A mate of mine has a Garage in Farnworth near Bolton, RS Auto's 01204 572812  http://www.motsbolton.com/.

They swapped my downpipe for a Milltek one in about an hour max, it wouldn't take 5 mins more to break the old Pre-Cat out though.

No fault code / light. They posted it up on their Facebook page after to advertise removing pre-cats. They have won best garage award for about 4 years so your car is in safe hands :happy2:

Wow..that really is something! Have you had any experience for routine service there?
I might skip awesome for my 100k service if they are really good and reasonably priced.

Yeah I've had cars serviced there. They have the right oil for the TFSI in stock. They are VERY well thought of round our way.

Coz when I took mine I took the exhaust gasket and new nuts for the turbo studs

Right well i did it today, took about 2.5 hours and it does sound a bit better and i get a lovely pop when i rev it and come off the throttle sometimes so bonus there too. I can feel a bit more power at mid range but after logging it peak power hasnt gone up atall, the highest reading is exactly the same as the log i did the other night.

Peak power won't suddenly change, the benefits are made apparent during mapping. How are you logging peak power?
