People's view on regal

[Bow]

Well getting close to the amount I want to spend on tuning, regal seem to be closest to me and seen few cars tuned by them, just want to get a rough idea on them. Also going to talk to r tech as well as so many praise them cheers all

A couple of people on here have been happy with their service, but a few have had a not so good experience.
I have no personal experience of either but would plump for R-Tech, they will look after you very well.

Lol I was wondering when the r tech love would start... I just sent them a mail on edition38 and they been sending me quotes and info. I will copy and paste up tomorrow see what people think.

I've heard plenty of bad stories about tuning Corsa VXRs at Regal.

I would use them for buying things off - I'm going to be buying an EVOMs intake from them if I stick with the car, but I wouldn't let them map it lol.

The problem is, it is very hard to get an honest view on most things as it is human nature to promote our choices and cleverly ignore any downsides. Your have to claw your way through the fog and do your research.  Engine maps are always the biggest point of contention, for some reason once you get a map on your car you become part of a religious group.  

With Saint Steve now being a recent convert to R-Tech I can see it ending up like the Wako siege.

If you are close to Regal then Portsmouth and JKM can't be that far away.

I'm near Bath. Regal about hour and twenty minutes. I would rather travel further for the better tuner. This is what they have said

Our personal favourite is the Milltek as you've mentioned! Many, many of our customers are super happy with these systems we install! Take a look at the prices below...
 
Milltek Turboback w/ High-Flow Sports Cat (Non Resonated) - £1100
Milltek Turboback w/ FULL DECAT (Non Resonated) - £840

If you were to come to us to have this installed we'd charge £288 and throw in a before and after rolling road run on our dyno FOC (usually £130).

R tech is always worth the journey, as the journey back is twice as fun

Regal had a bad name when i was into Vauxhalls like 6-7 years ago!
Doubt it has improved.

And i dont get the whole Milltek loving, i personal think there system are over priced and not very well made, had 2 Audi S4 with Milltek systems and both didnt fit very well and one snapped a hanger.

I wouldn;t trust Regal or JKM... based on their rolling road...

JKM rollers my car made 319bhp got some snotty email to say it was actually making close to 330bhp, well why didn;t the graph show this>?... Regals the following Saturday made 382bhp - Utter joke... Use AKS Tuning or R-Tech!!

In fairness to Regal, Corsa Vxr's have always melted pistons from day one, even on standard cars. I have never been to any so cant comment but there is a lot of fanboy love for R tech

Think I need to call r tech for a chat what exhaust should I go for I want a nice burble.

They do have some problems but when they take a Corsa VXR to stage 3 on standard internals, telling the guy it would be fine and a few weeks later it blows a hole in the side of the block....?

Rtech is not fanboyism, it's because they are good. I've had my TDI worked on by them and my GTI will be getting their treatment as well.
