Default Anyone used RS Tuning?

As per title really!

Just wondered if anyone has used them for remapping, and what they thought?
My scoob doesnt seem to be running right since i changed exhaust and fmic, so dont really want to be driving long distances to get it remapped, and rs tuning is only about 20 miles from me, i know there popular with evo owners and have a pretty good reputation, just a bit wary that they might not know scoobys well.....

I'd stick with a dedicated Subaru specialist like Richard Henry at Bradford.

Specky has mechanical experience with subaru flat 4 but they dont specialise in mapping them, not to say they cant map it. Though my advice would be to use a recognised subaru mapper and hire their dyno for a couple of hours

Run it to a proper specialist even if it means a bit of a drive..

Specky used to run a "scooby killer" sticker on the back of his car and slaight them to the ground...... Then uses a ej20 go figure

I used the dyno at RS Tuning some years ago when I had a modded MR2 Turbo although mapping was done by Ryan @ 2bar tuning. Didnt have any troubles / issues.

My mate uses them regularly with his Mr2 as well as others that he works on again with no issues that I am aware HOWEVER as stated if it was me I would be visiting a scooby specialist and as mentioned Richard Henry in Bfd seems spot on. Also Andrew Carr visits there regularly to map cars so may be worth pursuing that option.

I attended a RR day at RST. Ended up costing me several hundred pounds worth of second opinions because my car was running "fatally lean" on their dyno, and it made 40bhp less than it did anywhere else.

That said, they've got a stonking reputation in the Renault communities - so they're clearly talented engineers/tuners.
