Have seen them used by Japanese performance magazine and banzai so can't be that bad, I have only been there for a couple of rolling road days but seem to know their stuff.

They were pretty good back in the day, don't hear much about them anymore. IIRC the offices for ECUTek were in the same block (and may still be) so might assume that one was spun off from the other.

My mate used to go down with his RS 500 back in the day - He swore by them, wouldn't go anywhere else! Don't know what they are like nowadays though!

I think he only wants a diagnostic check on the rolling road as he has a sensor down and cannot pinpoint which one..

Hi there near to you is FB Tuning(Maidenhead) or Slowboy Racing(Brands Hatch),GRD(Greenwood Racing Developments) and others.
And about PE i used this company once for fitting the turbo timer and never ever after(this time i ask for remap and this company say you must wait 8 months for EcuTek remap)

Not worth going there,PE have prices almost like stealer/dealer.If you are really looking for servicing/diagnostic take car to FB Tuning or Slowboy Racing.And for rolling road/RR look for Motoworx at Marlow or Surrey Rolling Road
