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. :happy2:

You are such a fan boy!! :popcornsoda:

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. :fighting2:
With Saint Steve now being a recent convert to R-Tech I can see it ending up like the Wako siege. :rolleye:

If you are close to Regal then Portsmouth and JKM can't be that far away. :happy2:

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
Evolution Motorsports V-Flow Cold Air Intake - £285
Evolution Motorsports MAF Heatsheild
Evolution Motorsports T FSI Engine Cover - £95
REVO Catch Can Kit - £235
REVO Stage 2 Software - £527.04 (as part of the Summer Sale)
REVO DSG Stage 2 Software - £383.04 (as part of the Summer Sale)
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).

JKM :happy2:
-
R tech is always worth the journey, as the journey back is twice as fun :party:
-
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 :happy2:
-
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.

Fair enough haha, I dont doubt that r tech are good was just a little joke ;) :laugh:

Im personally running a Piper one box system, its loud but i like it like that.
Alot of people rave on about BCS exhausts but ive never had one.

Was gonna say any more Revo lovers wanna add a Thankyou before I post? Lol
Depending on where you live, either JKM or R Tech. I would send my worst enemy to Regal, here's hoping Top Cat takes my advice :-P

:signLOL:
I have a BCS Powervalve Sports TBE, and love it. But I can only compare it to standard as not had any other. Its slightly above stock when cruising around and gets nice and loud when giving it the beans :happy2:
I've really been enjoying it this summer with the windows down :driver:

Not sure if the link will work because it is off my facebook, but my GTi with 3" Toyosports downpipe and decat with a Piper Exhaust system

If your willing to travel then you can't go wrong at R-Tech. That's a fact :happy2:
People say there are a lot of fanboys, I think it's because there aren't any bad reviews to balance it out :wink:
If your after a reputable garage to upload a map that's local to you, as others have said JKM are very capable and knowledgable when it comes to the TFSI :happy2:

Hoping to take my tdi to regal. The only bad things iv heard is about there customer service. If the do revo maps surely they can't mess that up?

Main thing against Regal Ben, is there's a much better place just 15 miles down the road in JKM :wink:
Why use somewhere with crap customer aftercare service??
-
Yeah I guess. Just that regal is 5 mins from me. And jkm's dunk is "out of order" so would get the free dyno with the revo map as per offer.
