I think NMS would be a good place to go for RS turbo's, OddKidd Creations would be another I'd recommend.

APT for me, both Christian and Gary are top blokes, really know their stuff and will always bend over backwards (not forwards ) to get a first class job done everytime!

just look at C&B and TT's cars for examples of their workmanship

I think most of the well known tuners will do you a good job if you are prepared to spend the money.

WIth a tight budget though, its hard work for any tuner to get decent results and still make a profit.

to be honest a lot of things have changed down there in the past month or so. if ya local or nearish give them a call and ask for Matt (GUZZLER off the board) im sure he will be more than helpful

Really depends where you are in the country as the Uk has a few tuners who can do great things with the RST.

Norfolk Area... APT

Londonish.. SCC and power Engineering.

Central you have Jamsport & Karl Norris.

Northwest, we will be happy to look after her for you.

Scotland, look no further than AVA.

Take your pick, or pick elsewhere

if you have been told it needs a fifth injector its because its leaning out top end, we get so many cars come in running over 200bhp that are really lean, the fifth injector would benefit the car & let you run more power.
our tuners could no doubt get more power from your car without a fifth injector, but how would you feel if the car melted a piston due to it being set up to run to lean??
out of interest when did you have the car tuned & what colour is it?
also what mods has it got & what power did you get?

had an rs turbo tuned by power engineering made around 160bhp, that was a chip, exhaust and a pace inter warmer, then took it to jamsport and it made a nice 189bhp with a bit of magic from jamie

I second what Stu said.

All depends where you are.

As his list, there are reputable tuners in all areas with a good following of customers from each and mag features and shoot out cars to back up, Norris (midlands), MSD (northwest), OddKidd (south east), APT (north east), Ourselves, Jamsport (midlands).

So either way the countries covered.

Which ever is nearest to you, you will receive a top service.

Had a PE built 1600 and was the most reliable car I ever had, took all the abuse no probs. Expensive but you pay for what you get. Also had some good work from SCC and PTS.

Yo Tony - did you get my PM regarding your S2?

I was once at PE with Mervyn watching one of there System 2's getting a fifth injector added. It made almost no extra bhp. As far as I've been told the KE can be modded to give more such that a 5th injector isnt required? Although to be honest if I'd reached the limits of the KE I'd probably save up for Webber Marelli or some aftermarket ECU etc.

The addition of A 5th injector to an engien thats running dangerously lean will normally lose you a few BHP, and thats a GOOD thing chaps so stop fooking moaning.. roflol

Ive used both Jamsport in the past and Karl at NMS and had a top service from both of them with my S2.

Stu @ MSD has also given me some helpfull advice so im sure his service is top notch aswell

Those are my choices

Power Engineering should have that as there slogan, used to say it to every RST that went on the rollers, oh and some HT leads, that they happened to have right there



i hope that things have changed there though

IN NO particular order if I had an RST it would go to

either Karl@ NMS or Gary/Christian @APT

hearing good things about Jamsport and AVA though

IMO you have to speak to a couple and guage for yourself who you feel most comfortable with
