same as mine mate you need a uprated fuel pump and a ecotek remap at £550 most places charge ,
keep in mind when you go you might need differant spark plugs as well

Car will have a td04, standard spark plugs are fine NGK PFR6B.
Assuming exhaust is a decat then should see upto 280bhp, or 265~270bhp with downpipe cat still installed.
Makes sense to replace the fuel pump to make sure all is well and on a 99/00 the maf sensor is very fragile so worth buying a new one to ensure all is good.

Simtek is an aftermarket ecu. It doesnt use the maf sensor. Its map based. I use one. If mapped well you wouldnt know any different from the o/e ecu. Except you have the ability to have 2 maps to have mapped as you choose. Maybe high and low boost or two different fuels for instance. Also has the ability to do launch control and anti lag

Completely new ECU.
Ecutek is nothing more then reprogramming the stock ECU (and keeps the stock sensors like the pish MAF)
Simtek is a different ECU, which determines engine load without the MAF, but by using the absolute pressure and temperature of the intake air.
This emans you can chuck away the standard MAF.
If you need a remap, and are sure your MAF is bolloxed now would be a great time to consider a Simtek, they pop up from time to time secondhand (in which case it'll probably not be much dearer then Ecutek remap + new MAF)
