I had similar experiences with TSL a few years back when i had a full decat fitted and a re-map. The car seemed fine at first but then the ecu warning light came on, so i contacted them and expressed concerns and was told that it needed a cel fix which was done. It lasted a week before the ecu light came on again and the car started running like a pig :D

Turned out the problem was with a faulty turbo, and during mapping they had picked up this but they still went ahead with the remap and sent me on my way. ok the performance was better etc but the turbo was affecting everything else on the car which eventually let to a blown engine !!!!!

If your not happy i would get a second opinion, Jolly Green Monster can plug in his software and look at what the engine is doing and could shed some light onto it, he wont be able to alter the mappng though as this is protected but it will give you an idea as to what its doing

hope this helps
