there could be a group buy on the cat cams, which should give you a rough idea

Hi Dan. I think Chipwizards is the only place that re-map stock ECUs on the VTS/106, and they are up Leeds way... Here's what you should do I reckon. Contact a place called totalmotorsportsolutions.co.uk. you can buy the cams and manifold off of them, and then they will take your car to Chipwizards, where it will get re-mapped. I think for Catcam 708s, Supersprint manifold, plus installation labour and re-map, (Chipwizards charge them from the total bill) it will set you back around £1300 after VAT. ...So you just give the car to TMS and they do everything for you...
