Goodbye Superchips?

I suppose a local Indy might be able to charge less if they have a quiet spell. There’s a local tuner near me with a good reputation that does mapping + rolling road for c.£350.

Uploading the same base tune to every car and just adjusting the boost and fuelling maps is not 'custom', it's simply 'tuning' something that already exists. 'Custom' is a one off, from scratch. Absolutely no tuner does that, ever, unless it's some whacky build with a massive turbo and massive injectors that completely throws VW's base tune out of whack.

I’d pretty much agree with you, more that £200 if it got anywhere near a set of rollers sounds incredibly cheap!

Yeah, dynos are a huge investment for a tuner and is largely why remaps are so expensive. The actual tune will be the same plagiarised one that's been doing the rounds for years, just tweaked on the day to suit a particular engine's characteristics.
