anyone bought from them?
good service?

it's for a mate who is building a nova with a c20let turbo for the "King of Europe" in June 2005.

The stuff is good quality and works well which is more than you can say for some of the other major VX tuners in the UK. The parts are rather expensive, but then again you can spend 2K on stuff that works from SBD or 1.5K on parts that give much less extra power from some of the other well known tuners, the choice is yours

SBD don't tend to deal in turbo's much they are mainly based in N/A tuning. ATC is a recognised tuner, other wise a company like EDS in germany would be better to go to than any UK company imo, they ahve the faster FWD nova in europe anyways.

Good company, good service and certainly know their stuff. Bear in mind though that many of the applications they sell are for race, not road engines - like their double valve springs, which distintegrated in my engine destroying it, because they apparently need to be changed every 1500 miles (wish they'd told me that at the time of purchase)

I'm good thanks Alan. You got that 2L in yet? Engine is being rebuilt next month (I've been busy getting hold of all the bits for it). I'm rebuilding it to Swindon Racing's Group A spec - bulletproof valve train assembly and good for 25K miles between rebuilds. Should give me a tad more power as well
