Personally I would be looking at an Apexi Power FC ECU replacement for around £650+ fitted and mapped from various suppliers.

Hi

I remapped my MY98 with Power Engineering, and you can find the info here:

PowerFC is another route (I seriously considered it). It can give more flexibility for subsequent mods but I'm not sure the PowerFC has all the safety features of the standard ECU like active Knock correction and so on. Andy F is an expert on the PowerFC ECU, he advertises in the Scoobyshop and takes part in tech threads. If you search on PowerFC you'll see his name come up pretty quickly.

Cant recommend the Apexi PFC enough mate. The results were simply stunning. Given that Andy would supply and map the car for a similar price to that of the Power Engineering map I think there can only be one choice.

My friends UK98 was mapped by PE but he wasn't very impressed when comparing it to the Apexi map on my uk97. The travelling didn't help either. That said he did say it was a good professional set up down there.
