Yeah, but didn't he just move up the road to Finedon.

I.e. hardly any difference in distance between their old Baird Ct address and the new Finedon one.

Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

it was in the Finedon area but I understood they are currently moving workshops.
I think Richard (Ren77 on here) does some mapping since Paul left, contact email:
ren@zenperformance.co.uk.

I have been trying to get Richard from zen to do a map for me, but with a unit change and him being super busy, Im just not sure when it is going to happen. It has been about 4 months waiting so far and am still not sure how much longer until he will have time to map for me :-(

you could try Duncan aka Racedynamix, the problem is he does less roadmap now and seems to concentrate his time on rolling road sessions at RCM and Surrey RR. I thought he had a venue Norwich way but that may be down to demand there.
Bob Rawle is another option but I guess the problems of time and distance will be the same.

Irrespective of where you go and who you use it will occupy a full day. So traveling a bit fort her for someone who is as good as Martyn is worth it in my opinion.
Funnily enough I compared travel from both yours and my destination to Plymouth, travel time is exactly the same to the minute! Bizarre! However it's a further 100 miles round trip for me. Plus I'm towing a trailer, so 650mile round trip and about 7hours each way towing. In my opinion worth every bit of it.

I cannot stress how important it is, that if you want someone good you must be prepared to travel!

There is Richard Bulmer @ Tractive in Melton Mowbray, same building as Carnetics and he has a Hub dyno, which just means they take the wheels off and attach to your hubs.

He mapped my first WRX when they were all at TSL and made it fly.

I used to use Simon Roe (jgm) but after he sadly passed away i started using Duncan graham as he'd taken on a lot of Simons old customers, Duncan sorted my warm/hot start problem out and my dropping revs problem, he then gave me advice on my next step on tuning the car and I end up going with a 3 inch cobra system including decat and running octane booster which gained me an extra 30 bhp. All mapping was carried out at AP tuning near Norwich and my car has never felt so good, Duncan's a top bloke and knows his stuff so can't recommend him enough, it'll be worth the trip from Cambridge to near Norwich.

But don't take just my word for it:

They don't call him Dynamite Duncan for nothing!
I've found the complete opposite to this.
That's using him over many years for the numerous changes in my car.
