Another happy R-Tech customer then  :happy2:

Really can't fault those guys  :notworthy:

Getting excited now, set off tomorrow for Hinkley myself, hotel and there bright and early Thursday morning for by the sound of it 2x Tornado Red Edition DSG's being done one after another.

Glad you had a good day Banham  :happy2:

Will be interesting to see what they would make

Good days are just to come. Going to aks tuning tomorrow so another blast up the motorway  :grin:

R tech by the sounds of it are the only place to go, once I get my gti a trip down there might have to happen at some point. Just out of curiosity how long does all the health checks and mapping take? Just I've never been involved in this kinda thing before.

It seems to be that way i can see why now  :grin: Think it takes a couple of hours 2-3 maybe

Not long at all, I was expecting a little longer.

Cheers

I was there for a couple of hours, it's not like some of these places that plug a computer in, 5 mins later off you go. Nick's team will check out your boost hoses, DV etc and then will do a stock run, and several other dyno runs as Nick perfects your map  :drool:

Always good practise to bring the guys some biscuits  :happy2:

Thanks for that so they don't cut corners and they do a real good job, just how we all like it. Il look forward to it. Il try and and remember some biscuits but wethers their is any left when I arrive is another matter ha

You don't need to change anything. Just check everything is in good working order and replaced if necessary.

For the price that was mentioned earlier I wouldnt be asking for any discounts, especially when you think of the level of service offerd for less than the price of a bluefin and less than half the price of a revo map.

Reading this is making me seriously consider making the 900 mile round trip for a decent map.

Don't be cheapskates, £290 is cheap as it is with the knowledge Nick has on these engines..

Don't be cheapskates, £290 is cheap as it is with the knowledge Nick has on these engines.

so that's 3 so far (not that this is confirmed by Nick)
i understand nick and his staffs  knowledge is excellent
was just looking to save a little if poss in a group buy
its not local to me Hinckley
so will cost to get there and back and yes same for everyone

was just thinking if we have group buys for miltek or revo or bluefin etc...
i guess they are more expensive but still a group buy and every little discount always helps

i don't want to upset nick or any board members or start off on the wrong foot
just thought it would be ok to ask or test the water

Maybe speak to Nick, perhaps he would be willing to do a load of cars in one day but if I remember correctly (and tbh I probably don't  :signLOL: :signLOL:) there was talk on uk-mkivs (the main forum I use) about a group buy.

Nick wouldn't do group buys because a) the time taken to properly do a car would not leave a lot of people to get done b) there's always someone who's got a boost leak or duff N75 which causes problems and c) He felt the cost was already good.

If it helps swing anything I paid £300 for my custom R-tech map 2 years ago, and the map Darkside put on it cost £400 PLUS vat.
I know some companies charge double that!  :ashamed:

b) there's always someone who's got a boost leak or duff N75 which causes problems and
c) He felt the cost was already good.

A ) i guess it takes 2/3 hours a car then 3 cars a day makes 9 hours plus tea breaks etc.....
so time wise 3 cars a day so maybe group buy is not poss

C )He felt the cost was already good

i also think £290 is fair price when you look at others Companies mention no names
and nicks knowledge and skills plus many satisfied customers from many forums
