Default tmic or superchip?????

i am thinking about putting a bigger tmic on my95 uk,i am then going to get a superchip.
the mods already are full de-cat and induction kit.
the thing is, is it worth my while changing the intercooler,will i notice much improvement over just getting the chip alone,

Hmmm, yes, the bigger intercooler should make your car work better, while fitting a Superchip could well f**k it up.

If you want to fit an aftermarket ECU upgrade, look into getting a ScoobyECU.

a remap is better than chip.

The ecu is custom mapped to your engine, obtaining the best power/torque curve (to your specification) that can safely be met.

A chip just increases fueling and overides the safety margins controlling the boost to give more power... not good.
