I have the Conforti chip in my ti. Not difficult to install, combined with the other bolt-ons, it suits the car quite nicely.

Only downside is a need for 93 octane gas. With this chip installed, running on California 91, I start to get check engine lights when the intake temps go up. Running mostly 96 or a few gallons of 100 takes care of the problem. As long as that's okay for your daily driver, I'd say go for it.

Otherwise a custom chip might like GIAC or suchlike be better.
