A lot of forum members use Performance Autoworks in Gloucestershire.

My go to would be Rus Taylor of HondR in Carterton Oxfordshire.

CPL Racing in Kent are also highly respected and specialise in Honda’s.

Performance auto works can no longer map as they don't have access to a dyno anymore :(
If it looks like jobby and smells like jobby it probably is jobby!

Any details of the kit? Is it used or new?

Regarding a tuner, your choice of engine management would probably dictate where you go, they will have varying levels of experience with different systems.

My experience has been that mechanics 'mechanic' and tuners 'tune', so you might be best placed to find someone who knows Hondas to fit it and someone who knows your ECU of choice to map it out.

I used StreetRacers in Leicester to map mine, though he only maps and you need to take a fully functional conversion to him, which can be risky if there is a problem.

As a stand-alone tuner, Romain Levesque of RaceCal is famous for his turbo powered CRX.
Knows his stuff, however not 100% certain of what systems/ ecu’s he can work on, definitely Hondata.
Worth checking him out.
