Yet another satisfied MRC customer

Post by Audi Pardner » Sat Sep 17, 2016 7:35 am

Took the breadvan down to the Banbury boys a couple of weeks ago for a health check, CC, manifold deflap and stage 2 remap. Took the train home and went down 2 days later to collect her.

What a bloody difference :jump: As many forum members have said on here before, the contrast is night and day. Logged 365ps before the work and 427 after, but the most noticeable improvement is the throttle response and the 5k 'kick'. It now feels like I think the car always should have felt, if that makes sense. And changed insurer to LV, who are charging me less with the mods than my old insurer without them :thumbs:

Can't speak highly enough of Doug and the guys. But then you all know that :D

I so need to get this done. However spending nigh on 3 grand in mods on a garage queen isn't easy to justify. Perhaps if we have a get together, I may be swayed!!! ;)

Jay simple way to justify it... Just drive it more :smile_smoking:

Anytime you want to drive a stage 2, just shout buddy.

The work on mine was £1690. Does your estimated £3k include the mods Jay?

The big difference comes from the stage 2 map. For £550 (or whatever it is) it is worth doing now. Don't wait for years to go it then wish you'd done it sooner.

Agree, this part provided the biggest improvement. The health check was necessary too, but I was in two minds about the CC as I know it'll be coked up again in a few thousand miles :audibash:

I wanted manifold ported, tumble flaps removed, pre-cats gutted, stage two and carbon clean. Last time I looked, I think all that came to the high side of 2k.
