I don't like the sound of the "surging" or yo-yo at low revs, I imagine they didn't spend too much time in any sort of traffic for their review, and it could get REALLY annoying if you did I imagine.

No it doesn't sound too clever, still they seem to give it a good 4 out of 5.

You hit the nail on the head!

Cant read the review above but I dont like the sound of the Yo-Yo effect, also does it mention a price? and is all that power just from an ECU upgrade? (goes to buy evo..... how much!!!!!!)

£1600 with the exhaust and remap fitted, £600 ecu only. So not a massive saving from the OEM JCW stage 1, which most I'm sure will go for.

Hi,I think from a tuners point of view you have to assume most people who want more power from their R56 MCs will go the JCw route anyway as it seems reasonable value,therefore its important to design products that work/compliment (add more power) to these cars as well as stock examples.Therefore designing a GTT remap & GTT cat back becomes lower priority .This is very much in contrast with the old MCS where most tuners designed kits to compete against the JCW. (us included) Mind you we cover both here as we do upgrade kits specifically for cars already fitted with JCW210 aswell.
Best Regards Roland GTT

Hi Roland

Do you have any plans to test different suspension setups for the R56?

I think quite a few owners have issues with the ride height of the new model and would be looking for options on how to lower their cars with best results. I know you are a big fan of the PSS9 setup, is this an option?
