Yesterday I travelled 130 miles(each way!) to P-Torque.
Turned up, to find a rather tasty R8, 2 Mini cooper S' Parked outside and a Lovely Orange S3 inside.
His workshop is spotless, and very well presented. I'm an ex-Renaultsport specialist tech so I know how nice it is to see and work in a clean enviornment.
Will Came out and intorduced himeself, and offered a Drink, Which was nice considering most garages wouldnt offer anything like that! And actually asked if it was ok to Run another car on the rollers before getting mine on! Of course I had no problem with it as the car was there before mine!
Will Ran through a few pre-checks and then Ran it on the rollers before doing the map. Then did a post map run and the results were impressive!
Asked me to take it out for a run before telling me the figures, which I personally see as being very professional, as it allows you to make up your own mind before hearing the increase.
On the journey down, varying speed(60-100leptons) and traffic it averaged 46.9mpg. The return journey, which had alot of accelerating(with a smile!) saw an increase on average of 8mpg!
Without saying final figures as these vary so much between Rolling roads, Increase was 39.2BHP and 66.6lb/ft. And its a totally different car. I wish i had it done sooner!
Can't recommend Will enough, for general customer service, taking the time to speak to you on the phone and in person, he was very welcoming and even supplied 2 stickers for me when I asked! Aswell as his maps. one very very pleased customer.
