Im thinking of using Angel tuning. They do a gold package which consists of re-map, filter and exhaust for £600. I dont know whether to trust them or not

Help anyone?

[malford]

They have very good feedback over on www.talkford.com

Good reputable company!

I'll be going there for a Remap when the time is right!

[daddycoz]

Group buy on the gold packages???

[martinst]

I personally will be going to racebits for a custom remap in the group buy for £185
I got told angel tuning its NOT a custom map. I could be wrong but thats what i was told

[haggis0073]

i am going Wednesday so will report back on experience, only going for the remap but might ask about a new backbox whilst i am there

Their Gold package does full exhaust, remap with test and RR and a competition air filter for 600 all in- let me know what its like and i may be tempted!

Racebits is just too far to travel!

I've spoke to a chap at Angel Tuning (Kilmarnock) and it IS a custom map! (It's technically a tweakable flash map! )

not sure i got enough pennys for all that as i want to get my lowering springs too, was not going to bother with the full system as the one on the car is perfect at the mo, just want to get rid of the fake tail pipe so should not cost much(I hope), i got a K&N panel filter in, not sure what their filter is but would imagine its just another panel filter

If you are wanting a remap and full exhaust system then thats a real good price

Had mine done by Angel in Lemington they asked what i had added and what was removed (egr blank) then wrote a custom programme.

That's exactly what the chap I spoke to said would happen!

[tomsST]

Im tempted to go to angel tuning. Been interested in them a lot. However, I emailed them too and he got back to me with a price of over £900 which like you say, is odd as the website says £600.
I will also point out, i posted a topic like this the other month and this is what I got in reply .........


did have mine booked in 3 weeks ago with angel tuning, i rang to move the map to the following week as i was waitin for my intercooler to arrive, spoke to nigel and he refused point blank to remap my car if i fitted the intercooler!!
started all this blabber about needing a bigger turbo and injectors etc if i was fitting the intercooler..thought sod em n cancelled it.

another guy i knw had his booked in for the same day, and wen they arrived i spoke to the mapper about the refusal to do it, and as soon as i mentioned the name NIGEL, he rolled his eyes!
said the guy dosnt have a clue! .....no sh*t!!
totally put me off angel tuning for good, and since have had 2 friends change their minds too about them.
they use a generic map and thats it, designed for a standard car and not a modified one, he just didnt want to admit that he couldnt tweak it to suit my mods and needs, the mapper said so himself!
had my map done at racebits yesterday and im a happy bunny!

[Oiler55]

Can't fault my Angel re -map did everything before i got them to re-map, de -cat ,k&n and powerflow cat - back exhaust cost was £275 ,the guy came to my house , very helpfull took about 90 mins to re write the programme ,he then told me to take it out and drive it the same as i did before !! i almost shat myself the extra power & torque was incredible ,well worth the money.
