That link was for a N/T. I would contact Jeff at DSMChips.com | DSM ECU Chips Enchanced by Keydiver. He can get you set up with everything you need. They don't make just a "chip" to tune your car and make more power without any mods.

oops sorry I didnt even look at that. But it still answers the fact that no you can not just drop a "chip" in.

Pending how late in the model year your car was made your ECU may be flashable out of the box, it may also have the flash port already installed (if not they're not expensive to put in, click on the word "tuning" below for instructions). If your ECU is flashable, you should be able to use Evoscan as a logger ($25) and ECUFlash (free) to tune it yourself, but you'll need a cable to do so. The Openport 2.0 cable ($180 with flash connector) has the full ability to log and flash our H8 ECUs, not to mention you can flash it over and over again as your mods increase.

Once you have a wideband O2, and the logger up and running, you can start to delve into tuning. Make sure to read heavily before attempting any tuning, messing around with your ECU blindly has a good chance of wrecking your motor. Basic timing/fuel maps can be adjusted on your stock rom and flashed back in, as well as injector and MAF scaling when you upgrade. Ceddymods (Donationware; i.e. free, but donations are appreciated) is making good progress on our ECUs, and the upcoming 2.0 release should have all kinds of goodies; from convenience things like CEL on knock and turning your useless factory boost gauge into a knock gauge or narrow-band, to straight performance options like launch control, No-Lift-to-Shift (already available in current release), and stock ECU boost control.

Seeing as your DSM info is blank (please fill it out) I'm going to assume you have little to no mods. In such a case tuning in any form will net you minimal gains. Your first mods should be maintenance, your car must be healthy if you plan to make reliable power. Then a real boost gauge (the stocker is not hooked to boost, it's a calculation from the ECU of what it "thinks" the turbo should be doing) and a wide-band to make sure you car is healthy and running smooth. Then follow the 2g Upgrade Path to reliable DSM glory.

If you're not interested in tuning yourself, as 95blackGsTurbo said, Jeff is a great guy and can tailor something for your car based on your upgrades. Hope some of that helps you out.
