I wonder what you do for a living???
It was the first job that come into my head that you might not need specialist skills to do!! obviously a forklift driver works in a factory and needs a license etc etc but maybe a McDonalds worker then
(am i going to get flamed for this one) Dont think many Subaru owners on here work at Maccy D's!!!

I have, and I still think he's a dick.
Just because he uses stuff doesn't mean he's any good at what he tries to do.

And yet in your post directly before this you talk about your friends experience??? What is that if not hearsay?
All your comments are doing are successfully fuelling propaganda with no personal experience of your own or guaranteed facts to base any comments on. As I have said before, you don't have the full facts or info from both sides as these were not your issues, so should not be making assumptions and trying to destroy someone's reputation just for the fun of it!
I have no doubt there have been issues at some point, much as all engine builders or mappers will have had. It's how they deal with the issues and support the customers that count in the long run.

I was referring to a very close friend who's car I had drove prior to mapping and post mapping and what a difference (not for the good either)
as for fuelling propaganda, I don't even need to post.....this whole thread speaks volumes for itself imo
don't see many threads kicking about slating andy f or bob rawle or JGM do you???

I've had more mapping sessions, on both road and dyno, then I've had cups of coffee.
Using six different mappers, I've never had one major issue. Anything that has ever cropped up, minor mapping related, has always been resolved swiftly.
Unfortunately problems can happen, although fault may not always be related to the map.
As with anything, the mapper needs to be chosen with care.

I still stand by my comments that you have no place making comments on something realistically you know very little or nothing about!

So just because you "drove" your mates car this gives you the right to slag someone off for poor workmanship? So you were there when it was mapped asking the mapper questions and fully understanding the issues were you?

I think I once read that Alan Jeffrey asks for a full tank of fuel when mapping although I could be wrong.
maybe it was scoobyclinic, any who it was someone.

was that if a mapper is to do a good job and spending a fair amount of time he will need a full tank of fuel to do so.

No your correct I was not present during mapping and yes your correct again I do not have extensive knowledge about mapping a car but neither does the subject in question by the sounds of things
fact is the car made less power after being mapped, now that aint good

Not once have I stood up and defended Duncan. I have only given my personal positive account from my personal experience. Something you are unable to do as you have no first hand experience of the person and business you are slagging off! Fact!
Now stop trolling on a thread you have no business being on! Run along little boy!

I gave Duncan my 2005 wrx with 44k on it and FSH. It had no issues and was a completely standard car when I bought it. I had fitted a straight through exhaust, Sti top mount and an induction kit. Duncan raised no issues with the car when he trial ran it on the rollers and gave it back to me with 280bhp print out from Surrey rolling road. Within 100 miles the photos attached were the damage where it was found to have ran lean. Nothing else to say
