West performance or whatever they are called are putting one in. His site is on Thruxton race circuit. He is very good. Mine is in there Friday afternoon to make sure the car is performing to its optimum with its Trust exhaust and induction kit.

Thanks for the links Jen. Any idea what they charge to run the car up?

There is Tuning Japanese which is in Aldershot, although my preference is Power Engineering a little further away.

Gary, while you're there, you might want to also get them to do your 4-wheel alignment. Costs about 70-80 quid and takes up to a couple of hours, but well worth it and it transforms the handling of the car and can also extend the life of the tyres. Not sure if the bumpsteer mod is as significant on the MY03 cars, but we had this done on our '98 turbo for an extra 50 quid and it completely removes understeer and makes the car far more neutral during braking and cornering. These guys are renowned for their "handling mods" and give honest advice about what will improve the car and what won't.

Cheers for the advice Chris ..i was looking at your thread about that earlier ..... may have it done as well. I have a friend of mine in that trade who has the correct info and kit so i may let him do it though.

Any idea how their RR compares? Looking on here people say there are big differences between roads at different sites ...any experience of this?

We've only been on the PE rolling road and achieved 251bhp/231 lb/ft torque with replacement air filter and full decat on our UK 98 turbo, on a warm day . You could have a look on here to see how much it varies.
