I have that Lohen stage 1 + milltek catback in my 2003 S.
I don't have experience of any other companies tunes, but I'm certainly happy with this one.

There's a good write up of the fitting of the tunes at carfreaks.net website content area (sorry, cant post links yet), you might find that interesting.

you are right i should of gat a baseline figure first but the money was just burning a hole in my pocket. lohen are looking into the problem and say that it will be on the rollers again this week to check it. if it isn't doing as it should with the package i think they will return the car to standard and then get a baseline figure as a standard car. if the car performs as it should di when standard i will be getting my money back and the car left as standard.

That is the great thing about Lohen. They will work hard to make sure you (the customer) are happy.

You are in good hands.

neilracer1 · Nov 27th, 2007, 04:01 PM

i agree they are doing everything they can. they will be keeping the car till the end of the week. they say they have a few ppl looking at it so that they can get a second opinion.

I have been down to lohen, gtt and 1320 for parts to be fitted on my car and all of them are excellent at what they do.

neilracer1 · Dec 3rd, 2007, 07:16 PM

i have the car back now and it was put on the rolling road at power station by lohen and is now making 223.8bhp. at an extra cost of £306 for dianostics. rolling road time and a new bypass valve.

Damo · Dec 3rd, 2007, 07:19 PM

Good to here its sorted. I had my bypass valve "optimised"

a week or 2 after we did the pulley. Very easy mod. Didn't seem to give me much power but smoother delivery and smoother on/off the throttle

isn't that where the grub screw that acts as a stopper is just turned a bit.

Damo · Dec 3rd, 2007, 08:58 PM
