welcome. i would advise the same as Spam, Cobb or Versatune. there are good few on here that could help you out with tunes etc and getting started. with both Cobb and Versatune you can monitor the car very closely and if you get an extra mod, take some logs, send these off and a new tune can be mailed back, saves going back for a tweak.
oh and the forum currency is reacharounds

Welcome to the forum.
Tuners to go to are either BBR, Total MPS, RS Tuning or HQ. Don't go to Litchfield, the only car i've that heard went there didn't have a good experience. personally i'd go for a cutom map from a tuner as you need at least a basic knowledge of tuning to go down the Cobb or Versatuner route, if you do there are plenty of e-tuners about but it sounds like a ballache to me, doing logs, emailing maps etc..X12 or more, doing a maf calibration. Can't be arsed.
I went to BBR, which may be expensive but i've had a trouble free (60k miles now) experience, 5 map tweaks for free, i have a proecu kit so can log and upload maps myself. Just drop the car into a tuner, drink tea, wait a few hours, done. My kind of tuning, but the option is avaliable if you want to get more involved.
