open source is about £300 for a full map, they will let you know first

If your not mapping for the extra power which is there to be had, its always worth it just for the safety.

I'am pretty sure 99/00 cars cant use open source mapping only newage iirc,it will have to be ecutek or aftermarket alcatek,or simtek. If your car has been mapped already then it will be a simple tweak to the map to allow for the increased exhaust flow .If it has not been repmapped,then as stated earlier on ,it is worth having it mapped ,just for piece of mind imho.

Newage only for OS
