   craigvts,
   
   You mind if I ask which one you bought (make/model) as I am weighing up whether or not I should get a ECU remap or dasktek?
   
   Thx.

   Most places charge around £400 for remapping the original ECU so for fitting and mapping your unichip, i would guess it would be more as theres the fitting costs too.

   You dont need a remap for just breathing mods, you only need one if you have cams/TB's or you are charing your engine

   I've ordered a Newman cam and looking into a vernier pulley as we speak, if all the info I have read is correct a remap is now required to take benefit of all the mods I have done (see sig). Spoke to Ric woods (nice guy), he mentioned he has no problem fitting a second hand dasktek unichip providing it worked & was the correct version (B) for £250 (fitting & live remap on RR), come on OP get yourself down to Ricwoods and get it mapped and report back on what result you get.
