Buying an old car back you regret selling Ahhhhhh. Got it!
So after around 3 years ago i sold my old Mk6 Escort zvh turbo. The engine was never set up correct but the boost was dangerous it was awesome.
Anyway i put the feelers out that i was looking for the car and the owner got in touch within 1 week, result. Even happier when he sent me pics rather rough round the edges but is now fitted with a 2.0 Zetec turbo Needs running in and setting up at some point but sound amazing and runs sweet. Not driven it yet but looks promising fully rebuilt etc running around 10psi.
Any recommendations on which company who can tune/map rolling road the car when finished?

to be honest it depends on so many factors to get it setup etc....
what management is it running,
what sort of standard has it been built to and how much of the spec do you know etc.... comp ratio, injectors that are fitted, turbo housings etc.
whilst its easy to say so and so will do it, the better the vehicle condition on presentation to the garage the better the final outcome usually.
a thrown together build is usually a mixture of potential problems and head scratchers which, if booked in for a setup cost more as the time goes up to resolve issues.

Absolutely no smoke on start up or when running so the engine to me seems really healthy and built well.
