But they should be ok for a health check?.I have a little niggle with the car which needs sorting before I progress any further like mapping

Have you had a remap from them and is it best to have a remap on a dyno or on the road

I spoke to Peter at Prosport and told me i would be looking at £100-£150 for a health check and diagnostic does that sound good and a remap was £300-£350 but had to get some one in to do that and to have a health check it would proberly be nxt week because there fully booked

I have use them in the past for remaps (done by ex works rally Toyota mapper Richard Bulmer ).

now I use Bob Rawle of BR development as he mapped the Motec M800 on my car .

but Prosport are very good with what they do an if some thing goes wrong just take the car back and they will sorted for you .

most use rolling road and live road mapping to get the best result .
