thanks,

He contributes on www.bmwcarclubireland.com and www.bmw-driver.net. He doesn't have the Chipped franchise from ChippedUK very long, AFAIK (ChippedIrl used to be Martin Duffy in Dublin, who did mine in March, but I think it's now a guy called Joe).

Wasn't Martin Duffy called Autoremap?

You're absolutely right, KB. My bad.

He just had the Chipped franchise.

Sorry for the confusion.

really, any idea why. The price he quoted me for a remap ain't bad...

Because I banned him

We ran a remapping day with the company who supplies his remaps. Some people were happy, some were pissed off. Anyone who didn't get gains from the remap were told there was a problem with their car. One car lost 8bhp after the remap, he was told the same thing. He decided to wade in and tell us we had no right to criticise his supplier, because he's an expert in his field. He also kept registering with other usernames to try and badmouth another remapper who uses the site, and then accused me of having business links with the other remapper (a guy I've met 5 times in total) and having a vested interest. Not worth the hassle of having to watch everything he says, so he was banned.

The other guy on the site is Martin in www.autoremap.com - no personal experience, but one of the mechanics from the site recommended him.

You could also look at

Martin Treacy @ Westward Engineering.
or the lads in Track Day Performance.

Both have rolling roads / dynos. You might spend slightly more, but I'd be more confortable with the results.
