This 120 bhp engine is already mapped to 150 bhp but not fully utilised, you don't need any remapping .. it's a case of raising the boost to just below the safety cut off point of 12.5 psi ... you will need some decent koni front suspension dampers to stop the car raising its front end under the new acceleration ... ( about 7 seconds to 60 mph )
