Default Remap, who, where?!!

I have a 2001 bug eye wrx, to which I've added a freee flowing exhaust and blitz filter.
Due to removing the cats I now have the engine warning light on (lamda confused etc)
Decided to get a remap, Ecutek seem the best, where do I go and who the cheapest / best, I know these dont go hand in hand!!!

Any help would be most appreciated.......

I'm in the midlands, just south of birmingham.
I have heard Bob Rawle's name mentioned a few times on different threads, is he part of a company or just a private tuner?

Round our way - i.e. Norfolk/Suffolk, Scooby expertise is thin on the ground. In fact, non-existent. Clive Atthowe's in Norwich now have a nice new Dyno Dynamics rolling road, and they certainly do have Scoobs in (amongst loads of other makes) plus they do do mapping but I don't know much more than that. Dave at Henstead Motorsport near Beccles know his stuff if it's mechanical work you're after.

Pavlo!! Zen Performance. Thats a personal recommendation.

Take in to account where you are and where you are willing to travel.

All the above mentioned will give you great results

Just pick one. Plain and simple.

I would use Bob Rawle, as I did yesterday. For the money consider getting SimTek instead of EcuTek

simtek isn't as cheap as people first think, bolts on are required for certain features and when they go on there's cheaper ecu's out there

Dead right ! A modern ECu system that does not require a MAF and can be fitted and mapped with Launch and Anti-lag for £950.00 + VAT on Classic Impreza up to 1998.

There is no viable competitor, that I am aware of.

THAT is why all the serious mappers are using it.
