembers the mad scouser with the white saff..

Car went like fook and never missed a beat.....Gets my vote anytime..

 

I like to piss in private

Never heard a bad word against Tony

 

Aaaah the infamous white saff.....I dont think you've ever told anyone about that one have you mate - what was it again 375 or 375bhp!!!!

 

I used to have a Turbosystems windscreen sticker on my Vauxhall Nova

 

Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnt...

 

bet that doubled it's value

 

Getting lazy are we?

Never used them myself but got some nice advice and great explanations from Tony.

 

top chappie mental,, but top

 

if u want plenty of abuse and the sight of some really bad jumpers then tony is ur man

 

PMSL, that's brilliant that is! LOL

 

 

i,vbeen to turbosystems once or twice built me a fast engine at a reasonable price

tony is a right bellend though!

did you get my parcel today tony?

 

Sound Bloke, Phenominal Knowledge, Looks a Gimp, wheres a bumbag and likes tea...what more could you ask for?

 

im really in tears at some of the comments here, they are soooooo tony

top geezer imo even if he does look like a cross between stig of the dump meets steptoe and son as stu said had some real funny times in days gone by

and dont believe him that his desert spoon vauxhall wannabe conversion has ever moved under its own steam

speak to you spoon you tea loving chain smoking scruff

 

I used to go to TS with my RST from 1995 onwards and the service was excellent, I once even travelled over there (3 hours drive) due to a missfire under load I had tried new plugs etc, the car didn't get as far as the cafe before the fault was found "Spark plugs" he said!! I said there new he said there will be the wrong ones and they where doh!!!

Had my old saph worked on there as it had a major running problem, he drove it in the garage and shouted "CHIP" and sure enough the chip that I had paid a a lot of money for was a terry dury group A spec with bits missing!! on a fooking road car FFS!!
needless to say the car drove perfect after that had been changed..
