Stand alone or piggyback, Is a piggyback any good Options

[beno]

Hey

I wanted to buy a apexi power fc for my car but I cant find a tuner in new zeland for it so i got told by the same shop to put in a HKS I.S piggyback ecu. I dont no much about tuning but what i have read about piggyback ecu's has made me think that they are not very good.
Is the HKS piggyback a good choice or should i get a stand alone ecu? Any background info on piggyback ecu's is much appreciated as Google didnt help me much...

EDIT# My goal is only 250hp at all four wheels# with stock motor, mods will be
3' exhaust, spark plugs and leads, fuel pump and pod filter.


Thanks for any help

easternpiro1, its all good im interested in what turbo people recommend to since we have the same goal in mind

I just got told by a car tuner that he hasnt seen a piggyback ecu work properly and recommended that i use a standalone. Hes only doing the tuning, im supplying my own ecu, so its not as though hes just saying that to get me to buy his product.
