what did they do exactly during the mapping?
why did you get it mapped if it had problems?

i asked them to map the mods i have to the engine, but not sure what they did as i wasnt there, but got it mapped as i thought it would sort out the engine and problems, but still no luck

where was it done and what method of mapping did they use? no engine/ecu should be mapped if it has problems.

Who did the mapping?
Have you spoken to them and told them it's running funny?

well they should have noticed if there was a problem during the test runs before mapping started, although some problems can be intermittant and may not have shown up.
what are the problems exactly?

the engine sounds like its struggling all the time like its running on 3 cylinders, kind of sounds like a scooby on tick over and when i put my foot down it seems like it wants to go but its juddering, something try to stop it from going, hard to describe, i have bein told maybe to do with the timing but im not sure how to check this, maybe plugs or leads??
