I paid £525 for mine but the guy is from Preston.
I also had a remap done at Powerstation which cost £550 + vat. Can't fault Powerstation and they are probably quite close to you.

i had mine done in powerstation in tewksbury, the work i had done was as expected. the boss had just come back from hols and i had the impression he was too busy for me, even though he was serving me, benefit of the doubt.

also I had a PSI3 datamonitor and asked for map switching, but on the work sheet were the words "datamonitor unit not working" although the sheet was shuffled out of view after i had seen it. i asked about it and was told that it simply meant my ECU was not capable of support a map switching function on the unit ('07 WRX). I am a fussy fker on times and customer service is very important to me. i drove from s wales to tewksbury just to use powerstation, and may go there in march when i am due a service, then again i may go somewhere else.

What car do you have? only certain years (99 onwards) have a remappable ecu, prior to that there are a few options, some being replacement ecu's (which can be quite expensive) others being programable chips.

yes, we work with JGM for the mapping side, and have full workshop facilities if you need anything fitting etc prior to mapping. Based in the centre of Loughborough, just off J23 of the M1

People have different opinions about scoobyclinic some good some bad some very good & some very bad but the majority is good so i guess you have to make your own mind up really they get alot of customers through there doors and sometimes have about 100 cars on site needing work etc so they are going to have some unhappy customers every one will at some point, however scoobyclinic do use one of the best mappers in the country Pat Herborne and he is there THU/FRI & SAT and you could have him map your car, Cant fault him top bloke and there is nothing he dont know about mapping scoobs

Give Tracktive Solutions a call (web search for their number). They are based at Melton Mowbray in Leics. Richard Bulmer does their mapping, who is highly regarded. I think its approx £650 (all in) for the first map .
