Builds looking good mate.

I can help with the research, spent months before I made my purchase.
For a straight out of the box 'chip', you can't beat Steinbauer - it's the most reliable as far as chips go, and wont have your lux go in limp mode when you need it most.

Though your best option is going a piggy back computer like the HKS F-Con iD or the UniChip Q+.
They wire directly into your ECU and needs to be tuned on a dyno specifically for your engine. They control everything from boost, injector timing, air fuel ratio, throttle response, etc rather than just a set assumed rail pressure from a chip. They're hell of a lot safer for your engine, and you'll get so much more out of it. Have a look into 'em.

Though - if you get a piggyback ECU, you'll need a new clutch, there'll be way too much torque for your clutch to handle and will start slipping all up to 5th gear.

Great advice. Thanks for that

Just did the rear bar, and instaled a red arc tow pro. Running out of mods now.
