Bought a bug - need it mapped
I already have a 330bhp MY00 classic and today we bought my missus an MY01 Bug eye with minimal mods.
It has a full decat system, K&N panel filter, forge dump valve (pants) and standard topmount. Everything else including fuel pump is standard. According to the boost gauge its only making about 8 psi, which seems low to me??
Emma wants to get an induction kit for it as you cant hear it spool then go for a map to improve power/drivability.
Thing is..........where in the midlands can we take it and can it be mapped open source or is it ECUTek only?
She's not looking for breakneck power. 260+ would be nice but its a DD and has to do the school run etc.
I know theres info on Andy Forrests site regarding mods but really we're looking for someone around Leicester/Notts/Midlands who can check the car over and give it a tweek.
Any advice/recommendations is welcome.
Cheers, Stu n Emma

Thanks Jura, Dunc was just recommended to me by someone else so i'll send a PM to him.
Anything else we should consider before a map? Is a walbro pump hard to fit and would this be beneficial?

As above fuel pump is easy to fit and for safety reasons i would replace,3-port i would replace too just for as i said too for safety reasons and for better holding boost...
Not sure,how much boost has been on UK bugs,but on JDM has been 0.8-1bar(On mine has been 15psi/1.0bar)
If you have all ready decatted exhaust,i would fit STi Up pipe or Harvey Up pipe...
