Visit to VT
Went to Volvo Tuning yesterday for a RICA upgrade and Milltek exhaust. As a motor engineer for some 40 odd years I would like to say how impressed I was with the set-up that Adam and Hamish operate down in Bromsgrove. I spend most of my time nowadays building modified engines for kit and rally cars. As a comparison for BHP increase per £, RICA beats anything that any naturally aspirated modification can produce.
Once I cleared the motorway and returned to the better weather oop north the run on the A34 from Congleton into Manchester was wonderful. A truly worthwhile modification. Many thanks to Adam and Hamish. Pookie |

Smiles per hour when you come away from Vt,
How do you like the millteck, I bet it give's the 5 pot a nice low growl! I went to Vt back in April and got a lot more power than expected with a 19t custom map! Briliant guys can't fault there workmanship and knowledge. |

We have a road tunnel under one of the runways at Manchester Airport not 3 miles from home. Window down, cruise through nice, full throttle awesome.
I'm well pleased. Pookie |
