I personally stay clear of any remaps on flea bay, they tend to vanish once you car goes wrong.

Mate, i expect your car is one of the most valuable items you own?
If so, don't just pay for the cheapest as it's normally the quickest way to screw your car, and cost you more. If these guys were any good, they would have a website, a fixed company address and a landline number.
If your still not sure, then take a look at this thread below, and see why most people on here would advise you to avoid Ebay Maps....

Fair enough, you've looked into it and set your mind on the cheapest you can find. Hope it is a good map and your car suffers no damage or ill health, but if it does i want to be the first to say TOLD YOU SO! :p
Good luck :)

Value for money has to come down to your budget.
If you've got £500 to spend, then you could get a map from the bigger names like Custom-code, or Revo to name but two.
If your budget is a bit tighter, then some of the smaller companys like Bell Autos, or Performance Torque can offer you roughly the same, but for slightly less. Most tuners try and acheive the maximum from the car without putting more strain than they need to, so ultimately the peak figures are very similair, so this makes choosing tougher.
However, most tuners have different ideas about how a map delivers its power, so one might be very aggresive and deliver power in a surge, and another might be smoother and deliver the power evenly through the rev range.
Then you have to look at distance from your location. No point travelling to cornwall from scotland for a map if there is a couple of dealers closer.
The best place to start your research is in the dealers sections lower down.
Most have contact details and web pages available for more info, and i'll bet that each tuner has at least one thread relating to the same engine that you have, so you can read their thoughts.
Have a good look around and keep asking the Q's and eventually you'll find a company that offers what your looking for, and if your lucky there might be a group buy on meaning you'll get a discount.
:D
