Tbh your better using one more accurate - doesn't awesome's give silly torque figures??

Any RR with a dyno dynamics setup will be fairly accurate. Sorry can't help with a location though  :sad1:

He will slate your map and tell you he can fix it with one of his


There are a couple of dyno dynamics rollers near Nottingham.  Area52 Motorsport I think one is called

Google dyno dynamics dealer and there's a page that you enter your postcode to find nearest operator  :happy2:

RS Tuning - Heard similar stories about him slating other company maps etc.. i had planned to use him as he is local to get a standard RR figure, before i do anything.

Midland VW or R-Tech in Hinckley near Leicester. It's quite close depending on which part of the West Mids you're in

i've used them - don't be fooled by appearance of their unit. the stuff Nick doesn't know about the 2.0T ain't worth knowing.

i think officially their price for an RR session is £40 - but call them up and mention you're a forum member and they will RR your car for a VERY generous rate.

Thanks, will give them a bell. Appearances dont bother me at all, only whether they are any good! The worst looking garages can often house the best mechanics/experts in their field.
