Hi and welcome to scooby life! I used Bob Rawle to map mine and it runs very well! He's based in Swindon so it's a bit of a trek but well worth it. http://www.brdevelopments.com/aboutus.html

Some other places to consider:
Neil at Slowboy. Dartford. Has been around for ages and I've used him for servicing in the past. Never heard anything bad about his mapping https://www.slowboy-racing.co.uk/index
Richard Cope at FB. Out towards Oxford. I always here positive things about Rich but haven't used him myself. https://www.fbtuning.co.uk/
Martyn at Enginetuner. Plymouth so a long way to go! Excellent reputation though. https://www.enginetuner.co.uk/

I'm sure other people will give you some ideas too. I'd consider Perfect Touch for my next session (https://www.perfect-touch.co.uk/). They maintain my car and are superb. Their mapper also works a lot with Syvecs, which is what I'm running. :-)
The only bad experience I've had was with Duncan Graham, Race Dynamix.
Be sure to let us know how you get on!

I have used both Neil at Slowboy and Martyn at Engine Tuner and they were both great.

What I would just point out is that Neil maps on the road and Martyn has his own RR, I am not saying either are bad, I have had both with great results its just something that may be important to you.

Hi Lockheed. I’m not a mapper so I’ll stick to facts. The car was mapped twice, once at SRR and then again at my house. After the first map the car would not rev beyond 4500rpm, it stalled whenever I stopped at a junction, the toucan functions did not work properly and was generally very lumpy. When I got home I parked it up. A week later Duncan came to my house to map it after failing to resolve the issues via a remote connection. After the second map the car idled at around 1500rpm, not ideal, this did however cure the stalling issue for the most part. The toucan still didn’t work and was still running lumpy though and occasionally would stutter under throttle. When I took the car to Bob he was able to correct all the issues and add power. It also runs much smoother and the toucan works properly as well. Duncan Mapped my previous WRX running 290bhp 10 years ago and it was fine. This one was a disaster though.

I had Duncan map my Hawkeye few yrs back and to be fair had no problems, was just a pain to get hold off most of the time, I used Clive Atthowe in Norwich second time around and again had no problems, Clive Atthowe does mainly VW/Audi and Ford's these days but started of doing Subaru's back in the day believe, will be taking my Cupra R up to him when i get the chance.
