RS Tuning !!!
« on: November 26, 2012, 09:51:41 pm »
Has anyone used RS Tuning in leeds? and does anyone know if they are any good on MK5 DSG GTI? - If not is it a trip to another Yorkshire Tuner or play it safe and go with the chaps at PDT or R-Tech?

Any help would be great

when my car eventually gets remapped, i will be making the long drive from Leeds to R-Tech in Hinckley. it doesn't matter how good RS might be, i can assure you R-Tech is better.

We always recommend using a local tuner where possible and often send work to other reputable tuners that are more local to the customer, this way if there is ever the need to get hands on help and advice they don't need to travel for it. So if you live right next to RS then go and pay them a visit, ask to see dyno graphs or any previous examples of their software, you might find that keeping things local can work out better in the long run.

Using a tuner that actively uses a forum also helps, can get help after office hours with a simple pm  :signLOL:

it does help if can contact a tuner via a PM and they will respond over a weekend for example.

if OP is in Yorkshire then just go to Statllers simple as.

PDT for North East, R-Tec Midlands

Since going Revo with my car I have been to Piperwerx, PDT, Statllers for tuning servicing which can all be recommended.

Went to RS in 2007 for a map on my 206 HDi, car was flawless for 5 years until sold - same clutch, turbo, injectors etc.

A lot of time may have passed to nullify this but I was over the moon with the quality I got then.
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)
