Welcome to the site buddy 
To be honest you're probably better off travelling to get your Scoob remapped, Bob Rawle is based in Swindon, and Simon Roe, aka Jolly Green Monster is mobile and can come to you or you can go to Surrey Rolling Road! Both are very highly respected and will transform your car
A bit further afield but again totally worth it, Engine Tuner in Plymouth have a fantastic workshop and have done a lot of work to my Scoob give Alan or Martyn a ring on 01752 345880

Welcome to the forum.
From personal experience I would recommend Bob Rawle, he is based in Swindon but does also offer a mobile service. I had my third mapping session (on three different Impreza's) with Bob on Friday where he worked his magic on my car.
I ran a very successful group buy with Bob where 25+ cars were remapped and everyone came away with a big smile.
Post up your current specifications plus what you want to avhieve and I'm sure that we can advise you on what you can expect and what is required.

A few things to consider as well to make it easier to get the donkeys you need.
1. Get rid of the down pipe cat and resonator on a Bugeye.
2. A better fuel pump to handle the required fuel increase. Walbro is recommended or get a JDM STi pump as people get rid of them.
3 A freer flow exhaust pipe.
4. Uprated panel filter. K and N or Green Cotton always get good write ups.
I did this to my old Bugeye Wagon and got 265bhp and about the same torque after the map. All in all it cost less than £800.
Remember that after this you'll need to uprate the braking system, better brake pads, discs and 5.1 fluid will normally do the trick.
How is your suspension?

I will endorse EngineTuner. Had my "long in the tooth" Bugeye remapped (ECUTEK) by Martyn. Achieved 260 BHP with only "Green" panel filter, Last cat removed and Magnex back box. All eBay bits costing less than £100 all together. However, the bug has bitten and I've now had the engine rebuilt to a 2.1 Stroker with SC36 turbo etc etc etc £££££££££££££

Pop along to a meet and have a chat, we've all been there and spent a fortune.
We'll be able to steer you in the right direction and spend your money.
Plenty of 2 hand bargins if you know where to look.
If you want to go faster, suspension and brakes is the first place to look at
