   I am struggling to fined a good tuner for these cars. I am talking to people such as BB and Ktech and there all very helpful but not really what im looking for. Just thought id ask on the off chance but does anyone know any good R5GTT performance tuners?

   Aye think it was running 240bhp.. then the head gasket blew so we sold it on, R5's have had there day i'm afraid they just look for problems... hard to find a clean one nowadays, speedo worked when it wanted to.

   Thanks for the reply. I have got a tatty one I and restoring from the ground up. Its just all the tuners are really boy racer or drag racer oriented and its doing my head in. The basic attitude is turn up the boost and it will be right

   Yeah if you dont want to blow your headgasket/ blow the engine even i wouldn't advise to run much more than 170bhp, And run it on octaine boost
