so ive had another great quote for a build using all new parts, i was also given the option of upgrading various parts like rods (i was given 4 different options). the engine will take 550bhp perhaps more dependant upon which rods etc i choose. the quote was from alyn @ as performance, truly a top guy and response was double quick time with everything explained fully.
he is the 2nd tuner to say that around 500bhp would be ok with extreme 11mm head-studs but for further future-proofing the 14mm is the way to go.
so now i have a real problem...........who do i use?
tuner A is fekking miles away BUT does everything i need including ecu so supply/build/map all in one place, build would be re-using my block/pistons/crank.
tuner B is on my doorstep and does everything i need apart from the ecu i want, the build is a brand new build.
tuner C is build only using all new parts (no mapping or fitting) just supply engine only
all of them have been more than helpful and there isnt a great deal in prices so it doesnt really come down to that.
Go with Mark at THWAITES he is on your doorstep makes things a lot easier.
Also doesn’t he give a warranty??
not sure on the warranty. I would live to use thwaites BUT he doesn't do the ecu that I would like. I am there on Friday so I will speak with him to see if he would fit and map the ecu I want if I supplied it.
I have 0 issues with thwaites and trust them completely but I've made my mind up on what I want so hopefully we can cut a deal.
