Ring forge ask to buy a service kit really cheap comes with the new piston, most of the time if you tell them you want one because your 007 is leaking they send it for free :)

I would just get it mapped , you will need the yellow spring for your dv. With out a map the car goes like :sick: with a map  :evil:  R tech is good they can come to you and bring the yellow spring for your forge 007 . They let you test drive it after and you can say what wrong ie it ticks over strange when you pull up for a sec and they clean the throttle body out and fitted my forge 007 i got off them as well   :smiley: . Well using my carb cleaner and cloth.

What if they ask "how is it leaking?" Or "could you send us pics" :wink:
