Roland @ GT Tuning in the UK RULES!!!!

i've been following his threads over on MINI2 for a while and i continue to be very excited about his forthcoming product line for the MINIs. He is like the UK's version of our very own Eric @ Helix or Randy @ WebbMS or even Peter @ M7. He does his own manufacturing and design and only sells what he tests and proves to be up to his standards. check out his newest thread on MINI2: http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82178 i had started this thread a while ago to help introduce Roland's stuff to everyone here on NAM: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=36019 i'm telling you all his stuff looks impressive to me!

Do you know if he will send any of his products (*cough* header/manifold *cough*) to the U.S.? I've been reading his threads as well.

Roland is the guy getting 273 hp with stock ecu and stock injectors; pretty impressive and it saves $ that you can spend at the Porsche dealer buying front brakes to fit on your mini with Roland's kit.

I bet that was a toung in cheek statement.....right

This is how they figure out the Hp.... 212hp x 1.294 = 274.328 ie. 275hp

Translation: 212hp x Euro exchange rate = 275hp
