I'm still mulling over the options for my car which are:


Owen developments hybrid turbo
Focus RS.2 Turbo and injectors


For both ideally I'd need a custom tune - I know MTE can do this, however Marko isn't in the UK very often and it would be a bit of a kerfuffle and i know that a lot of people swear by RICA.

Anyone know a RICA hound who can handle the specialist custom tunes up north? (i.e. north of Birmingham) Ideally I'd want someone who's going to tune on the rollers and the road if i get this done - who runs a serious tuning outfit with a good reputation.

Names + websites appreciated so I can do some 'investigating'

Cheers :) Ben

Stu at motorsport developments in blackpool is very capable of custom mapping on ME7 systems. It may be worth giving him a call to see what he can offer.

If you are going to the expense of a new turbo and injectors. Why not go down the Gt series route, a ball bearing option with custom oil/water lines and an S60r/late T5 manifold?

I travelled to RICA HQ for my custom map... worth it to get the best guys on the case. I was impressed.
