Default ECU Remap for my Legacy (N Wales/Shrop)

My Legacy tbSTi (twinscroll) (auto with Si drive) is due into country in late March. It will need a remap for UK spec fuel (Tesco/Shell 99). I also want to increase the power and torque a bit (290-300bhp crank) so I have an HKS downpipe coming with the car and I intend to fit a Cosworth panel filter. The car has a VF45 turbo so plenty of tuning scope, but the high compression engine limits the power/boost. I'm conscious (due to the 5EAT auto box) that the TCU might need to be "tuned" too, so any thoughts/advice on this would be useful.

I'm in N.E. Wales and have heard great things about Graham Martin at Group B Motorsport but I don't know if he still works there, any ideas? Are they now in Llandudno or still in Queensferry?

Are there any other options local to me? For maintenance Fflat Four in Wrexham looks good, but it seems they don't do any tuning that I'm aware of.

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Do they have a rolling road/dyno for tuning then?

I'm new to the game, who is Steve Simpson?

I used Group B for a good while based on their previous reputation, but I would suggest thats probably out of date now.
Dont wish to talk badly about anyone, but I wasn't happy with the service from them so stopped going there.

I now exclusively take my car to Rich at Fflat Four - really really happy with the work and advice etc. Wouldn't take the car anywhere else now.
Basically everything i've had done recently has been done at Fflat four, exhaust system inc remap, handling/suspension etc etc and the car has always been brilliant.
