Never used PE but always remember them being accused of having one that over reads.
Only saying what has been said on here before.

Unhappy

Used to be one about 5miles from the seacat in Poole but due to some 'issues' with the previous 'owner' Bosch have apparently been round to dig it all up

both PE and PS are said to make standard figures on standard cars, yet cars all struggle to break 300bhp at power station. Dont know why.

an F360 got 399 when supposedly should have made 400 so it sounds promising. The same can said for chins cars at PE, so who knows what to believe.

Tuning Japenese is in Aldershot

Agree though about PE - most other cars seem to get book figures so balances the theory that scoobs are all up on manufacturers stated power. Chins Audi S3 hit book stats as did Druddles 172 and his mates CTR wasn't far off the nail either......

On a related question. How much would a four wheel RR cost?

I know that the equimpent is only one part and it's really the team behind it that know how to use it and how/why the car is/is not making the power it should be.

Would be nice to have a good RR in my local area.
