Default remap and tune questions

I have just purchased an 03 sti and would like to give it a tune at the begining of my ownership.

looking to remove cat with a decat down pipe and then tune it.

Simon seems to be highly recomended and he will travel.

couple of questions please

I though a remap is best done under load. (do they tune it with probes in exhaust with a blast down road or is it an off the shelf map based on their experience)

estimation of costs?

are there any tuners in Northeast that people would recomend?

I live Richmond North Yorkshire if this helps

cheers

Yes a wideband AFR sensor in the exhaust, det cans and laptop monitoring all give the information needed to do the remapping. It can either be done on the road or on a rolling road (pros and cons for each tbh) and all proper maps will be custom but drawn a lot from previous experience as well (more importantly) as your individual spec and the way your car responds. Generally it takes 2-3 hours to get the best results (sometimes longer).

I spend on average a weekend a month up in the north east mapping for the guys on Tyne Tees Subarus. http://www.tyneteesscoobies.co.uk (aswell as other places in the uk)
