You would be better served to start with your exhaust. Just going to a full 3" turbo back exhaust will not give you much in the way of HP gains, but you will get very improved spool up, especially at lower rpm. If you just do a ecu upgrade you will be limited by a restrictive exhaust, so you will get some gains, but not nearly as much if you do the hardware as well.
You will only crush your mileage if you get on the go peddle, but if you drive "normal" your mileage will probably go up, as surprising as that sounds, it is usually the case with a stage upgrade. Mine went up about 2-3 miles per gallon after my stage 3 upgrade.
There are a number of good tuners out there, JSP, Nordic, Maptun, they can all give you what you want and more
