Dnno who I should talk to. Sorry, but I am new to all this modding and stuff. Remap is reprogramming the computer, right?

Remapping is reprogramming the ECU, the computer that controls most of your cars functions, to give the engine better performance by optimising settings that contol ignition, fuel and boost amongst other things. You will not believe how much better the engines run when this is done.
Do a search of the internet to check which of the bigger companies are available to you, Revo, APR, Superchips, MTM, Oettinger etc and see how you geton.

Lets say I would buy this off the net. I have found a shop that would mount this for me in Iceland. What gives the best performance? I like the APR and revo. What do you think of it. Also its not that expensive compared to MTM

if you struggle to get your car to a garage in Iceland to get it done, then superchips will post the bluefin to you, you can then do it yourself, I can tell you from doing it myself (with no previous knowledge) that it was very quick and easy! HTH!  :smiley:
