i had mine set up at torque of the devil in uxbridge.
Took around 1 hour and set me back £95
Included was 3 rolling road runs to get the best output. Also any tweaking to get it running to its best.
They compression test all engines before doing the test to make sure they dont blow up the engine on the run. :)

Never had my RS1800 set up because i've never been bothered lol.
But when the new engine goes in Karl @ NMS will get the job of checking its set up ok.
