I can't say as much for Hills, but I have heard some very very bad stories, have a quick google search for hills and read the horror stories. If they are the same mob (name change) that tuned my VL back in the day I would avoid them at all costs. MRC have a very good reputation and Mark has been around for a long time. Give him a call and have a chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRC do a good job, if you must stay in North west go to them, if you got range go see Autotech, think they are site sponsors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an fg xr6 t? With nothing but tune?Ps - is everyone's fg an utter nightmare in the wet? Uncontrollable oversteer on light throttle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclewal Donating Members 583 Member For: 14y 2m 6d Posted 04/09/12 11:11 PM Share Posted 04/09/12 11:11 PM Yep had all the tuning work done on my car by Castlehill Exhaust as well as the exhaust install, made 400kw ATW, Dale the tuner there is pretty good, he had a run in here a while back, but from my personal experience all was good, Both Dale the tuner and Chris the exhaust fabricator and all rounder/mechanic/engine builder are good blokes and easy to talk to. With regards to oversteer in the wet, yes that is normal, try less throttle or better tyres. I have had 2 tunes done by Castle hill exhaust and my only complaint is I paid twice when I should have waited done all the mods then did the tune once.

I have 21 psi on a ba engine! Mad hey!Then went straight to Autotech in Granville and had a retune because 21psi was just plain stupid!17psi! Castle hill is cheaper and you do get what you pay for! If you need a new exhaust go there that's the specialty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
