I took my RS Turbo to Power Engineering when i first got it, for a chip upgrade, they were very helpful, explained exactly what was happening and my car made great figures, so thats where i would go

a rolling road tune is Ł125 +vat (Ł146.88) that will give you an indication of what kind of condition your engine is in, point out any problems, & check your boost, fueling, timing etc & make any adjustments that need doing. that should see your car making nice but safe power.
the tuner who works on your car will tell you what they are doing as they go along, this will let you get a better understanding of your car aswell as knowing what they have adjusted/reset.
any more questions feel free to ask.
