Anyone on here had an ecutek remap?
is it just performance subaru in coleraine who do ecutek? and is it the case that he flies someone over from england to do it which puts the price way up and can only be done every few months in 2 day batches???

from wat I hear that is true about performance subaru mate, but i have also been told it is all generic maps. i.e if u had a 2004 sti with a 3"inch full system then he would install the mappin from 1 that he had done b4 therefore the map is not specific 2 ur car.
I have the ECUtek re-map done 2 my 04 STI done by AIautosport
If u are near the newtownabbey area I will let u have a run in her 2 c wat u think. It goes like a treat, b4 the map I was getting 210miles 2 the tank, now i'm gettin 230miles & she has very little lag.

This is the reason I love forums soooo much !! 
Barry, Why don't you ring and ask 
We use what is highly regarded as one of the best mappers in the Subaru world, he has mapped a large percentage of the fastest Impreza's in the UK and Overseas, never mind over here.
He has done nearly all our mapping since we started tuning Impreza's nearly 10 years ago now.
Why? because he knows how to get the results we and our customers want and it's what he does for a living, mapping cars nothing else (90% of which are all Subaru)
Subarus have their own little issues that don't follow logic when it comes to mapping, but that only comes from experience and nothing else
Puts the price way up ? compared to what ?
We never claim anything we can't achieve here for the sake of getting a sale and we don't cut corners just to match someone else price
As for every few mths in 2 day batches that's news to me
it's done as and when we need it done, which is on average 2-3 weeks or 5-6 weeks, or every weekend if required
We usually do mapping at the weekends because we can spend as much time as required on each car to get it where we want it to be, and it's easier to accomate this at the weekends rather than during a normal hetic week.
Cheers.

You couldn't be further from the truth ?? Infact your so far from the truth I would like you to explain in your wisdom how you know so much about our maps and back up your statement ?
Here We DO NOT do generic maps, EVERY map is custom, and individually tailored to the car being done.

hello mate how much is it roughly for an ecutek on a MY99, ive a few mods planned prob some sort of bigger turbo either a VF series or a TD05? fuel pump and whatever else is needed, the car has a full decta at present and a boost controller, id want to retain my standard injectors and IC if i could, dont want to go down the front mount route. I'm aimig for around 310-320bhp if thats possible
Cheers for putting the hear-say to bed and i beleive pat herbon is the daddy when mapping scoobs lol

Not tryin 2 promote another compant at-all m8, would like to think any1 could use their own judgement on where 2 get the work they want done by who they want it. I guess it is just the old hearsay thing, I have heard quite a few ppl say this so I jumped the gun and pressumed this 2 b true. You know better than any1 how it is done as it is ur company.
Just goes 2 show I shouldnt believe everything I hear.
Sorry m8

when i talked about hearsay i was referring to my post only, wasnt a dig at you pete :-)
I phoned AI autosport but he said they only do newage cars, i thought 99-00 cars could get an ecutek too but phil said they cant do it? AI would be handier for me as i live in belfast.

AI done my newage and as far as im aware they dont have the software for the older scoobs.
Performance Subaru was the other company i was going to use but unfortunatly it was just a bit far for me to travel..
OMA is also another option but I dont think they use ecutek.

I know u were not havin a dig at me burt,
Anyway I think that all this hearsasy business has been cleared up, I know that any model from v5 onwards can b mapped AI just mustnt have the software.
At the end of the day it is up 2 u who u trust 2 do the work on ur car and from wat I hear on here quite a few ppl have used OMA and it would b far closer than others.

was gonna say the same at least ring jonathan before listening to clearly the wrong people. I rang him and was told the cars are mapped indiviually. Performance subaru are the best ive came across so far in my ownership of a scooby. If things are priced too high for your pocket its maybe down to getting what you pay for, hench why in driving past two dealerships in belfast to get my car serviced in coleraine. if you had actually met this guy you would know what a gent he truely is and is well regarded in the scooby world.

i dont doubt jonathan at all and have heard very good reports, im just wondering what the price difference is between an ecutek remap and going for a full ecu which set me back in the region of 1500 quid, but i know thats normal money for the any good aftermarket ecu, its just above my means as i have to save up bit by bit even to do little things to my car so i would prob never get that amount saved for just an ecu....wish i hadnt been bitten by the power bug lol.

I have to agree that Performance Subaru results speak for themselves. Have a look at Sammy Kerrs results in time attack on the mainland!
Its way too easy to say "from wat i hear" online. Please remember before you make rash statements that a mans livelihood could be affected by them!
Impreza's are unique in their mapping requirements and only experienced mappers ever get it consistantly right. rant over..

i think this is just a case of confusion.a good mapper will have a record of all the maps he's done.he will select one from a previous similar spec'ed car that matches the job in hand,use it as a base and fine tune it accordingly.
it makes sence to start off with a good base map,does in no way mean your getting a generic map.
my last car was mapped by bob rawle who loaded a base map from his laptop to my scoob.i watched as he scrolled down what seemed like an endless list of subaru maps till he selected one that suited my car best.loaded it,then we headed off for two,mayby more hours of live mapping.
the final result,a totaly specific map for my car.
