do you have an aftermarket ecu already???? If not I think you would struggle to get a power fc fitted and mapped for £500
For £500 I think you would be looking at something like a scoobyecu or a esl chip with enough change for a decat downpipe and uprated fuelpump (depending on other mods)

There is skoobyteknix in preston they have a mapper who posts on here called AndrewC

£500 isn't gonna be enough to get a good mapper, maps are norm around £550 +vat + Rolling road time so gonna be out of your budget.

my advice, save a bit more

my94 wrx, running 267bhp with just a z4 upgrade and backbox. Ive had a decat downpipe fitted since i got these figures so it should have a few more ponies with that, then if i remap i should make 300 i hope

not sure what you'll be limited by, turbo should be ok for 300 (td05 isn't it) might need to change fuel pump though

would have thought 300bhp is possible then, pat will map it on the safer side of limit as well so should last a while rather than stupid power then engine goes bang in 5 weeks
