Car is Porsche Boxster S 3.2 987.

I don't mind travelling a bit to use somewhere decent.

The last one I used was a mobile tuner who did my old BMW 530i, but I'd prefer to get this car done somewhere with a rolling road rather than just a generic tune.

(also might get them to replace the 'zorst with something better (sound and BHP))

I've used a few places for general servicing and been more than happy with them for that, but those places don't seem to do remaps. (or if they do, they certainly don't advertise it!) (JZ Machtech & ProMax)

My mate has mentioned Revo, any opinions on them? They're not local, but not that far away.

Just one suggestion - Wayne at Chipwizards, but make any other changes (exhaust etc) first, otherwise it'll have to go back again as the map is tailored to the car.

Bob Watson nr. Bicester, OXON

He did my 964RS earlier this year, very pleased with the results. "Goose" is right, the remap is the last thing you should do, if you are going to change other items get them done beforehand.

Try Matt at Fearnsport, they don't normally deal with many Boxsters but worth enquiring about.

Perhaps another Boxa.net regulaw will confirm, but doesn't MikeP (on boxa) do remaps, and also drives a Boxster S? Always struck me as a very decent bloke - think he was North Essex way.

part ex it for the 3.4 is my advice chipping a 3.2 it a bit pointless.
exhaust, ecu etc etc is the price to swap into a 3.4.

Part ex value for mine is around £13k.

Dealer price for a 3.4 S is minimum £18k, that's for one a few months younger than mine.

For £5k I can do a hell of a lot to my car, I could fit a turbo for that amount of money!

Interesting, like most of the others their "Upgrades" (or Tuning) section of their website says sod all, so either they couldn't care less about their website, or they've got more business tuning cars than they can handle.

They're just up the road from me so I might pop along tomorrow and have a chat.
