    I'm looking for a dyno - preferably in the North but will travel.

    Should have a decent internet connection to allow for remote control to my laptop for the tuner.

    Any info greatly aprecciated!

    4wd or 2wd?

    Are you looking someone to map your car, or book rolling road time so you can map it?

    There was a crowd down that way with dyno dynamics rollers but I don't know if they are still going. Then there's ecc in lisburn

    Just to Add mate, no matter how well you plan when comes to mapping it rarely works without getting hands dirty so do pick somewhere that can help at this end, if you think you will plunk car on rollers and map it completely in one hit you will be very very very lucky it never goes to plan

    Ring them all, and see who is most comfortable with this method of tune, also, hub dyno may be better ask what the guy on the other end of the internet wants, and get him to talk to anyone you have got a good feeling about.

    Used elite myself when flew a guy from England over to map my car, friendly bunch kept the workshop free and plenty of spare hands, everyacar that day was meant to just go on rollers and be mapped, every car had its bonnet open at some point from things like changing fuel pressures, spark plugs, coils, boost leaks, actuator base pressure adjustment, and in one case to confirm a melted piston mid mapping.

    Just noticed that you are running a vipec. Jonny at Ai supplies and maps these, he fitted and mapped mine in the evo - great piece of kit

    I have a guy from the states live mapping it over the 'net for me - he knows his ****.

    Yeah its a custom ViPEC v88 made to work with the Mini R53 BCM (body control module) so all the stock electronics work like indicators, gauges and such as without the stock ECU they stop working.

    Indeed mate, was not one of the better ones anyway lol.

    I know in theory this is all a good plan, the method of mapping. But i just hope it works for you.
