Any of the 4 are capable if doin it for you but the decision of who's right for the job is up to you!
I've been mapped by joe myself with several cars and I'd trust and recommend him, I've also dealt with Simon (Jgm) and he's a decent man and I'd recommend him also, the others I've not used but have heard good reports if but the decision again is up to you!
Also as dec says aonghus has coutures old dyno but I'm not a fan of his even tho I know of some good work from him!
And joe has use of a dyno now dec afaik!

Dec you're right there but he also has the use of another dyno (or 2) but no longer uses coutures since they sold it!

Aonghus, mapped my type r, going great with no issues, even with a couple of track days and trip to the ring. Down a bit on power at dyno day, and aonghus decovered that front mount is leaking at back. He rang me and told me what he found, and is getting front mount repaired at the moment. A mapper cant do much more than that. I got that car mapped before by Pat Herborne, Andy Forrest and JGM before and had issues with car no fault to the mappers but they could not sort on the side of the road. Newer cars maybe suit better to map on the road, but older i find dyno is better, dyno print before and after. You car see your true gains. I think a mapper that owns his dyno car take his time, not trying to be off by certain time or in someone way. I could recommend Aonghus anyway.

Aongus was mapping in couture autos there till he bought dyno. He is based in Carnmore near Galway. Yea I got car dynoed in Tullamore with Adams Mc Donnells dyno, it's outside Tullamore now at his mothers house. It's a different make of dyno to Aonghus's, but yea it prints out sheet after no prob. But I think different dynos car vary bhp, but you will get fair accurate bhp increase all going well.

x2 , my car took way longer than normal. nearly the whole day as the actuater was acting up
my car made 250-260 on first run- up to 321 few hours later with torque even more
thats a hard rolling road to make big power, unlike some who pick figures from there arse
