Question Recommendations for Mappers Please

As the title, I am looking for someone to remap by Subaru and would like recommendations please.

I have a newage 04 WRX with exhaust mods but the car has never been mapped so I need it remapped to suit. I live in Medway, Kent but would be prepared to travel

I have a limited budget so I might not be able to go down the route of EcuTek and pay the additional for the licence. I don't mind what software is used as long as it wont kill my car.

I know there is a highly recommended monster mapper on here but his charges reflect his years of knowledge an experience, which my budget probably won't stretch to, so looking for other options.

Cheers

Stuart

Your choice of a suitable mapper should be the deciding factor not your budget... Save for the right choice

I think I am right in saying Scott and therefore Simon could map that age/model without using ECUTEK licence and therefore should be able to do it at a competative price, but I'm not sure if Scott is still mapping commercially these days.

Both Scott (Polar performance) Simon (Jolly green monster) come highly regarded, and local So you would do well using either. Simon does it for a living so arguably has mapped more cars ergo an argument to say possibly more experience. Scott does it more as a side line and a hobby, but been in the game for years as well. So pays ya money takes ya choice as they say.

There are plenty of others as well, but most of them are northern based.

I think Scott may still be doing the odd map again soon and you'll save the cost of the licence,might be worth contacting him.He mapped my car and I'am more than happy.

Thanks folks for the welcome and appreciate your comments so far.

It seems people are recommending just 2 mappers - Simon or Scott.

Not ruling out Simon or Scott but looking at options, I have come across other mappers that people may know of including Duncan (dynamix) (http://www.racedynamix.com/new/). Anyone ever had any dealing with him or know or experience of any others?

Duncan (Dynamix) is a top bloke, very nice to deal with and knows his way round the ECU using OpenSource (licence free) software. Not saying he's any better or worse then anyone else mentioned on this thread though

But certainly better then some of the more unknown ECUTEK mappers and some of the OpenSource mappers (term used loosley) that seem to think they can sell a OpenSource Map by post on Ebay (i.e for a start on a near stock 2001-2005 WRX you need to do more then just flash a map to achieve much more then 1bar boost).
