ericooper Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Hello, been recommended to join here off scoobynet, i have a 08 sti hatch in staffordshire, main reason for coming here is to pick brains regarding maps in the Midlands, open source or ecutek, scoobyclinic are a gd option but seems expensive, the name andy forest comes up again and again but a long drive, ive also been recommended thwaites developments in warwick and racedynamix which are open source, opensource seems cheaper but ecutek seems the way too go. Ive had a read of the posts on here in the tech section and had some advice regarding the above, il possibly post there again asking more but im aware we dint need a million mapping threads, a pointer the rite direction would be nice. Seems there a 5 or 6 viable options its just picking one.Anyway hello, look forward to meeting you all at some pointThanksCoops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Hi Welcome to Midland ScoobiesAh the mapping debate. You will never get a definitive answer IMHO I've always used Pat Herborn at Scoobyclinic and never had any problems, but I'm running a Simtek and the prices to map or tweak have always been spot on. I've always have mine mapped on the dyno, followed by a road test, so you have to factor dyno cost in.Other have used Area 52, some have used Duncan, others Zen etc etcLooks like you have to decide if you are going open source or ECUTEK first. If ECUTEK, then the initial map will cost, due to the licence chargeI'm sure the other guys will be along with their recommendationsSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichRB320 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Welcome mateAs you have an electronic throttle like myself it opens you up to the world of Ecutek RaceromYou can run 2 maps (e.g low/high boost) and have a race map with Launch control, flat foot shifting, auto blip on down shift and can be mapped per gear to suit you requirementshttp://www.ecutek.com/Products/ProECU-Tuning-Suites/Subaru-Tuning-Suites/Subaru-CAN-Petrol.aspxI have this and the flat foot shifting is the best feature IMO just because of the speed carried through gear changing due to keeping the boost/revs up between gearsLoads of descent mappers out there just get opinions and research Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmalleySTI Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hi and welcome coopsI had mine done by Simon @ Jolly Green Monster (also very mobile)who is also a very respected mapper and has got mine running at 353 BHP and 392 ft/lbs with a fully decatted H&S and a Pro R back box and a k&n panel filter and runs very nice and much improved over the standard map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
