This may seem like a stupid question from a long-time forum user who has seen plenty of tuning threads, but seriously, finding a tuner you can trust is not easy!
My KPro needs remapping (partly due to fitting an RBC & J's throttle body, partly because the existing map has poor part-throttle mapping and is suspected of over-advanced timing at the top end). It was originally a TDI North map from December 2004, but due to the nasty surprise I had after one service (I won't go into it here, it's been covered before), I won't be going back there.
So, who would you recommend or, more importantly, who would you avoid? If you don't want to share your bad experiences publicly, please PM me, I'm very discrete! I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who regularly track their cars or put their engines to more extreme tests, because for years I thought my map was good but it turned out not to be.
I see Artech getting good press, then I read some less complimentary things about them on CTRO and to be honest that has put me off.
CPL look to do plenty of high-spec K20s, so I assume they're good, but I don't see their name very often here and that makes me suspicious.
TDI South sound like they are to be avoided.
Do Abbey Motorsport do K20s? Their website is down.
I'm not trying to create a thread to cast aspersions on any particular tuners, although it may look like that - the last thing I want is a slanging match/my dad's bigger than your dad competition. I just want someone to map my car with a safe, quality tune!
