+1 for enginetuner here.
You can't beat the knowledge and straight talking of Alan. The enthusiasm of Martyn to try new ideas and push boundaries. And a lovely cup of tea from the ladies in the office. Everything all done in house, so no worries about finger pointing and blaming should there be any problems.
They built my 2.5 for my 08 hatch. Told em exactly what I wanted, a 450bhp road car. Given a drive in drive out price and thats exactly how it works.
Engine is running at 453bhp and has now done 10,000 miles and I have every confidence in it doing many many more.

I'm sure by now, the OP is suitably confused, as almost always happens with these "which ****** should I use" threads.

Well, various posters have suggested a number of companies, why not give em a ring and see who you're most comfortable with?

Be aware though, for a genuine 450-500bhp RELIABLE conversion on a Hawk, you're looking at a 5 figure sum!

Personally i would not used API as a good friend of mine has had a very bad experience with them but thats another story!

Someone to defiantly look at though is Scooby projects in ledbury, Hereford shire, they are up and coming and do all my work on my car now and the service you recieve is very very good. Keith is a top bloke. There website is www.scoobyprojects.co.uk for anyone who is interested

Hope this helps a little

Isn't it amazing that ' a good friend ' has had a bad experience, but the 'good friend' never confronts the person being complained about, he lets others do it by innuendo [ look it up ] for him.

If there is something to say - for pity's sake ring us and talk, don't just throw mud.
