Anyone heard of this company to get turbo from?



MCG

If it is BBPT, people will have to beware, because BBPT's after service was appauling, they were threatening customers who had problems with their cars.
 
  Trophy,R26,GSXR1000
Hmmm, the bit where it says tested at the nurburg was that not the mbperformance kit that was extensively tested there?
 
  RB 200 Cup!

I personnally never had any problems with BB, nor did any of my friends or local people that I new of deal with them for both Renault and Vauxhall stuff. I'm not disputing people did have problems but it doesn't take much before a company can get a bad rep once it gets onto any kind of forum. Alot of tuners fall foul of forums

It doesn't appear to me to be BB either. The cars, parts used and style just doesn't seem to match anything they did in all the years of work they did previously.

Have anyone ever hear of Torsion Tuning? John Metz? Put a 5 turbo lump in a grey Mk1 clio shell, then a 1.8 16v lump in a red 5 turbo shell? was in PFC mag years back. I had them work on my 5 when I had it years ago and this is where they worked from. Last time I heard they were still there. Top guys aswell, couldn't fault them.

I stand corrected. Good call Fred.

A friend that still deals with Andy of BB has just told me he's got the workshop next to Torsion Tuning.

Glad to see him back up and running. Regardless of previous troubles, he can certainly build a good Renault engine!

yeah Andy is a good lad, as you say they may of had problems/made mistakes in the past and that is the past, good to see him back

Bit s**t they only sell it fitted. Take labour off and you can probably save about £500. Actually tempted by this!
 
  SQ5
I've emailed a few times, seems a sound bloke. Just waiting for a demo car with it fitted so I can test drive one :)

there must be sometihng different to this kit compared to the ktec one? price difference is substancial. Is forged pistons included etc.

im booked in for this on the 7th of november, i was going to go to K-tec but after what i feel is bad service after spending just shy of £1800 over the last year i booked my car in with these guys, so will see what happens guys seem really good on the phone but proof will be in the end result.
 
  SQ5
They never got back to me after saying they'll get back to me when they're ready to do it.

WTF are you advertising if not ready with parts! I had high hopes but they were dashed. S/C FTW!
 
  Clio 172 Cup
who knows lol they phoned me twice even moved some bits round to fit my car in round the dates i wanted it done so cant fault them so far

IIRC, BB Tuning had the turbo conversion up and running before K-Tec had and there demo car was certainly impressive. The kit they used were not cheap parts, and Andy certainly new the inside of any Renault engine.

I'm not saying he's the best and only, but until someone has had the conversion done I think it's a little unfair for people that don't know the details to be putting it down. It's sp frustrating being a part of this forum with people like that.

Just been reading up on their website at the cams, £400 and they say on there that they could get gains to 212bhp, surely it means with itbs fitted aswell. heres the link

cheap for cams! i worked on their old blue 182 demo car that was allegedly 220bhp (high comp engine with 421's IIRC) it was quick, but not 220bhp quick, peaky as hell
