I've used Bob Rawle in the past and can only say good things about his skill and knowledge, they're second to none.

But I'm using Rich @ FB Tuning for my next map as he's fitting my minor modifications and then mapping the car for me which is far more convenient even though it's a 3.5 hour drive to his premises for me as opposed to 2 hours to Bob.

I could use Duncan who maps literally 15 minutes from my house at a local RR but I've heard so many bad things about him that I'd rather not take the risk, better to be safe than sorry in my eyes.

Yes or he can map on a RR and then check the map on the road.

Another vote for Bob Rawle

Mapped my bug sti which had issues before I went and during the road mapping session which Bob sorted out but unfortunately (not Bob,s doing) I fitted a 3 port BCS which became faulty a month odd down the line which I've replaced and now needs a tweak which sounds ok but it's a 6hr round trip plus time road mapping.

Can't recommend him highly enough and IMO is one of the top mappers out there plus has his own hawkeye running 600bhp

Bob the boost builder is a true professional.
We block book him for mapping here in N.Ireland every 6 weeks.
First class job every car.
Highly recommended

Swindon, mate. Mapped mine as well, I'd always use him, as did the late, great Harvey Smith.

I found it very difficult to get hold of bob, after he had come round my house to map it he made an excuse and left, after many phone calls, texts emails, said mapping my car was not for him, that's ok but took him about a year to finally tell me, strange but true

lol, yes I was, there was obviously something he didn't like about the car, fair play to him for not mapping just for money's sake

Well obviously I wouldn't go with racedynamite again, infact I don't think I would go with anyone that doesn't have there own premises, I like the sound of thwaites developments racing (tdr) heard decent things bout them, but this fb tuning Sounds like a good place too
