You can go on to the website and see a list of recommended mappers who will fit and map for you,or get in touch with Andy Stevens,he will give you some advice.
Or you could do what I have done,bought the board direct from ESL and do your own remapping.

+1 for ESL. Have it installed in my car. I like the potential it offers while maintaining OEM capabilites.

With Esl you can have your current 8s ecu remapped. What mods have you done? Nice to see another Swansea member

I think ESL is a go for me then!
Nothing major yet scoobyricht, just had a full rebuild only fitted a walbro pump, atc streelite flywheel, magnecor leads and iridium plugs, group n mounts and steel cam pulleys. Looking to fit turbo, injectors and a map and probably leave it at that... for the time being

Do the group n mounts make much of a difference? Been considering that myself. What you have planned will make a quick car

Thanks for the help guys. They ain't too bad obviously can feel it more don't suppose any of you could advise on a good turbo/injector set up? Looking for 300 or just over

Easily achievable with a TD05 and 440 injectors, that's what I'm planning to do as well. Depending on what model you have you'll need to get a TD05 that been converted to front entry. I got one for £50, converted it myself (got a friend to weld it) and replaced the seals/bearings for another £20 or so. 440s can be had for around £40/50 again dependant on what model you have. You'll most likely need phase 1/1.5 for a direct fit or else phase 2 with adapters. There's actually a coupe of sets in the for sale section.

Cool your selling td05 then? Could you send me a pic? I was confused about the phase 1, 1.5 and 2s. What's difference between them? Are they obvious incase I get wrong ones?

Not selling mine mate sorry! Get on the for sale section and have a look. There's always some on eBay too. Just buy one and replace the seals anyway for all it costs. I have a thread about modding the TD05, search my username for it

As for the injectors; phase 1 & 1.5 are exactly the same, phase 2 is different and will not fit in to phase 1/1.5 fuel rails. They can be adapted to fit though. See this link:

td05/16g is a great turbo, 16g will easily see 300, as will as vf28 with awesome spool. just so happens i have a 28 for sale

yellow 440 injectors are a must really just to be safe. i swapped out the 28 for the td05/18g and its awesome, so awesome its causing my 6puck clutch to slip when really going for it (severn bridge tolls) so engine out soon for a new one. 300 in a classic is plenty in my eyes.
