Default Recommended ECU Remapping Specialist

If you are replying to a thread question or responding to a quote why hide behind phrases like "a highly respected mapper" or "one of the best mappers in the business".

FFS they are humans not unicorns!

My mate Bob from The Red Lion doesn't have the same ring to it

It's easy to hide a cheap and nasty remap behind 'a reputable mapper' tag


Every mapper has lovers and haters, but if you are willing to use a certain mapper and give him your cash, you should be willing to name him

I guess there's an element of shame involved if you use a mapper who everyone else completely rubbishes!

No shame for me, first the much missed JGM and now the excellent Bob Rawle.

First for me was always Simon (JGM) and now Andrew Carr, if you are based in Scotland then Russ Paton at HQ did a great job on my first map. Used a couple of people in between I would not recommend to anyone

When my 2.5 forged build is finished I will be needing a mapper. At the moment I have a short list of three, Bob Rawle , Martin Jeffrey and TDR at Warwick.All three have a good rep so it could be down to availability/price.

Maybe take a list out of all the people offering Subaru mapping at the moment, all the gumtree ads included in that. Then see if Duncan comes out in the majority of more experienced, therefore becoming 'most'. I put my car on it he will.

Spreadsheet please to support.

Of all the mappers that people have in their mind when reading a thread like this on Scoobynet Duncan is very much at the bottom of the list and not as experienced.

I saw one a while ago of the maf scaling which was so cheap and nasty you would be amazed who mapped it.

Again not knocking Duncan but on a thread like this on Scoobynet you can't included the Gumtree massive as no one has heard of them. However good you think Duncan is he doesn't have the longevity of the others on here and that's a fact.
I think you've missed the points in my comment.

But i'll await the spreadsheet.

I had a map done on my previous car on 2 occasions by two of the above experienced mappers. While these maps were satisfactory, they weren't as good as the map I eventually had done by Paul Blamire.

Paul does still map a select few cars I believe, but echo the above, massive shame he stopped mapping for the masses. Easily the most knowledgeable bloke I've ever met with regard to these cars.

It wouldn't be fair to even put Duncan in the same category as people like Paul to be fair different leagues completely.

Paul is a very good mapper but he has zero people skills and comes across as an arrogant ****

I`ve recently had a map by one those "experienced" mappers, and the car now hiccups like mad when you put your foot down. I emailed him immediately, and had no reply. I have used Duncan as well, and had no such problems. Bob Rawle next for me, when I can afford.

So we have:
Dynamite Duncan
Wild ???? Hiccup

Any more for the spreadsheet?
