You can go for a Superchip mate as these are most common etc.

I had one on my S2 but also had to buy a -31 act and an uprated
fuel pump as my pne died on the rolling road

All in all its how much you have to spend really as now i would not
bother with it and go straight for a complete engine management
system like gotech from jamsport.

I think i paid nearly Ł750 all in when i got mine chipped and they are
banging out Gotech for Ł1000+vat makes sense if you know what i
mean.

Phhheeeeewww sorry for the long reply mate

No worries mate thats why we all use this place

Yeah it will need fitting and mapping mate but the mapping maybe included in the price not 100% though.

Would be best to try and speak to jamie as he will be able to advise
you better.

Gotech includes mapping, and is a good conversion, and good value for money. But before u do it, get any mods u plan, like intercooler (a must) bigger turbo, cam etc, and ur easily looking at 200+bhp

Depends on how far and what you got mate , had mine done by Paul Hill at engine advantages and never had a problem with his work and paid about 300 quid thats ecu and set up with live test.
