Seconded to Alan regarding bad tune. Cold start issues, rough idle etc. It's not an easy job to setup good maps for heavily modified engine, sometimes you will need to sacrifice some to achieve goal in other areas. Especially if you run very aggressive camshafts with high lift and big turbo. Anyway, it's job for good reputable tuner to work out and address issues.
I can recommend following places for you Neal, but you have to be aware that it's gonna be uneasy talk with tuners (usually they not keen on putting back together someone other job), and also it will involve some serious money, so here is the list (not particular order):
- Gaz @CPP (near Crewe)

- Mark Shead @M.A.Developments (Berkshire)

Ben would be my choice. He knows VR4s and Vipec.
I'm trying to organise it now with ben i've got a feeling its going to cost a pretty penny to get the car down there it works out to be about 3 half hours away.
Will do Gib thanks alot buddy
Well i've tryed searching Shipsy & a few other websites but can't get the car down to Ben for this weekend,I'm not quite sure why Ben wanted it for this weekend but i look like having to phone him & trying to get it down for sometime next week if he isn't to busy to take delivery of it.
just out of interest how much were quoted to transpost the car?
There are a few car transporter guys on ebay based around Yorkshire, ( can't remember where about in uk you are)

I am in Manchester, but I was just wondering on the price for maybe future purchases of cars.
Is it fixed initial price then £1 a mile after that if so it would make a 250 mile pickup a bit pricey.
I think Louis was replying to Neal, Dave.
When I last got a quote a few years ago it was a fixed initial fee plus cost per mile. I would imagine there's a general 'industry' standard pricing policy such as this and then the odd company which will be open to negotiation on a price.
For me it turned out cheaper (and more enjoyable) to drive 150ish miles to a port, pay for 4 passenger ferry fares, a car ferry fare back, then 2 cars driving the 150 miles from the port. What I'm saying is that it isn't the cheapest of transport options but then it's a monopolistic industry...... in rip-off Britain!

This thread is a it of a joke Neal. We have spoken about the issues with your car and why they are there. This engine is no longer a standard 6a13tt. As for what is wrong with it, it may have lifted the heads when it ran 2bar.. Bearing in mind that at 1.2bar it made 540bhp which is Clearly something to be laughed at. As for caring I do.... I currently work for a motorsport company where I map and run £150K engines for endurance racing.... But what do I know about engine calibration? Why has it been taken From gr performance? Your knew the deal eat due to time.if you would like to continue slating me online neal you will soon hear from my lawyer

Sounds more like its cooked the head gaskets if it over heats that quickly. 2 sounds like at all that boost the heads have lifted. 3rd i dont understand who build your engine to the point you cant fit 2 fans in ok yes there isnt loads of room but ive got the stock heat sheilds on and have a 52mm thick rad and 2 fan units run from the stock fan relay and i can still see daylight past the fans and heat sheild let a loan the turbos. I put your clearance down to poor design and very poor thinking before building.
