Don't think there are any chips that are mapped for the VF turbo you have personally you would be better off with a remappable ecu especially as i think in another thread you want 300+bhp

www.jollygreenmonster.co.uk does all (or nearly all) the options.
for your car you can replace the ecu for an aftermarket unit or get a remappable daughterboard put onto your existing ecu BUT minimum price of about £500

A good option, is the esl live ecu. It's cheaper than the others, at £500+vat ish, and as your other thread, you'll need a later map sensor to get more than 1.1bar boost.
I'm surprised you have that turbo, fmic,de-cat, induction with a standard ecu, asking for trouble!

It would be wise to get the fueling checked on a rolling road, to be safe. Last thing you want is it to be getting detonation, a common scooby killer!
Or, get the ecu and save the worry, as it'll be set up perfectly!
