   I used this bloke:

   I just give him an offer of around £80 and he accepted, was quick too.
   
   I sent my ECU off to him, he unlocked it and tested it, then sent it back.

   allows more fuel to be injected, meaning higher revs, more performance and more money used of fuel lol

   Are you sure about that?!? Surely that's what remapping does, unlocking doesn't edit any of the fueling characteristics.
   
   I just got my ECU unlocked so that I could use it for my engine conversion, basically unlocking is simply removing the immobiliser from the ECU, allowing it to run on any car. (aslong as you remove your immobiliser box from under the dash)
