As with all tuners - there are people who have great experiences, and people that have bad experiences. Its the unhappy punters that tend to shout loudest though!
Normally a case of suck it n see - have a chat with them first, face to face... If you're uneasy about any aspect of them or there operation - walk away and find someone else.
Case the place for: Type of cars in the workshop, state of the workshop, state of the mechanics/tuners, knowledge of subject.
Never go for second best - its always more expensive in the long run.

Got a reply back from SCC Performance and there pricing seems very good indeed.
Awaiting to hear back from MAD and then will make my decision.
Will have some pictures of it tomorrow. Also just given it a full valet and it looks lovely.

I've used Harvey @ SCS, Mark Shead @ MAD and St Albans car clinic and they've all been tops for me. I've always come away knowing that none of the above have tried lifting my leg and baffling me with algebra, etc, etc ...... Never used PE as they seemed uninterested and expensive.

Hi Guys,
Getting it serviced at a local garage which was recommended to me by my mate and his father who have both had cosworths for years. They use them
Then off to SCC in St Albans...they get my vote, not knocking the others but these guys seemed resonable and were recommended.

I have the green injectors already in it....so may go stage 2....but don't want an upgraded head gasket just yet.
I am going to speak to them and see what they reckon.
I want about 280-300 Bhp...as a mate of mine has a P1 ans I want to beat him in my 6k car versus his 19k car

Be careful of RichPON at SCC, he is as bent as a five bob watch... Shame the picture uploader isn't working, as I have some well incriminating bondage photos nicked from his coffee table and scanned in embarrass him with!
LOL
For servicing etc you can't go wrong with SCC. Thorough and professional (just don't let Rich touch your car or it will catch rust).
However, for re-chips etc, I would have chosen MAD or SCS, as they use Ahmed Bayjoo chips.

MAD must have used a good chip in mine 500+Bhp&490ft/lb on the Dyno. Bayjoo chips are available from MAD but Mark is now into Autronics ECU's.

Depends which green injectors you have!!
If they are 355s'(light greens) then they are sh!te and only slightly bigger than standard. If they are 803s'(dark greens) then your sorted.
You can't go wrong with SCC either.
