oh i thought they were regarded as quite a good specialist, i take it you got that info from Alfa Owner forum Sean?

No I have had 1st hand dealing with AD and know guys who have spent a LOT of money with AD and not had the quality of service or support expected. They have had one guys car for nearly a year since it lunched the engine they built on a track day they were exhibiting at, from what I heard from someone who saw the damage it looked like they'd bodged a belt together to fit the supercharging system by finding a belt of the right length then chopping some of the teeth off it to make it fit or something...

Couple that with the videos on youtube of the owner of AD blasting around the back streets of london at full throttle in a customers AutoDelta 147 GTA with other traffic on the road with cars parked everywhere it sort of gives you an idea of how professional an outfit they are..

Just do a search on AO for AutoDelta, you'll get some vastly different opinions, some seem to love them some not, I fall into the latter category. Ragazzon aint bad but the Novitec Quad sounds nicer, there was a V6 GTV at Oulton with one on, was lovely, I had Ragazzon on my previous alfa and it was a bit boomy unsilenced.

Thanks for the advice Ghosty........I've looked at the novitec and was tempted after someone on AO had one fitted...Din't know much about them....Could be the way to go as do not want boomy.
