Gutted as i now have to get it rebuilt again and them get it remapped and the only guy I can think of to do it other than the guy who did it is in Kent... :cry:

John and George at Extreme are very good, I use them too. I try and do most of my work myself other than stuff that need ramps etc which is when I use Extreme. Gearboxes, diffs etc. Russ at Wallace is very good and lets me use his Dyno to tweak the maps and gives excellent input too. Then I usually do some road tweaking also. :thumbsup
Ah that's a real shame. I take it whoever did it is not covering it under warranty?
