They don't call him Dynamite Duncan for nothing!
I used duncan for my old uk300. He mapped car to around 280bhp in 2011. Then he got alot of bad press on ssc subaru for some reason? I contacted him and he came to my house and checked my map and ensured me all was fine. In 2013 he tweaked map with upgraded turbo etc. Car made 336bhp. I sold car few months later but still speak new owner and since 2011 till now and 30+k miles the car is still running fine. I contacted duncan to map my current blobeye but i wanted carrberry rom so used andrew carr. Again i found him a good mapper and my car is running like a dream. I think its swings and roundabouts with mappers. Someone has a problem and people jump on bandwagon. These guys map and have 1000s of customers. Just do you homework and go with what you feel is right. Just avoid the tin shed hand car washes that offer all in £99 75% power increase remaps lol

Duncan has remapped my car on two occasions. I have a 15 year old Classic running 280 horses/290 ft/lb torque, it's sweet as a nut. He has a good reputation with me and with the team down at Surrey Rolling Road.

Bob Rawle gets my vote too....

First map done on my classic at Surrey Rolling road at the old premises...

Seems to be rushed there with a queue of people waiting... maybe its changed now ???

Used Bob for the second map ..he came to me ...no rush job...spent a whole morning on the car.. and it cost the same as my 30 mins on SRR dyno.

Still runs perfect 3 years later.

Pat at SC

where ever you go though, make sure your covered insurance wise, your own insurance will NOT cover you to drive it while its being mapped on the road.
