As they are literally 10 minutes from me Im thinking to get the car checked and remapped by them. They mention the gear box is also reprogrammed so same sort of offering as the other more mentioned firms on here.
Anyone have any experiance with them?

Re: West Tuning
Can't say I have ever heard them mentioned on here. I would do some research before using them mate, me personally, I would drive to MRC and let the masters do it

I remember when my car was on the rollers and Mihnea showed me all the runs from "tuners" that didn't even make standard power.

Re: West Tuning
Dont know them. Do they use their own program or buy it in from elsewhere? Its good they modify the gearbox though and a sign they know what they're doing....

Re: West Tuning
Never ever heard of them. I am not actually one for being a sheep but when it comes to things like remapping, I stick with the big names and it hasn't bitten me on the backside yet....

Re: West Tuning
they are quite known within bmw groups i only live 20 mins away from them but have never been there either!
Re: West Tuning
I'd check to see whose remap they use first, is it a custom one created by them or is it a brand name they 'bought in' .
If its a custom one, why haven't we heard about it on here before, if its a brand one , depend whose it is depends if its any good or reliable .
Id be more concerned with whose g/box remap they use than the engine one.
they could be a top job firm, but as we are talking slightly specialist ( not your average run of the mill car) , it wont hurt to ask all the right questions first.

What has mine eaten so far, ah yes, pretty well nothing. Gearbox will pop at some point, room of care on that one.

Re: West Tuning
