You might need a little tweak.

Cheers for the info guys
As it has a Prodrive ecu that can't be tweaked, I'm seeing this getting expensive lol

Prodrive ecu can be remapped. Mapped loads of them.
The prodrive ecu is only a standard ecu with a map loaded on from prodrive using ecutek software. Same as a remap only thats a generic one like the original rather than a custom map for your car.

I was told that I would need to pay for a licence and then the cost of a map! Local garage tried to read my ecu and said they couldn't as it was locked but Andy Forrest could map it! I'm new to scoobies so not up to speed on all this yet lol
