As I drove away from your Unit, it was immediately obvious that the car had been transformed.

 — Ian, Mitsubishi 3.2 ( Nottingham )

Hi Marc Hoping you are fine-and-dandy? Just getting back to you, after returning to Nottingham last night...basically: it’s all good! As I drove away from your Unit, it was immediately obvious that the car had been transformed. Whereas, there had always been a dead-band between 20-40mph, the vehicle seamlessly accelerated, for the first time. Once getting on to the A1, is was as if the Propulsion System had been exchanged. I had driven up to you, in an underpowered diesel and was now returning home with a Gas Turbine. It was a struggle to keep the car below 60mph, in view of having the Bike and Trailer on the back. Additionally, I was registering in excess of 25mpg on the info display, which I’ve never seen before. In conclusion: what a transformation! Thanks to you and your excellent mechanics the job is a huge success. When I give it a run without the Trailer-I’ll let you know the results. Thanks again, for a top-notch set of Upgrades. Kind regards

I now have no hesitation in recommending these guys.

Asked for a turbocharger for a metro to be fixed / serviced. Was concerned that they might not ... Very happy to report - the price was better than fair, considering I was treated to a Brand New turbo which was still in its new packet. Could not have bought one anywhere at the price Very impressed! The boys took all the bits off the old one and handed them over in 20 minutes It is difficult to take expensive gear to an official business to trust and hope. I now have no hesitation in recommending these guys.

they sorted both these problems and the car is now running like a dream, faster smoother and now getting nearly 70 mile to the gallon.

Just thought i would leave a review for mark at Turbopacs as they did a great job. My 1.6 207 was not driving and was picked up and delivered to them by someone under their recommendation. They did a diagnostic and kept me up to date with everything they found. The turbo was gone and the DPF was blocked. they sorted both these problems and the car is now running like a dream, faster smoother and now getting nearly 70 mile to the gallon. Thanks again mark

I cannot describe how much different the car feel. More power revs higher and so much smoother through the rev range.

Took the old Volvo in for an induction clean to try sort out some running issues I have had with the old girl. Although rather sceptical about if it would have any effect, I cannot describe how much different the car feel. More power revs higher and so much smoother through the rev range.  All for 60 quid plus vat. Its like I own a different car  Thank you guys absolutely over the moon

I was having problems with my car not boosting. I had a feeling it was my egr valve. I took it to a range of garages and they said i needed a new egr valve. So ive brought it to Turbopacs and you have fixed my problem with an induction clean. The induction clean has made a major improvement to the performance of my car without a new egr valve.   Thank you Turbopacs

Where the noticeable difference is mid range in 3, 4, 5, 6th gears. Just basically SQUEEZE the throttle and instant response

 — Kia Sportage

hi Marc. Phew........brilliant. At first, although there is much better pick up throttle seems to work across ALL of its travel, before first 1 - 2 inches was like taking up the slack, response is immediate. Where the noticeable difference is mid range in 3, 4, 5, 6th gears. Just basically SQUEEZE the throttle and instant response. Did this a couple of tines on A1 /A19 coming up to ''slower'' cars. They seemed to take ages to move but then I accelerated. The difference, looking at speedo was doing 15 - 20 mph more than before. Just was well i have gps speed camera warning on dash. From 40 mph upwards, no need to change down to get fast pick up. Think I'll have to play monopoly..... Is there a stage 3??? --. Brilliant......... My first enquiries go back to 29/09/10...... Why did i wait so long??????? Cheers Mike

What can I say simply amazing......

 — Mazda 6 MPS

Hi Marc, Just got back home in Essex via Northampton M1. Thanks for a great day and your generous hospitality, it really does make a huge difference compared to the many faceless ompanies out there.. The car feels "alive" its like 6th gear has become 5th gear, put your foot down in 6th and it accelerates like it did in 5th before the remap. No drama, no glitches, just smooth power. Just what I was looking for. I have not yet had a chance do give the remap a real twisting road test, yet, but I think its torque over horsepower that suits the MPS very well. I will give you my feedback over the next few weeks, if that is helpful for you. One strange thing I found is that the mpg is better with the remap than standard? (5mpg) Maybe a quirk, time will tell. Thanks Again Huge Grin Dale

On the way back had no trouble when in six to ease the throttle and the car just got up and went.

 — Mazda 3 MPS

Mazda 3 MPS Got back yesterday from Response. Everything was fine with the stage 2 re-map. Mark was really helpful and because i had to drive up from the south he paid for a room and shouted me breakfast and eas/coffees. As for the re-map, yes you notice a difference, the pull in second, third and fourth is great. On the way back had no trouble when in six to ease the throttle and the car just got up and went. I am pleased i had it done. If your in the south east area you are welcome to pop and see me at work and go for a spin. Lee

Wow what a ride it is now, thank you thank you thank you!

 — Ducati 748R

Marc Long time no speak!!! My apologies for that, as I have been meaning to write for quite some time now. It seems even more untimely as were now bedecked in snow! Anyway I must thank you for completely transforming my 748! Wow what a ride it is now, thank you thank you thank you! Even with me just running it in again, it turns quicker and wants to charge out of the corners much faster. Christmas descends on us quickly now, thus I simply have no time to bring the bike up to you. However I remember you saying that your van sometime heads down this way. Thus I was wondering if it was possible for you to come and collect it? I am in no rush, so please don’t break a leg, as it were to get here. Should you not be able to collect it before Jan then there’s no problem. The summer feels a long way away!!!! Many regards Simon Scania

it's completely transformed - it's got it's life back!

 — Jeep Cherokee

Really extremely pleased. TurboPACS have just replaced the turbo on my 2005 Jeep Cherokee - it's completely transformed - it's got it's life back! And while not exactly cheap at 1.1K it was approximately 50% what I was quoted by the main dealership for the work.

2 days later I now have a perfectly dialled in bike

 — BMW GS1200

Well what can I say. Marc Dellapina and patrizio have worked wonders on the mighty bmw r1200gsa When I bought it I added decat headers, akraprovick exhaust and a power commander 5. I always knew it needed set up properly due to a few flat spots here and there. A few power runs on the turbo pacs dyno proved that although it was already making great power, correct mapping would improve things. 2 days later I now have a perfectly dialled in bike. Patrizio has followed my request to carry out multi point mapping on each individual cylinder. It's more time taking, but the lads persevered and got it bang on. The results, I can't remember what the exact figures were but max power is now up by around 7bhp, torque is up by 15ft-lbs. doesn't sound a lot but I can assure you it feels it. More power throughout the Rev range and no flat spots. The pick up in top gear from 50mph to 70mph and beyond is just immense Well done lads. Thumbs up from me. 👍

the car has started first time every time since I picked it up

 — Jaguar X Type

Gotta throw a thumbs up for the lads in Durham, sorted me out with a new turbo for our car faster and cheaper than a dealer could. Turns out as well as a car rolling road they now have a newly installed Bike Dyno too and are experts in performance chips and upgrades, they were offering cheap dyno runs while it was being setup but that was last month, well worth a call:

 — Audi A6 Turbocharger Replacement at Turbopacs

Hello, You recently had a black Audi A6 Avant in your workshop that I just bought off my dad. I had been driving it a couple of weeks then was struck with the turbo issues as diagnosed by yourselves. I just wanted to contact you to say thank you for arranging the collection, diagnosing the fault and carrying out all the required repairs. I must say the car feels so much better to drive. It's quieter, more responsive and power delivery is a lot smoother. I'll definitely visit again if needs be and would certainly recommend to others. I also have a GSXR so that might also make a visit to Dragon Bikes sometime soon! Thanks again, Gareth

Mazda 6 MPS Guys, You remapped my Mazda 6 MPS about 12 months ago (YR57 VBE) The car is running like a dream and I have since added a turbosmart BOV. I've been looking at the next stage on your website and am interested in the front mounted intercooler kit which you have on sale for ?899 +vat Please can you advise the following points:- 1) Total cost inc vat for supply and fitting to the car 2) How long will you need the car for? 3) Estimated power gains (You advised the remap currently runs around 298 BHP) 4) A recent rolling road stated turbo boost of 18 PSI. What can this be safely increased to? I look forward to your response and will be looking to do the work Jan 2010. Best Regards Gavin

Mazda 6 MPS Marc, Many thanks for the Stage 2 conversion done last September. The car runs much smoother and its great to wind the BMW 335 Brigade on entry down a slip onto a motorway.! Delivery through the range is excellent and 3rd gear is a dream. The only down side is slightly worse fuel consumption, but that is to be expected given the increased performance. I am taking the beast to a local rolling road next Tuesday for a performance run. Will advise you once completed if you want a copy of the printout. Many thanks again Marc and Happy New Year to you and your family. Steve Mazda 6 MPS Marc

 — Fiat 500 Abarth in Hong Kong

Installed a large turbo kit for a client here in Hong Kong for his Fiat Abarth, but turbo started to smoke a bit during the running in period. The supplier from Italy wasn't interested to help with the diagnosis or repair so we searched for a reputable specialist and found these guys in Durham online. We exchanged some communication and was advised to ship it to the UK for them to inspect. Mark and Dan at TurboPacs were always helpful and professional and even helped with clearing it through customs when it was held up. As we needed a fast turn around to get the clients car back on the road asap, we basically gave them a blank cheque and instructed them to fix whatever was needed. We were pleasantly surprised to have the unit on its way back to us within a few short days. Diagnosis, out of balance internals and nothing more. We were charged for the inspection and rebalance only and not a penny more. Thank you guys, you will be our no.1 source for all our turbo needs!!!

 — Cosworth at Turbopacs

Simply amazing service from these guys who have never let me down, often going above and beyond what you would expect even of the best customer service. I have owned bikes and cars that have gone in running badly and come out running so smooth and with so much more power you would think it was another vehicle. From a basic fuel system clean to a gas flow, skim and re-map to engine re-builds, the work has always been top notch and the care shown is second to none. Cars and bikes mean a lot to ordinary people and even more to enthusiasts, Marc is exactly the kind of guy people would want to leave their beloved vehicle with, he will not let you down.
