Thought i would make a single thread for tuning solutions.
I'll break it into 3 sections, professional, "tune in a box" and piggback/interceptor.
Unless otherwise specified, all cars are supported.
(side vendors/sponsors have their relevant colours/get preference)

Tune in a box
This provides you with a device to connect to your car's ODB2 port and load the tune yourself.
Hypertech
Performance is our Passion - Hypertech
This is the more basic of the 2 tunes, each tune is differentiated by intake only, it was created with a stock intercooler and exhaust, so whilst these will not harm performance, the tune wont be able to take full advantage of them.
Features: Boost limiter removal in 1st/2nd, change idle rpm
The device is locked to the ECU of your car, to use it on a different car, you need to remove it from the original car.
Supports: Gen 1&2 3MPS, 6MPS

Interceptor/Piggyback
A piggyback ECU sits in between your ECU and the hardware it's controlling. They often alter the "load" (ie how much work your car is doing) your ECU is seeing, and thereby "trick" it into giving you higher ignition/air flow levels.
These can often store 2-3 "maps" on them, having a high and low boost setting, this can often be switched on-the-fly. Whilst the others require a re-flash to change settings.
A downside of them is that the data you log from your ECU's ODB2 port wont be a true reflection of what the car is actually doing. They are also unable to alter tables on the ECU, things such as knock sensitivity, idle speed, boost/ignition reduction for high boost temps to name a few.
