Meabh- yep that’s the bunch. About 30 miles from me so not too far at all and a nice drive out. They do a tornado chip for the ecu at around £450. I figured about the same to install and tune with a 50% buffer for ‘incidentals’. Maybe injectors, air filter etc. I already have librands extractors and a 220 hp RR printout (estimated at crank) so there may be a little more to set free
Hamwich - my plus 8 is ‘94 so possibly the ‘worst’ mix of restrictive injection and cat determined emission regulations. The annual struggle to pass the MOT involves a spare MAF, it makes the car run really badly but meets the emissions so that’s fitted just for an hour then removed. Maybe the tornado chaps can manage to solve this problem too.

My 95 +8 has had a tornado chip and high lift cams fitted back in 97, it also has the dual cats and sails through the Mot. The difference is amazing 6000rpm in each gear if you dare! The torque is sublime the amount of times I've gone round a roundabout in 4th without realising... At 27ys old there are a steady stream of little repairs, non too costly and the more I tinker the more I learn and get comfortable with the Rover V8. I feel that it is all part of my responsibilities in owning such a great car, as for the exhaust note well, so satisfying.
