   what ecu are you getting? Who's going to map it? What are your other mods (cams etc) that might potentially need setting up on the dyno?

   What car? VTS or VTR?
   
   If it's a VTS why are you running a 3.5bar fpr?
   
   Sounds like remapping the standard ECU is your cheapest option tbh.

   it's a vts and it runs better with the 3.5bar rather than the standard 3 bar one will also be looking at throttle bodys next year

   sack off the 3.5 bar fpr, certainly until it's mapped with it on. Waste of fuel. May "run better" but you're risking bore wash now.

   If your looking at throttle bodies next year you will be better off waiting until you have them fitted, and buying a standalone ecu, if your not going to go throttle bodies then your best off getting the standard ecu mapped on a dyno with the spec you are running

    Remapping an ecu will cost on average roughly £250ish, if you go for a standalone ecu, they can cost anything between £350-£600 ish depending on whether you buy new or 2nd hand, and which one you buy
    
    If you buy a predator, you can use the existing wiring loom as its plug and play, but most others you will need a new wiring loom plus it will need splicing into the existing one
