On the flip side he could be advised to stay away from Scoobynet Clinic unless he's looking for a suspension setup which would enable him to complete in the Paris Dakar.

OP.....You could of posted in the DIY section looking for a Plumber or a Tiler and Tidgy would of still recommended​ Scooby Clinic.

Andrew Carr maps my car and it runs perfect spent half the day on my first map
I just went for single high boost map with launch control.
I still get 300 miles from the tank if I'm on motorways

If you're in Reading, FB Tuning is very close to you. Richard is a reputable mapper and also has his own workshop, so can do any necessary mechanical work should he encounter an issue when mapping.

Isn't a fmic overkill on a VF35? At 330-350bhp, wouldn't an STi top mount suffice!?

You've paid someone to map your car and left without even driving/testing it?

Wow that is very poor!!! Sorry to say mate but shocking tbh
Not even making 1bar until 5k
And probably one of the worst torque curves I've ever seen.

Torque "curve" is being generous!

Why has OP deleted all his posts?

Be fine as long as you keep it above 5k!

So many questions....even giving the mapper the benefit of doubt, surely to get results like that there must be some serious mechanical/setup issues (turbo being prime suspect), which you'd think you'd advise the OP of at the time?

Maybe the OP should go back and read the very first reply he received....

A very good road mapper told me years ago rolling roads are good for setting up boost controllers and that's about it lol.

Abuse

OP asked who to map his car. Was given several suggestions. And one to avoid. OP took car to the one to avoid. Posts bobbins dyno charts. When charts queried, disappears.

No one is accusing the OP of mapping the car, so no idea where you are claiming abuse. If I was the OP and unsure of what the charts showed, especially if I was yet to drive the car, I'd be trying to get as much advice and learn as much, from more knowledgable people on here.

If you can post something positive thought about the dyno chart posted, I'm all ears

OMG, it actually does!

That's got to be one of the strangest dyno graphs I've ever seen.

Only Dynamite could produce such magic!
