997s ecu upgrade/remapping
Discussion
chipped uk has a bit of a reputation. Search about the interweb and read some of his posts/discussions. He became really unprofessional with me ages ago on an M3 forum and made me think I'd personally rather not do business with him.
However, don't take my word for it, google around and have a chat with him. Jayson I believe he calls himself...

Spent a long time considering this. Unfortunately for non-turbo engines the benefits are marginal and with the potential warranty issues I thought it really wasn't worth it. Remember that the official Porsche X51 kit (over £8k) only adds 30bhp so some of the claims made by remapping companies are highly suspect.
There's a "no name and shame" policy on here but I would stay well away from Chipped UK (been discussed here before). If you decide to go ahead, most people here would recommend DMS.

I didn't realize people bothered to modify Ford Transits! Draw your own conclusions about your £70k+ motor car from that.
i got a response from chipped uk as follows
"Hi there,
Gains on this car are 22hp and 25Nm torque.
Price on this is £400.00 with before and after dyno runs.
This remap is done through the cars obd port with no signs of work undertaken
The process is as follows.
You bring car to us.
We do a diagnostic check on the car as well as oil etc.
We put car onto the dyno
We do a test run on the dyno to flag the power and info on the cars ability
We then read the software off the car
We then modify the software
Then we upload to the car and run more checks to see how the engine is performaing checking ignition angles, fueling etc.
Once this work is done to our satisfaction we do a final power run before giving you the car back.
Hope this helps.

i also requested a copy of a dyno report for a 997s to be told this
"i dont im afraid, we did have some from 4 weeks ago but we have a new controller for our dyno which has meant all cars run previous too July 12th cant be opened.
I have enclosed an image of our dyno cell so you can see our system."
same photos as transit link!
