This.

There are resources for you out there if you want to flash your own ECU but it's not for the faint of heart.

And you can change anything you want as long as it's what the manufacturer of the chip is programming to change. You won't find Hypertech or Superchips software for these cars. All you'll find is chips that you'll have to swap out with your old ECU chip. Most tuners offer two options: A) Send in your ECU chip to be tuned or B) Buy a new separate chip so you can swap the tuned chip and the stock chip at your leisure. GIAC used to offer freeware I had on my old laptop that would give you a flash but I think it only worked in conjunction with the RossTech diagnostic software.

Closest thing you're going to find to this is Maestro7 from Eurodyne. They give you a base tune and you can tweak it as you see fit. However its not exactly easy and far from cheap.

Or you can do a gut check and see if you're willing to pony up for an AEM EMS. you'll get it with base maps to start and idle the car, and you tune everything completely on the dyno. That is, after you build an engine bay harness to connect everything.
