Not sure how far it would be for you but I am running a group buy for bob Rawle based in Swindon. Check out distance on a route planner and have a lookin the group buy section.

I would fit a decat downpipe and centre section a walbro fuel pump and a sti pannel filter then away you go

Don't know anywhere near here that I'd trust in my opinion. Lot's of choice in England though and a few in Scotland if you fancy a really long trip . I'd try API Impreza they're definately worth the drive. But there's lot's of others..Scooby Clinic..Joly Green something??. It's worth doing a search on here...bound to be a few threads with people thanking & recommending re-mapper's etc. Goodluck with it all, Gareth

Depends on wether you want a base map or a custom mapping sesion on the road or mapped on the rollers, im from south wales and i always use Andy Forrest for live mapping, powerstation would be my choice for a sesion on the rollers, 260-280bhp should be an acheivable goal, i'd uprate the filter,exaust and fuel pump then get it mapped

ok i don't quite know what base mapping entails,but custom maps may be.i would like the boost to kick in at about 2750rpm,so i can have the fuel economy like i got now,or even a switchable map one for cruising and the other for fun.where is andy based? do you know the contact number? would really like to have a chat.

Powerstation mapped my old bugeye WRX, with a scoobysport backbox and GREEN panel filter (I also changed the fuel pump for a walbro 255) it made 264 bhp IIRC.

I then had it fully decatted and remapped by them a few months later and it made 282/282 on their rollers.

Bob's not far away though, it's probably about the same distance to him as Powerstation is from Cardiff. He mapped my current car (Spec C) and he is very good.
