To all Scottish and north England owners. I am having a great experience with Falkland performance in Glenrothes. They have been a huge support in getting the car upto speed and nothing has been too much trouble. They don't do mapping but they are a Superchip dealer with a 500 bhp dyno.

They race touring cars in the scottish and uk championships so they definitly know how to tune a car!!!!

You can find their website www.falkland.co.uk or www.scotland.superchips.co.uk.

They have a definite no bul**** attitude!!!

Good to hear although I would advise all to stay away from superchips. Mine had the car running lean for a fair while - all sorts could of happened - thankfully sorted it out and removed the chip before anything did

Just a technical question - if the rolling road is rated at 500 bhp, how did you manage to get 540 whp on it? I don't doubt you did - just curious how.

The car was taken to Knockhill race circuit 18 miles away where they have access to a dyno and it can read upto 1000 whp.

Is that the dyno you mapped it on and not the superchips one?

There are loads of problems with it at the moment and I don't want to run the car at that level as it's life expectancy will be awful. I am waiting for it to be mapped to around 350 whp as it will be much more driveable. The guy who did the mapping was not the best but I am talking to someone in france who is going to be in scotland in a week who is willing to help me get a good map setup.
