Hi guys,

Where's the best place in the midlands to get a remap for my 2000 turbo impreza x plate. Needs to cheap as pos as I'm on a tight budget!

Thanks

 

do you want the best or cheap ?

 

think ecutek only on classic turbo 2000 so no cheap alternative available

 

If you pay "cheap", be prepared to possibly pay twice.

 

Only ecutek available on this year (or simtek or syvecs)

 

Best and Cheap don't go well together.
To actually answer your question, assuming you still have the standard ECU I would recommend Paul Blamire @ Zen in Wellingborough. Otherwise give Duncan a shout for aftermarket ECU mapping for your MY.
Both of these guys will give you excellent service and reliable results.
As above beware of 'Cheap' as it will usually cost you dear in the end.

 

cheap and remap dont go in the same sentence

my advice get everything together first otherswise you will be paying again and again for tweeks and its not cheap as i have found out


speak to simon aka jollygreen monster he is a very very good mobile mapper

 

speak to mark at THWAITES DEVELOPMENTS in warwick the guys a legend and always good on price + makes a decent brew

 

If you want cheap then fair enough.... if you want a job doing right and doing once then go to Tracktive Solutions in Leicestershire.

 

what he said and them cup's of tea well worth it lol ...

 

Another vote for Mark @ Thwaites Developments here. Mapped mine a few of times now as the car has developed, very happy with the results everytime.

 

+1 Thwaites Development, never used then but get good feedback.

Another one for Tracktive Solutions

 

the midlands has a plethora of decent tuners/mappers. where are you in the mids?

 

I'm in Stourbridge buddy

 

Or get Duncan from RaceDynamix to come to you

If you want honest advice without the feeling you're being talked down to, I would recommend a visit to Simon at Chevron Motorsport in Stafford, or at least phone him for advice - www.chevronmotorsport.com, 01785 223336.

I've experienced nothing but first class customer service, and I'm lucky enough to live just 20 minutes away from him.

But, like the guys have already said above, no point doing any mods unless you're prepared to pay for quality or pay again and again to fix the cheap jobs.

 

Hang on a second,you 've got a decent high performance motor car, with i'am presuming 208 bhp & capable of 143 mph and your looking to boost that power via a remap and you want it as CHEAP as possible .

You have 2 options
Option 1:
goto your local motorsport shop,and buy a manual boost controller for £30+ ,bolt it on ,turn up the boost and away you go ,car will go faster,but eventually will go bang..

Option 2: Hit the search button on the top of the page and type in remap,read the various threads and see who comes highly reccommended.check out there website and if your happy book your car in.

If you buy cheap it can also be much more expensive in the long run,as a rebuilt engine can cost you more than you paid for the car imho.
No matter which person maps your car you will have to pay the ecu tec licence fee,(£200 - £300),then the time it takes the mapper to work his magic., and once the car is mapped you will have more power,in a car that already drinks fuel like an alcoholic at a 'free' bar.

I have used Bob rawle and found him to be nothing short of 'Brilliant',when he mapped my 1999 uk turbo & my current 2000uk turbo

After owning 5 Impreza's and experiencing quite a few mappers during this time the only one I will be using in the future is Paul Blamire fron Zen Performance.

 

Api is well worth a visit and not too far away, use Pat Herborn to do there mapping, top top bloke
