I'd go for TDI (torque developments industries) they are one of if not the best jap car tuner in the uk, plus my car is there at the moment having a full rebuild and a massively altered hybrid version of my CT26 turbo, its going to something new and it hasnt been done before, so quite excited about the outcome!
Back to TDI though.... they are very good at what they do and everything is finished and put together so well! put it this way, 1 of there mechanics came from prodrive, another from BAR honda, and another came from abbey motorsport, they know what there doing!

hope that helps a little!

give them a call and speak to either mark or sam there both very helpful and will go into great depth's in finding and explaining the best package for your needs.

i heard its luck of the draw with abbey motorsport.

One of the guys is really cleud up and is top dog..... the other is a bit hit and miss and you end up with a nice power figure, just not that useable.

Last I heard GT-ART are the only UK HKS dealer to have access to the old software to map a FCON V.

If you have bought this to flick it on then stick an PFC on it as they are dirt cheap and loads of people can map them. I say this as most people won't buy a car with a HKS piggy back as they know there options are limited mapping wise is terms of geography.

Nod.

well the hks camp is just a gauge system, so you could still keep that and go to a power fc, I have a guy i'm working with now who does all my mapping. Got a deal for my customers with him. Uses the same state of the art dyno as thor. :)

Agreed, the HKS FCON is old technology now. You'd be better off upgrading to something more people can map too.

I'm not sure if Rogue can do the F-Con. If not, as has already been said, TDi in Essex are very professional and can definitely map it. They have a top quality hub dyno on site too.

I however did go for the Motec when it came time to upgrade, simply because more people can map it and it's more 'upgradeable'. Depends on how set you are on the F-Con I guess, is it already fitted?

Have to agree with Michael. The FCON is an excellent peice of kit, but your very limited when in comes to mapping.

Get a MoTeC and never look back. :wink:

Ditch the Fcon, it was old hat a few years back. If you dont want the expense of MOTEC then a PowerFC will be better than the Fcon and opens you up to a raft of tuners.

I didn't think Rogue actually mapped cars. They take them to THOR which is literally around the corner. :lol:
