What about powerstaion - they have a good recommendation. are you going to change your exhaust? you will reap benefits if you stick on a full decat.

remaps are around 550-700 quid mark.

If you could get a couple of you together to share the cost Andy F will always come to you from the frozen wastes of Scotland

Which model year as some years are easier than others? For instance, ecutek works for MY99 onwards, not before. Remaps better than chips too.

Pre 99 Apexi ECU and remap,
Post 99 Ecutek remap.

With supporting mods, both will see comfortable over your power asprations! Wouldn't touch "chips" with a bargepole!

A Re-map of his own ECU will cost around £240, although i don't know how much power can be released from standard ECU.
