Price is excessive in my opinion, especially when compared to Powerstations offering.

From what I've seen on some of their graphs, their maps are a bit lumpy. ie high peak figures, but not that great across the whole range. I had my remap done at Powerstation and everyone comments on how smooth the map is

I agree with this. Had a few things done and thought they must have thought I was one of their Porsche customers. SInce then haven't been back but they do include a good free hire car in the cost (so that does ofset the price).

This is what I say.

1) Powerstation for handling and mapping
2) Scoobyclinic for other things including body work, custom builds, etc
3) TSL were good as well but the above two stand out in cost vs service

Had to get mine remapped. Although WRC appeared to be more torquey there was an obvious issue with boost creep which Scoobyclinic helped sort a bit but Powerstation replaced a small part and remapped and all was fine and has been ever since.

WRC charge £7,750 for their 400BHP package!

I nearly choked when I saw that.

Anyone who pays that needs their head read.

Or stick an exhaust on it and get one of the respected mappers to map it.

That should see you at around 330bhp and a good drivable car for a lot less money
