Has anyone any experience of dealing with them though?

Loading cars onto a dyno is not that big a deal and they are all 4WD so swapping setups from front to rear like 2wd days. With 10-12 cars half a day at a steady but not rushed pace should be there or therabouts.


I'm friends with Robbie on Facebook, but never actually met him or been out there. Probably not much use to you :(

@mike, we don't mind who we go with as long as owners are happy. We'll organise the day either way.
Joe can't do it else that would be our preference and it was disappointing the reply for the alternative we approached but hey ho there ya go. Won't ask them again.

I think what the lads meant Mike, was that TDR have a hub dyno so it would mean buzzing off a wheel mounting the hub dyno rinse and reverse. Doing this on 10 cars could be very time consuming?

True but I was of the thinking it would be 6 of one and half a dozen of the other in terms of the normal setting up of a car on a rollers despite the alternative method.

I get ya. Thinking about it further you are probably right.

Either way, the longer this is pushed off the better :lol: I have my Garrett turbo sitting on a shelf in the shed waiting to be fitted since before Christmas. Just need to get my a**e in gear and get out there and fit it.
