on a rolling road day, your car goes on the rollers to fine out, bhp, lbft, boost, a/f, and a few other bits and bobs.

i have been looking at some rr around this was today.

anyone used this place before?

just got a price from above, and they wanted 45+vat each for 10+ cars, or 55+vat for less than 10 cars.

feels like on the expensive side to me, so am going to keep looking

We tried to organise one in the ESC a few months ago, we did ours are Eurospec in Guildford, was a good day but could have done with more members coming, we only had 5 turn up but 15+ got their names down, seems like places are not to happy about doing them due to drop outs.

Had a chat with Paul and Richard about dyno's Ian.
First place they said was RCM, it's a bit of a drive but would be well worth it.

There is a place near them but the cooling system isn't great, the fans just aren't up to the job.

With all due respect buddy, running that with no remap is crazy. Unless you intend/can afford to rebuild the car then stop using it or get it mapped.
Carl had his done yesterday by way of ECUtek which is your only option with your car, (unless you go with a different ECU) £550 all in.
Thrashing around in a modified car which hasn't been setup is madness, you can possibly get away with an exhaust but fitting injectors and upping the boost is a no no. You may of got 'away' with it before but that doesn't mean you will again. Is your old car still going ?

Why did you fit bigger injectors by the way ?
And how have you increased the boost, please don't tell me you've fitted a bleed valve.
