Tuners in the North West area

[lord-of-creation]

Does anyone know of any good tuners/remap specialists in the North (talking around Leeds area but can be as far as Sheffield, Manchester, Hull etc). Not after those who just provide a generic map from the back of a van. Looking for reputable companies who have Dynos etc

Seconded on well lane.

Well Lane is dodgy as hell!

I would never trust them with any vehicle.

I know of scooby owners, RS turbo owner and a google will show you many more.

I know of TDI North and they are very good, but they are Japanese based.

I'd vote for Tdi North... I've used them for years. Paul's background is with Garrett turbo and the Jap thing was really because he saw a niche in the market at the time. Top chaps!

As i'm looking to get a fiat remapped, then I don't think TDI-North would be too interested.

Was set to get it done by a place in Leeds until he clocked on I was talking about the t-jet and not m-jet and said his tools can't currently remap a t-jet.

I had my Civic setup at TDiNorth - totally forgot about those guys...

And awesomegti somewhere over there in the same direction...

What is it you have and what are you wanting? Might help narrow things down a bit for you...

I know a man in York who specialises in Fiat.

He may not be able to do a rolling road map, but will be able to tell you anything you need to know.

Is there a Fiat owners forum you could join and ask the same question?

That's how I found Tdi.

There is probably an Abarth or similar club that could advise on which tuners can remap a T-Jet.

Just found these via Google...

It's a fiat grande punto t-jet

Recently added a new full custom exhaust system and GSR induction kit so just looking a remap to get the most out of them. Then in a few months, i'll be adding a few other mods such as intercooler, abarth turbo etc so will be looking to get it mapped again.

Heard some bad things about that company.

The place that most Punto owners go to is Red Dot in London as they do a cracking job, but it is a long way to travel for me

Personally I would wait until the intercooler and turbo were fitted before getting a map.

However if you wanted both, then I'd suggest sending an email to the garage I said. Johnny is involved in the fiat scenes, so I don't think he will mind helping out.

You get back what you put into something... i.e. you get what you pay for..
May be worth the journey to get something you want.

Can't remember the name of the place but their number is 08707708690. I think anyway. They did my MoTEC as I presume thats why the number is in my phone under MoTEC

In all honestly, if you have a strongly recommended tuner, I'd make the distance.

I was living in Northampton when I first started to drive to Warrington to get to Tdi.

Just make a day of it, take a mate along etc etc.

[Dave^]

I'd ask the mods to move this into the FIAT section to be honest... you'll have more luck in there rather than everyone suggesting random (Mostly Jap) places...

Absolutely make a call to Stewart Sanderson at Motorsport Developments in Blackpool. These guys have been in the tuning game a long time and font just stick chips in or remap various parameters, they actually make their own chips. Recently launched a separate company called Evolution Chips.

There's a very good reason that high power Cosworth owners travel a long way to have work done by these guys.
