Cheers - no, no racing! Just fancied a bit more poke...

The 135s respond well to mapping, they're one of the most popular models we cover to be honest.
You'd be welcome to try out one of my maps, if you still feel like you want a bit more then I can switch it back & refund you so you can put it towards a VVC build

What would that involve - sending you my ECM...?

You can send me your ECM, I'll have it tuned the night I receive it then back in the post day after (first class to minimise down time) or for the extra cost of an ECU (whatever I can source it for) I can send one over with immobiliser disabled for you to swap out.
