Due to the poor reply rate I'll chip in

Welcome to the club PE Are you nearest RR and a lot of people use them... however dont rely on it to give you an acurate bhp readout. Try doing a search for reasons.. There are always lots of good threads in drivetrain about RR's too

o and always worth reading this

happy motoring

I know it's a bit far, but I'd deffo recommend G-Force in Aylesbury. Their RR seems very accurate.

What do you mean by having it 'set up' ?
PE have gained a pretty good reputation recently, they will be able to run your car and do all the diagnostics to see if it's healthy. THen again so can BRD in Kent, Scoobysport or Xtreme in Essex (these three will do it on the road rather than on a RR)(to name a few).
For me running it on the road rather than on a RR is better as it's a more realistic representation of what the car is really like.
Ignore 'accruacy' when judging RR's, concentrate on professionalism and diagnostic ability.
Enjoy the car, pop into 'drivetrain and do a few searches.

the reason i want it set up is because it has a few mods like a full exhaust system HKS air filter as well as other bits and peices
but the main thing is it has a HKS boost controler and i wanted to make sure the fulling was right and im not over boosting it. Has any of u been in a type r I have a 93 WRX at the moment an I couldent belive how much faster it was

Sounds like you've got the same sort of mods as what I have on mine, so you should be close to 300BHP if not over. Just make sure you religously run it on optimax + booster.
As for the Rolling road, I agree G-force is one of the best, just been there a month ago and not a bad word to say about them.
