Default 30 BHP increase for £450 approx

Has anyone heard of JR tuning in Kent, they do remaps for 08 STI's onwards and reckon they can get 30 BHP increase quite safely for approx £450

Can anyone recommend them??

In your area you have few mappers like Neil@Slowboy Racing which mapped mine and he's good too and prices have good too(i think he charge £300-£350 for remap)

Or you can use Simon@JGM which use EcuTek and price is from £550.

I never heard about your mentioned company

I would not let that Jr Tuning touch my car if i was you mate, they do not specialise in Subaru remapping and could ultimately cause engine failure. There are plenty of scooby specialists that cover the south of England who are well respected within the Subaru community and will do a excellent of mapping your car safely.

If you can bear the brunt of a bit of a journey to Carnforth, Lancaster for a dyno mapping session then I can remap your car for £475. The 08-on cars are quite specialist to do as the fly-by-wire throttle maps are quite complex if you don't understand them, along with the ignition learning.

Hope this helps,

Graham

There's a video of JR Tuning on You tube getting all excited about mapping a JDM Ver8 Sti to 300bhp??!

Found it:

A 2005 STi made 340+ with minor exhaust mods, recently mapped by JGM.
A million years ago mine made 340 bhp from a sports cat'd exhaust and an Ecutek map, that's a bit more money true, but a 75 bhp increase.
