Yes, E53.
Thanks mate. I'm Solihull based so will try Jason if I can't find someone decent around here.

You won't get better but he has loads of other dealers that will install his maps (he writes them). So contact him, no doubt he'll tell you of one local to you!
It's tailored to you're car (every map is different).

Cheers. As you can tell, I really know very little about all this.
How long does it take to do? Could always take it to him.

You can take it to him but why? Let the local guy do the work, save your fuel!
Map takes at least half a day.
Or get Jason to send you one of his tools that reads your ECU file, send that to him, he writes a new file, sends that back to you and you load it to to the tool and then to the car.
Here's the thread for more details.

Can recommend someone in Brum if you want (don't want to step on anyone's toes though).

Can anyone recommend someone to carry out a re-map in the Brighton / South Coast area?
To those who have already had the re-map done, what sort of power / mpg increase should I expect?

On your 4.4?
I wouldn't think it would be worth it, suits turbo cars much better
