great service time and time again, Simon has exclusively mapped my cars for a fair few years now and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

well thank you all very much, do you think that it is better doing it this way than in the garage, you all think it will be worth doing then, the car is totally standard black 2004 sti

yep, even though it is standard you will get a nice increase and a better drive, and better fuel economy off boost as well. Off course a remap comes into its own though when you have modded the car

No, Simon's right - just Green Giant...

The jingle simply went:-

"HO HO HO" [with a booming echo effect]... # Greeeen Giant # [sung in a male American voice].

There' was no "Jolly" anywhere to be seen or heard ...... apart from on here, of course! LOL!

He mapped my car today and to say i am pleased with the service that he provided would be an understatement. He really is a top bloke who really knows his stuff. Once again cheers Simon im chuffed to bits with my car.

Is it a UK one with 265bhp or a JDM with 276? Do you intend to add any supporting mods first, before the remap, etc?

Well, if no extra mods I'd personally wouldn't bother.

If you fit a decat downpipe, then yes - do it! You can prob pick up a 2nd hand bellmouth job for £60 anyway, so it's a no brainer. A remapped decatted downpipe'd Impreza is ALWAYS worth doing... you should see over 300bhp!

Don't get me wrong - having a car remapped is not all about gained bhp/lb ft. i's about responsiveness and safetly too. A remap means that your car will be running the best/safely it can - mods or no mods.

Not sure what sort of bhp gain you'd get on mapped std car - possibly 20? Maybe more?

Ask JGM's advice - he'll sort you out...

why the not bother? yes more gains with mods but should be in the region of 300/300 once remapped.. so 45bhp should be a nice gain..

custom mapping to current setup be it standard or modded will still see nice gains

Sorry Simon - I had no idea that a std car would add that sort of bhp/torque!

There you go jp, I was talking shi'ite , JGM doesn't - I bet you're rethinking a remap now, eh?
