If your still MFI the chip you choose will have little or no bearing on how your car makes power, 99% of them just remove the boost cut and only a couple actually have a different timing map (Ahmed for example).
Standard cam profile is the best all rounder, unless you are wanting big bhp say 250+.
With your spec on a healthy engine you will see between 175bhp-190bhp @ Fly, more than that requires a better turbo.

yes,it will be mfi,unsure of turbo spec as theres a turbo technics badge on the turbo,may just be a standard rebuilt 1.tbh i havent even driven the car,it may be chipped already,ill open the ecu later and have a look,didnt even think before now.my old rst made 194 atw with an uprated turbo and the same spec as what i have now,but that was a bayjoo chip.when i took it to the rr before the fuel ecu was holding it back,he advised me top get the ecu which matched the chip fitted which i did,it felt more powerful and less hesitant after i fitted it?i always thought both ecus got modified.
