If you go to Brian Downie, be prepared to wait. I called and the waiting list was about a month.
Give Indy Car Sales a try. Their cars are expensive to buy, but I find their servicing costs very reasonable and I've had 4 of them in less than 3 years.
I hate to say it, but I would be wary of wallace aswell, through personal experience and reports from more than just one or two others.

dont go wallace!!! or indy!!!
wallace are, in my opinion, incompetant, who ruined the ecu on my mates vr6 and took off his power boost valve saying it was doing no good to his car then tried to put it away in his cupboard till he was told in no uncertain terms "i don't bloody think so matey" his vr6 now has to goto star for a proper job doing
as for indy there was a thread regarding this guy a couple years back...
brian downie top bloke and knows his scoobs
you could also try ricky gauld ( huntly) or jim king (inverurie, think thats his name)

I'm sure there are a few 'good' places to go. I've not been to see Russell yet but from chatting with him and hearing about him from other tuners i'll be making a point of visiting him the next time i'm home.
I'd also like to say that Jim King is spot on and a down to earth guy with no B.S. My old mans been taking cars to him for a while now and everything he does is on the ball. He's also got himslef a scooby now and there seems to be a growing number of scoobs parked at the garage every time my dad's over there. (still not got his rollers up and running yet though!).

The guy at Indy must like me then as I've never had any problems 
I got the usual arrogance when I was looking to buy the car, but he's been great since then. I get a handshake and rundown of the latest projects he's got on the go when my car is in.
I would echo Carl as I've not heard a bad word about Glenburgie. Its just too far for me to travel.

Jesus, talk about scaremongering 
Take a look around at some of these places, and the customers cars they have in their premises.
Do you think they would be there if they are getting such bad service?!?!
That story about the VR6 is complete fabrication. Tell me how is it possible to ruin an ecu by driving a car?
If you knew anything about power boost valves you would know that they are just fuel pressure regulators. Do you think a relatively standard car benefits from an increase in fuel pressure? Go read about it if you are as clueless as your statements would suggest........

I would recommend Wallace Performance
I have not use Wallace Performance for about a year due to buying A Brand New Laguna Sports Tourer at the start of 2005 for the wife and selling my Dark Blue 53 plate Clio 172 and my Silver L Reg. Scooby turbo 2000 wagon and having some proper fun on two wheels but due to now having two kiddies to look after I’m back to four wheels and Scooby’s again.
I can only say the work they did on both my 172 and Scooby before selling them was Excellent.
Some of the Work Done by Wallace Performance
172 - Tinted Window excellent work and great price.
Scooby – Full custom Exhaust, Dump Valve plus more bits and bobs I’m not going to list everything but again excellent work and great prices.
I will defiantly be using Wallace Performance again to work on the Scooby I have just bought and can only say keep up the good work guy's

id say go to jim king! ive known him for a few years and he knows scoobys inside and out - as well as owning one himself for the last 6 years i reckon(although he now owns a bug eyed one 
).
a little expensive on labour costs but if jim works on it himself its more than worth it - scottys very good too.
also ive not heard anything bad about bhp developments fella either! seems to have a nice mooded scooby that hasnt blown up.......some companies around here have a name for doing that and rumours only stick if there true(thats all ill say)
also jims rollers are only 2wd.........hes putting them outside his actual garage but hes so busy hes not had the time to convert the old sheds yet!!! and thats nearly 3 years now!!!

Just been round to see Russ at WP tonight who very obligingly stuck a wideband on my STi to double-check the ECU was coping with the AFR's ok after an injector swap. Very happy with the service, craic and advice offered... even got a cup of tea courtesy of Scott. 
I had a bad experience with Brian Downie but loads of people recommend him so perhaps i just caught him on an off day.

Rott (AKA Stevo) - things are great M8. Currently stuck in Singapore whilst the ship gets upgraded.
You know what its like........................loads of beer and ladies of "questionable" sexuality. Seems you'll love anything in a skirt when your drunk
Russell
ps - nothing wrong with repeating yourself 4 times, it's pretty much the norm, when you work in India
