Any ideas, are they still going?
Cheers people

Another case of a tuner taking the piss, I hate the ba$tards especially the ones in the renault tuning game, most sell sub standard parts that you dont need out of pony materials. Never ever use them again for anything, I would rather make it myself.:sad2:
The exactly the same story can also be said about Angelworks....they used to be big on the renault tuning scene but ended up shafting alot of customers bigtime :dearme:

thats one i always wondered about, he talked the talk that ben? fella, but there were a few unhappy people kicking about..
what dirts going about on that fall from grace..

Happened quite a few years ago from what i remember, there were some simply shocking threads about what they did to their last few customers.
Ben who ran the show tbf did know his shizzle regarding building engines and mapping, and his white clio 16v that he had as a demo car running on throttle bodies was a weapon (will try and find a youtube vid of it)
He built up alot of respect on cliosport spending hours helping others and had a post count of like 17,000.
to cut along story short, after a few years in business he lost all interest in the tuning scene and abused peoples trust, robbing people of alot of money:(

to be honest most people on here DIY it with help from other members on here, the info you can get off here is probably better than whats available at tuners
ive only used ktec once in 8 years ownership and that was for a side exit exhaust and it was a straight forward transaction, but i mostly used ep motorsport in stoke(ceased trading) and they were good from my experience and parts were from gsf
the best thing you could of done is join up on here, save yourself alot of money from going tuners, get your hands dirty and you will learn things along the way

sure lancia s4 compound charged used this as anti lag , but would need to have the pipe feed fairly close to turbine ,and would need to be of a small diameter to make enough pressure to spin the above, will let you know if it works on mine in a few weeks ;)

How could that ugly goon ''invent'' something that had been around for years on manufacturers cars already:scared:

Must admit if Matthew was chasing me around I'd probably lock myself in an office as well lol
Loving the above pic Mr C :laugh:
If I recall correctly I had a recycling dump valve on my 5 in about 1994.
Does that mean I invented it before he did :rolleyes:
No I just used one from some other car. Was there anything other that recycling back then?
That was before GT Tuning was selling £15 Ford dump valves for £150 to 5GTT owners.

Also your right K-tec are the place to go.
Of course I would say that!;)
