Save up for some suspension mods, and don't bother with a chip.

Keep saving for a used Nitrous setup. Or just get a CAI.

nirtous yes.

Or...find yourself some good deals.....I got brand new rear Koni Yellows for 30 bucks a few weeks ago

actually.....Integra rear LCA's plus rear sway bar. Far under 200 bucks and your car will handle MUCH better

Just save up for new shock/spring combination, swaybars and strutbars, you will notice the difference

save your money till you can afford a nice set of springs or coilovers and a set of good struts.

do things right the first time and you will save money in the long run.

I say forget the suspension, maybe down the road but if your suspensions fine keep it and buy some performance....and I would say either buy the header or nitrous...forget the chipped ecu

save yourself another 300 and buy a used turbo kit off of here. you'll regret spending money on N/A stuff.

If you want a chip then burn uberdata, it's a great program and you'll love fiddling with all the features.
