We bought the dyno first
Most tuning outfits buy a laptop and a cable. We spent the money on a four-wheel rolling road before we took a booking, because without one every figure is a claim.
Come and watch
You can stand at the glass while your own car is measured. Most people do.
No obligation. We price it before anything is touched.
A number nobody could prove
The first car we ever mapped gained, by our own estimate, about forty horsepower. We had no idea. We told the owner a number because that was what everyone did, and it bothered us for a year.
So we bought a rolling road before we could really afford one, and it changed what the business is. Not because the figures got better — some got worse than we had been claiming — but because from that point on every number we said out loud was one we had watched a machine produce.
It also changed what we turn down. Once you can measure, you find out quickly that a lot of what the trade sells does very little, and it becomes hard to keep selling it.
What is actually on the floor
Equipment is the only honest differentiator in this trade. Anyone can buy software.
A four-wheel rolling road
Rated to 2,000bhp, in our own building. It is the reason people drive past three other tuners to get here.
Full manufacturer-level diagnostics
So a fault gets identified before anybody opens the ECU, not blamed on the map afterwards.
Bench tuning equipment
For the ECUs the manufacturer has locked through the diagnostic port. The unit comes out and goes back in.
Our own file writing
Files are written here against our dyno data. We do not buy them in and resell them, which is common and rarely admitted.
An archive going back to 2014
Every original file we have ever read, kept. If you come back in six years, yours is still there.
A waiting room looking into the dyno cell
You can watch your own car being measured. That is the whole point of having a dyno.
What we won’t do
Nobody advertises the work they turn away, which is exactly why this is the most useful section on the site.
Sell you a harder map to fix a hardware limit
If the intercooler or the clutch is the restriction, more boost finds the limit faster. We quote the part instead.
Delete a DPF or EGR
It is an MOT failure and it is illegal on a road car. We will diagnose why it keeps blocking, which is usually the actual problem.
Map a car with a fault on it
A file written around a misfire hides it for a fortnight. The health check comes first and we will stop if it finds something.
Quote a figure we have not measured
Anybody can promise 420bhp. We measure it and show you, which sometimes means admitting it made less than we hoped.
Who writes your file
The people who log, write and test your file. Ask for any of them by name when you book.
Where we work
Software-only jobs we do at your address — driveway, office car park or yard. Anything that needs measuring comes to the unit, because a rolling road does not travel.
Tell us the job and we will say which one it is before you book.
Come and see it measured.
Book the car in and watch it being measured. You leave with the before and the after on paper, whatever they say.
