Is there a company / companies that comes recommended by this forum?

I have a 2009 A8 3.0 tdi and my local company is Celtic tuning, they did my other car, a VW CC 2.0 TDi with the DSG gearbox and they tool that from 177 to 237 bhp for £300 I had it done for three years and the car performed exceptionally well, never let me down and I chased the odd performance car or two as the under dog and came out smiling.  I have called them once again, as I know their work and product and suggested that they quote me on a D3 3.0 TDi diesel and they've quoted me just £250 with the figures being 292 bhp and 410 lbs of torque!  I have no reason to doubt these figures as they over achieved on my other car.
There are other people out there local to me and one guy even quoted me £185 for 284 bhp, but as an unknown I'd rather pay more and go with Celtic. There was also the option of installing those inbuilt looms with the 9 switching points, you know to adjust between performance and economy, but in my opinion these are cheap quick and simple options but never replace the option for a proper full rev range tuned set up.
I don't know whether there is a thread of rolling road results? I know me and the Evo lads used to do tuning days where we would back to back power out on a dyno and see who has got the best results. Perhaps that would be great for us to do if there isn't already a thread in existence.
Regards, Mark.

Model: MY 2008 08 3.0TDI Quattro Sport, Black on Black (Transporter Edition) Lowered 60mm on drop link bars. Alloys swapped out to RS6 style 20" x 9.5". It's got full tints on all windows, and has the black leather interior. Remapped by Elite Automotive in Cornwall, giving an increase output to 290bhp/450lbs.
Options: Keyless Entry & Start, Bluetooth Hands Free, Quad Zone Climate, 3 Spoke Sports Tiptronic Multi Function Steering Wheel, Black Leather Comfort Seats, AMI, Drivers & Passenger Electric Memory Seats, Auto Dimming Mirrors, Bi-Xenons.
Future Plans:
Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered.
Planned Mods:
Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.
