The new mapper will need to know your exact spec of the engine and modifications to the ancilliary systems like uprated fuel pumps etc, compression ratio ideally and if the car is actually fit for the road! (not joking!! Some of the scrap that gets presented for mapping at a well known company is unbelievable).

There is only so much you can adjust on a standard ECU, that could easily be your problem.

If you have a dyno shop nearby I would get on the rollers for one/ two runs, so that when you take it in to be mapped the tuner has something to go off of. The dyno graph will/should be able to show any ignition, fuel or boost problems (lean, rich, whatever) and where in the rev range the problem acure. Good luck.
