If you pay "cheap", be prepared to possibly pay twice.

Best and Cheap don't go well together.
To actually answer your question, assuming you still have the standard ECU I would recommend Paul Blamire @ Zen in Wellingborough. Otherwise give Duncan a shout for aftermarket ECU mapping for your MY.
Both of these guys will give you excellent service and reliable results.
As above beware of 'Cheap' as it will usually cost you dear in the end.

Default Chevron in Stafford

If you want honest advice without the feeling you're being talked down to, I would recommend a visit to Simon at Chevron Motorsport in Stafford, or at least phone him for advice - www.chevronmotorsport.com, 01785 223336.

I've experienced nothing but first class customer service, and I'm lucky enough to live just 20 minutes away from him.

But, like the guys have already said above, no point doing any mods unless you're prepared to pay for quality or pay again and again to fix the cheap jobs.

Hang on a second,you 've got a decent high performance motor car, with i'am presuming 208 bhp & capable of 143 mph and your looking to boost that power via a remap and you want it as CHEAP as possible .

You have 2 options
Option 1:
goto your local motorsport shop,and buy a manual boost controller for £30+ ,bolt it on ,turn up the boost and away you go ,car will go faster,but eventually will go bang..

Option 2: Hit the search button on the top of the page and type in remap,read the various threads and see who comes highly reccommended.check out there website and if your happy book your car in.

If you buy cheap it can also be much more expensive in the long run,as a rebuilt engine can cost you more than you paid for the car imho.
No matter which person maps your car you will have to pay the ecu tec licence fee,(£200 - £300),then the time it takes the mapper to work his magic., and once the car is mapped you will have more power,in a car that already drinks fuel like an alcoholic at a 'free' bar.

I have used Bob rawle and found him to be nothing short of 'Brilliant',when he mapped my 1999 uk turbo & my current 2000uk turbo

If you dont fancy a drive to Swindon then Mark at thwaites developments in warwick is worth a shout ,really knows his stuff, and a top geezer as well with superb premises and good prices

After owning 5 Impreza's and experiencing quite a few mappers during this time the only one I will be using in the future is Paul Blamire fron Zen Performance.
