BEFORE YOUR VISIT
Your dyno questions.
Answered.
The essentials on power testing, tuning and arranging your visit to Badger5.
Where is the dyno located?
At Badger5, Building 104 East, Aston Down Business Park, near Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL6 8GA. See our contact page for directions and booking details.
How much does a dyno session cost?
The provisional guide price for three power runs with a printed power and torque graph is £120 plus VAT (£144 including VAT). Badger5 will confirm the final price and vehicle suitability before booking. ECU tuning, extra diagnostics and standalone mapping are quoted individually.
How long does a session take?
As a guide, allow 45–60 minutes for a three-run power test, including setup. This is an estimate; your appointment length is confirmed when booking. Standalone mapping takes longer and depends on the installation and work required.
Can you test my four-wheel-drive car?
The facility uses a linked 4WD Vtech dyno. Compatibility must be confirmed for your exact car, drivetrain and specification before booking.
Do you only work on VW and Audi cars?
Badger5 has a strong VAG specialism, but also considers other makes and aftermarket ECU projects. Send your vehicle details for a suitability check.
Which standalone ECUs do you support?
The published coverage includes ECUMaster, Link, Emerald, Ignitron, DTA Fast, SCS Delta, Omex, Vipec and Haltech. Exact model and installation suitability are confirmed before booking.
Can I book a test without a remap?
Yes, you can enquire about a power test without requesting tuning. The team will confirm the appropriate session, availability and pricing.
What should I tell you before arriving?
Share modifications, ECU details, fuel used, warning lights, leaks and any running issues. Also mention low ride height or unusual drivetrain arrangements.
Is an enquiry a confirmed booking?
No. Please agree the session, price and appointment directly with Badger5 before travelling.
What is included in a power test?
Three power runs and a printed power and torque graph. Tuning changes and additional diagnostics are separate work. Ask about any additional measurements you need before booking.
