It's in Portsmouth, I went there for a rolling road day on Saturday and didn't take long to get there - about 35 miles from Worthing where I am.

I got 190.9bhp :( I dunno why...Some ppl think the rollers are out, as others got under what they got in other places. Or my intake temps were too hot after sitting still with the engine running for a few mins after warming it up. Or I have a problem. I dunno, but I seem to have a big load of torque and then it fades off.

hmmm, last place i went for RR was TSR in bridgewater and i got smack on 180bhp with no mods :shrug: mine definitely feels loads more powerful since remap hope its puttin out more than 191!

Back on topic tho, id really like a milltek.. anyone reckon its possible to cut and insert a small piece of appropriatley sized pipe to make it stick out a small amount, or would that not be recommended?

Well if your keeping the standard downpipe and cat then as far as I know you need to cut the pipe so it should be pretty simple to cut the pipe abit further back to help it stick out more.

I wouldnt trust TSR mate. They have done nowt but mess things up for me and a lot of people I know. I had a remap - exhuast - induction kit and they said I had 150bhp (130 standard). And they said I was loosing 50bhp from engine to wheels! :blink: Which is quite a bit! :(

i've not heard great things about them either tbh, but their RR got my car spot on factory spec :shrug: tho i was losing 40 odd bhp from engine to wheels too..

Don't think so... JKM are one of the most reliable RR operators I know, plus they use Dyno-Dynamics so you aren't going to get any better than that unless you use an engine dyno machine!

I found that all my figures were perfectly rounded. for eg it was like 150.4bhp. it was 150.0bhp and the torque figures were the same. Not .1 out.

Not unless my car is just perfect! :D :lol:

Yea well some other ppl have said the dyno could be out. So I guess I have a problem then if the remap is fine.

The P-Torque guy thinks the rollers could be out or a hardware prob with the car, but dont know what it could be.

Might not even be able to get to JKM now anyway with my alloy problem :(
