What exactly are you planning to do power/engine wise?

If you are looking at basic tuning up to say 330bhp then tbh i would say stick with something simple like Bluefin custom mapped to mods by Superchips or Dreamscience custom mapped by a decent dealer.

Next step on from the plug in setups will be a piggyback chip like UniChip again custom mapped to the mods on the car.

After that the next step is total aftermarket ecu and removal of the standard ecu setup - for this you are looking at systems like Autronic SM4, Omex, etc - this option is not cheap and tbh is only worth doing if you are running a total custom engine build.

If you're registered on the RSOC i'd suggest having a look through the posts on there as there are numerous cars there at different stage of tune running on the various chips available from plug in, piggyback and one or 2 like mine running complete standalone - that should give you an idea of what direction will suit you best
