I bought a Z4 recently for my MY94 WRX and just pluged and played, generally i get the impression you have to get a remap to get it running true and correct to you cars spec, i'm holding off until i get a new intercooler, but still ran 263 bhp on the roller with just the ecu, 440 injectors, a straight through pipe and a panel filter....

you cant remap the z4, all you can do is get a piggyback type chip

As jaytc2003 said you can't remap z4 but you can buy chips to fit into the extra chip bit on the board (enduring solutions do them).
Smilbertily is running bigger injectors compared to what the ecu was mapped for.

no1nutter try www.essexsubarubreakers.co.uk (not up and running but does have contact details) ,www.japperformanceparts.co.uk
