Do some searching around my man. Piggybacks are useless with our ECU basically so look into standalone. As for ease, there is a plug and play Megasquirt available to us. Please go to the KFXPerformance section to check that out. THe info is all over the site, just look around a little bit.
Are you turbo or just planning?

Running a piggyback with our cars is useless as Ericy321 said. AEM has come out with a product called the FIC you may want to look into. I tunes the injectors off of their duty cycle instead of the TSP or MAF. The big thing is the SMT6 with a dual rail setup. I'm currently running that at over 400whp at the moment with no issues. The Megasquirt is a nice option as well, with the ability to swap it in and out in under twenty minutes. Searching will be your best friend here.

i have turbo but im only pushing 3psi, cuz all i have to tune with at the moment is an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. i ordered a piggy back but now im having second thoughts and i will probably end up going stand alone. thats why i asked what you all are using.

I'm running a SMT-6 with dual fuel rails like Denis. Works extremely well. I'm using the main fuel map to modify the TPS signal instead of the MAF/MAP so I can tell the ECU when to go into open loop. Works really good, and I've got no CEL. I do have a Beta2 Tiburon, but there's no reason the TPS mod won't work on the Beta1 ECU's.

I'm running an smt6 as well. Single fuel rail with the stock o2 sensors ganked(causes the stock ecu to go static, aka limp mode). Then I have a wideband to monitor things. It runs really good but I'm considering the kfx setup since it will be really really nice.

I'm running the KFX MS Stage 2, and my car is runnign great.
About 2 hours to install, then about 10 minutes to swap out afterwards. Tuning is pretty simple.
