I agree, I always trust them and have been using them for years. I took mine to a rolling road day there a couple of months ago and it was a very well run day.

Pity Well Lane Turbo Centre moved otherwise they could dyno your car while you had a cold one at the Railway in Drig smile Looks like they've moved a couple of miles and moved their stock upmarket too - an R8 is on their site.

Ooops, well I wasn't recommending them - just knew they existed and were local. My only experience of them at their old site wasn't great actually. When I was looking for my first Impreza I was interested in one of their cars, but was treated like poo. They wanted me to put a deposit down BEFORE test driving the car - I don't think so. That would have been the most expensive hire car ever.

You sure they have moved? It looks like the same place to me from the pictures and address.

I was born and bred in Batley and I can remember them being located on Well Lane back in the late 80's

My post couldn't have been more useless - it was not a personal recommendation, turns out they have a bad rep, and I "miss-remembered" where they were getmecoat

I'll just keep quiet next time smile

There's a z22se.com/vx220.org dyno day at RS Tuning in Leeds on Saturday, Foxylady will probably be her VX down to get 'a graph'.

I'll prob pop along too between fitting new ball joints see what it's like, all I know thay have a dynodynamics RR there.

I went down to RS Tuning with Foxylady's VX220 as she couldn't make it.

I was impressed with the set up, they provided a good service and gave plots of Wheel HP vs AFR as well as Engine HP vs Engine Torque which not all places do.

The numbers coming off where what I would have expected the see, the car is bog std with an old air filter and it made 140 bhp and 150lbft against a quoted 145 bhp and 155 lbft.
