I nearly was 
Ive been computer programming for 25 years (including proper control systems not mickey mouse stuff with a dozen inputs and a handful of outputs like an evo), and only tuning engines for 15
Daft thing is, it probably only needs the closed loop point raising slightly so its still in closed loop at slightly higher rpm so its still there on cruise, so probably doesnt actually need any mapping as such anyway, lol

IMO i would always use someone with vast amounts of knowledge who does it every day with results that speak for themselves over some one who has limited knowledge in mapping(no offence intented chip),as its always going to move from a quick tweek to can i go faster lol
Do people think that adjusting a map on a car is a simple as this post makes its seam????? honest question ??????? i dont care if i had the means to do mine (i could easily afford it) i really want it to be the best it could possibly be, i would pay someone who is a reputable mapper as i do,and the results always speak for themselves.
Each to there own IMO,Looks like people try to save money and have a bash themselves,but if you have spent a few pounds on the hardware why not have it the best it can be.
p.s im not slating the post just answering the question above.

It might take us a little longer than a pro (a few weeks rather than a day) but we have a good understanding of what we are doing and are perfectly capable of produce nicely drivable and reliable maps.
Where a pro comes in is if you don't want to put many of your own hours in. The pros will have amassed plenty of car and product specific knowledge that means they can turn your car around fast and effeciently every time. You also get a reciept and the legal obligations that comes with that.

TBH what I will do is disconnect the lambda sensor and make sure its fuelling right without it if the ECU can accept that without side effects while mapping?
Need to find out a little more about its ins and outs before we actually do it.
Good thing is, simon and his brother have aquired quite a bit of relative consumption data between their two cars (simon's uses a consistant amount more fuel if they both do exactly the same journey EVERY time), so it should be immediately obvious on their first long journey if our changes have helped or hindered his economy

Is Simon normally in front? on journeys to shows etc my brother used to drive behind/slip stream me all the time because he didn't know where he was going most of the time and I always used more petrol than him.
Just a stupid thought

Chipper -
Only reason I ask is that I have seen James at Nortech map plenty of cars and melt them good and proper. Then he never pays for them
SBD - Are you telling me you can't melt an engine by mapping it wrongly? You fcukin muppet

My Evo V has been ecutek'd by Matt at The Racing Line, since having this done 2 years ago its been silky smooth and lovely to drive, noticably better on fuel than it was as standard... however its still not brilliant, on a run im only getting 185miles to a full tank of V-Power.

dont you dare take me out of context, were not talking about mapping on boost, chip is going to map off bost and get more mpg
do you realise how hard that is to melt an engine at 5 % throttle

Given that you are unable to actually read the thread properly yet, it might be best if you dont try and reply to it yet until you can.

I had my standard VII ECU remapped by a friend who has done most of the CT9A's here in Vic. I just bought a boost controller for peace of mind as we upped it slightly.
Send me a message on facebook and will give you his details if it helps, he has produced some very impressive and safe power figures.
The FQ400 rep I just sold was running a Power FC which is a different ball game so had to have that tuned by someone else.
I have the ECUTEK software and you need the cable and Evo Scan from memory to do it. Very interesting stuff and one of the things I love about the CT9A's.
Cheers
